| MILLINERY OPENING AT BARToN's.
| W. G.. Barton's popular store has
been thronged with ladies from this
and adjoining towns, attracted by the
opening in the millinery and cloak and
suit departments. The newest MILL
merry creations show very decided
crowns and rather broad: faring brims.
The fancy for wearing the hat we'll
forward, tipped over the brow remains
popular, and when the hair is proper
| ~ arranged-high at the back SO as to
support the hat without the addition
and generally becoming. For wear
with the tailor costume and walking
dress, the small turban severely trim
med will be good style, but the large
hat will be the correct mode for Occa-
sions when very dressy toilets are dis
played. A conspicuous note in the
autumn models is the lavish use OF
plumes. The new shapes require some
softening, and no other trimming
gives this effect like the graceful os-
trich feather, which, by the way, has
this season taken all kinds of twists
and turns. An effective arrangement
Is to have the plumes round and roll
over on the hat. The prune shades
blues and the green's are brought into
use. As already noted the high effects
in ladies' hats have the call, this sea-
son. On many hats little touch of
gilt is used with becoming effect.
Velvet roses and foliage are used to a
small extent in the decorating, but
wings have the call. For the children
the newest shape is the "Paul Jones"
three-quarter hat. The windows of
the store were very handsome, having
a green background, trimmed with
trimmed hats. The millinery depart
ment is in charge of Miss M. @. White,
a talented artist in her line, assisted
by Miss Anna Halpine and Miss Bessie
Donnelly. Miss Slauson Is the sales
lady in the millinery room.
A CLEAN ELECTION.-No RUM OR
MONEY USED.
Thanks to the good judgment Of the
leaders OF the republican and demo-
cratic camps, no money or liquor was
used in Mondays election to influence
votes. 1t was admitted to be the
quietest and most orderly election
held in recent years. There was little
drunkenness on the street, for which
all decent people rejoiced. The FLOAT
but refrained from voting as rule,
