One of the most striking OF the
many striking creations this spring IN
the way of feminine headgear reJoices
in the name of the MERRY Widow"
sailor. and is destined to be very
popular, SO it is said, the coming sea-
son. This production of the miillner
art is made of rough fancy braid
and with a brim which varies in width
to suit the fancy of the wearer'
some Of them of the more modest pro-
nortions possess a brim of little larger
than the sailors of other seasons, out
others OF the more pronounced type
are said to have a spread OF over ~
inches and serve admirably the pur-
noee Of a sun umbrella. The crown
Of the hat is high and is compromise
between a collar box and an old fash
toned flower pot, but the crown does
not count as it is hidden from view Dy
the "Merry widow bow and the 9TH
or parniture of the hat. in which are
included long sprays of grasses. ETC.
Some of these hats are rich burnt
shade. trimmed with two rows of blue
ribbon around the crown and brought
into the bow above alluded to at the
side front. and the effect is COM
Melted by the addition Of the grasses.
In snite of some of the radical lea
lures however. the hat is q strikingiy
nrettv one. and is destined to be very
much in effect as soon as the Marcn-
like winds have vanished and the mats
can he worn with any degree OF cons
fort and safety.

The ice at Cobbosseecontee is said
to be showing signs of weakness. al
though it was solid enough Sunday for
ice boating. 1t is said to be breaking
up some on the east shore and turning
black out in the middle of the lake,
which are good signs. Local fisher
men are patiently waiting for the ice
to disappear, and the opinion of many
seems to be that the date of that

use in connection with the transporta-.
ton of materials. The construction
should be commenced Immediately.

legations to be made, as a result of
which it is found that, for the pur-
pose of constructing the roads and
trails grading outfit can be imme-
diately hired This consists of sixty
animals and harness with scraper and
scraper outfits and plows, tents and
equipment for sheltering and feeding
the grading employees.
The board has been able to secure
this outfit at a price of $3.50 per ami
NAL per month, to include the entire

the board will enter into a contract for
the hiring of the outfit under the
emergency provisions of the city char
