The First Station East of Grand Rapids on the
Northwestern Railroad.

In company with J A. Gaynor We
drove to kcllner the past week. a
distance OF about six miles, to see
what had been accomplished there
since the advent Of railroad. We
found there handsome depot. not as
large as the one erected in Grand

the same. Frank W. AbbS is station
agent. Near the depot is a good sized
house in which the section foreman,
Frank ". Lipke, and his family reside.
A. II. kleberg Of NekOOSa. operates
the only store there. where he keeps a
well assorted stock of groceries. -four
and feed, hardware. furniture, farming

business. His store is located in the
building formerly used for d
cheese factory and Andrew Timm is
acting as clerk.

closed in which he expects to start a
saloon when it is completed. His
building faces the north and south
line road between Portage and Wood
counties and only a short distance
from the railroad track.
There is considerable stone on the
grounds near the railroad tract d
little east OF the depot which we
understand is to be used for the
foundation walls Of potato ware
houses to be erected there this sum-
mer.
The town site round and about the
depot consists Of forty acre tract Of
land level and fine building spot. In

skirt of this beautiful gown is laid in
tiny box pleats from tine belt to the
circular 1ounce in the direct front
gradually growing shorter at the sides,
and sloping up to the shrring at the
back of the skirt. Where the tucks
end. the fullness forms the flare of the
skirt. Each tuck is edged with five
rows of stitching, done with Corticelli
stitching silk At the head of the cir
cular flounce there is broad applique
of Russian lace, the material being cut
away underneath. On this lace are
three rows OF pale green velvet ap-
pliqued in Greek design. The flounce
is confined half its depth by the box
pleats, the fullness spreading below.
The bodice is also tucked and fastened
with little loops and buttons. Over
this there is a bolero OF Russian lace
trimmed with the bands of green vel

are covered to the elbow with the lace.

Gray felt and cloth walking hats are
to be seen in all shades from almost
white to steel gray. One particularly
handsome one was a turban of tucked
cloth in light tone of gray, brought
rather close down on the back of the
head and trimmed at that point with
a rich cluster of silver gray leaves. A
charming upturned arrangement of the
tucked cloth gives sufficient finish to
the sides. and the front was artisti-
cally trimmed in black ribbon and
silver gray leaves.

Newest in Furniture,

The verify newest thing in the way
Of furniture is called the mission
STYLE and was first suggested to the
inventor by seeing an old Spanish
mission chair brought from California
in 1894. Its quaint outlines and in
teresting construction indicate the
possibility of a scheme OF handmade
furnituresbuilt on the old early Eng
lish architectural lines. Built of ma
tive ash, stained in browns, grays and
green's, it is guiltless of armament,
and no carving. not even molding
diverts attention from the severely
straight lines.
