BEAUTIFUL EFFECTS IN FINE MILL
| merry AT BARTON's.
In window decorating w. G.. Bar
IONS assistants have outdone them
selves, this year, having two of the
,andsomest display windows ever seen
It millinery opening at this popular
store. Mr. Barton was fortunate in
! engaging for this season as head MILL
ner, an accomplished New York artist,
Miss Myrtle Won Volkenburgh, who
has had as her assistants the talented
Mrs H. L. Grant, and Miss Bessie
Donnelly, already pleasantly known
to New Milford ladies. One of the
windows was red window. trimmed
with lace curtains, daisies, peoples and
foliage. Potted plants and some of
the exquisite creations in feminine
head gear added to the beauty Of this
window. The second window is deco
rated in light blue and green, with
lace curtains and smilax hanging from
the ceiling. Here was displayed, also,
some of the beautiful hats. The pop
ular colors are light blue and pink.
The colors are more decided than in
previous seasons. Black and white is
very popular, while lavender is worn as

this year, in the fancy weaves. The
pearl ornaments are largely used in the
cabachon form; indeed it may be said
that the pearl trimmings are the real
thing. Laces are quite in vogue,
draped in scarfs and in almost every
conceivable form. Foliage and flower
hats are very popular, and fancy quilts
and velvet ribbon are used with good
effect. The "Prince Henry" a foliage
hat, is decidedly stylish creation.
made entirely of foliage, rosebuds and
real lace. Another beautiful hat is
the black Du Mont, faced on the side
with pleated moline, having solid
foliage crown with folded upper brim
Of moline, finished with cabachons.
The Marquis hat has tucked brim
of white chiffon, strapped with black
velvet ribbon with chiffon applique
ends off brim. The Continental is
built something on the plan of the
Revolutionary Continental hat and is
popular with many ladies. Judging
by the high praise accorded the MILL
ners at this store, Mr. Barton has made
no mistake in his selection and the
season of 1902 seems likely to be the
most successful this store has ever
known.

The long talked of mems sociable

week in the Disbrow Memorial hall,

salads and cake would have done credit
to cooks of the fair sex. A musical

supper was served by walters in caps
and aprons, and all did full justice to
it, and the general verdict was tt at it

The poem follows:
! In the starting of this sphere.
When one man alone was here
We are told about it in the good old Book
Adam sent a prayer above
For mate to cheer and love.
And the reason was that Adam had to cook.
But from that time till this night
Things have gone SMOOTH. al was right.
We must fry, and boil, and bake.
Make angel pie and devil cake.
For the edict hath gone forth that man must
cook
When we meet the doctor now.
He viii pass us with bow.
He IS happy we can tell that by the look.
He'll be ready with his pill.
For his pOcketbOOk we'll fill.
For he knows all the men have got to cook
Now we men have done our best.
Will the ladies do the rest?
And when all have of this glorious feast par
took
The ladies then must pay the bill,
Call the doctor make their will;
Please remember all the men who had to cook
We men are ready for our work,
And from some housework will not shirk
Or play croquet together in some shady nook
We can WELD the pen or word,
We can run shuttle board,
But from this time on forever We'll not cook.
We've worked from morn till setting SUM-
he battles DER, the vctOrys won.
Aud we are tired. but o that blssful look!
For wien we have eaten all,
And for more there is a CALL
Sure, the girls have got to kiss the co ok.
