A number Of ladies attended the
millinery opening of Mrs. r. Gala
way & Co. on last Thursday and Fri
day. The firm displayed q very Sc
lect and up-to-date line of everything
kept in millinery store. The show
cases, windows, ETC., looked pretty
and lovely with the seasonable and
fashionable goods, and the throng
of people apparently viewed them
with admiration. We incidentally
dropped in" on Friday for the pur-
pose of seeing, so we could embellish
when we came to make mention of
the opening, but we are naturally
so green dull and ignorant" about
millinery that We are at loss for
proper words to use. One thing we
noticed, however, and that was some
of the customers were already wear
ing such broad hats that the door
was little too narrow for them to
get in without the edges of the hat
touching on both sides.

Notice to patrons who have pupils
to enter first grade: After Monday,
October 26, 1908, pupils as beginners
will not be enrolled as pupils Of the
Westminster Graded School. This
action was taken by the board of
trustees and principal last Saturday
afternoon. The reason for this Is
that to permit pupils to enter as be-
ginners at any time during the ses-
sion the first grade teacher will have
five or six grades instead Of one
grade. Parents who have children
ready for first grade will please take
note of this fact and govern them
selves accordingly. Stop and think
and you will see the necessity for
this ruling.
