Several complaints have been made
recently of the condition of the rail-

the foot of Main street. The plank
ing between the tracks is in a bad
condition, liable to catch a horses
hoof between the track and the plank
and probably to do some serious dam
age. The fence at the Main street
crossing is also in a bad condition
with a part of the section torn down,
which makes it dangerous passing to

About the Hat.

There is a set Of rules about hats
and their wearers that should be rig
idly followed.
II a. woman has a thin face and Is
Inclined to he sharp featured let her
beware Of hats that go up of her
face.
This kind Of hat only tends to out
line her defects and she should choose
a hat that is brought well forward.
Her hair. too, should be loosely ar
ranged and never drawn back in a
plain fashion. Share or smart hats
should be almost avoided and fancy
edges adopted.
II one has features that look good
at a casual glance. hut viii not bear
inspection. a hut crushed-in and pulled
out with many corners and angles will
be her most becoming design.
This tends to nystify and one finds
herself unwilling TO investigate--the ef-
feet is too good to unbalance.
A small face should deal warily with
the picture hat. IT is worry liable to
have its saving gaces drowned in the
depths Of the enormity and should
never be attempted by any one who
has not the height sufficient to carry.
A well-formed face can show off
most any model and it is with this
sout of face in-viaw that most designs
are created.
