Results from such ploWing are great

To make wide, deep bitches nothing

Ter 100 feet, or in making ellis" it is
specially serviceable.
1t is a mistake, however, to attempt
o handle long haul material with this
,craper, as the wheel scraper is better
,dapted to such work.
For hauls of more than 500 feet a
wagon should be used
The machine most generally used in
'oad work is the grader, or road ma
hine. This machine is especially use

A clay subsoil under thin coat

CIeuo-WjISon,

The following account of the mar
riage of Mr.. Philip Clegg, son of Mr..
Vim. Clegg of this city, which took
place April Is, appeared in one Of the
Worcester, New York, papers:
"A very pretty wedding was solemn.
lied on Tuesday afternoon at two
o'clock at the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
Jonathan D. Wilson, Of this city,
when their daughter Louise Alvord
was united in marriage to Mr.. Philip
Clegg. of Lafayette. La. The bride is
popular in Worcester society where,
she has a great many friends,
some of whom knew and admired
her illustrious grandfather, the late
Hamilton w. Robinson of New York.
The ceremony which was performed
by the Rev. Frank Wilcox, of the
Second Congregational Church, took
place in the drawing room, which
was decorated with Easter lilies and
ferns, the large wedding bell of Ever
green forming a beautiful setting for
the bridal party. The bride was at.
tended by Mrs. William D. Scott of
Buffalo, N. Y, as matron of honor and
Mr.. George w. Marriott of New
York City acted as the BEST man. The
bride looked very beautiful in an en-
pire gown of white messaline satin,
trimmed with exquisite princess lace.
Her tulle veil was caught with orange
blossoms and her bouquet was a show
er of brides roses and maiden hair
fern. Her only ornament was the
pearl and diamond pin, the gift of the
groom. The matron of honor who was
a bride of last June, wore her we'd
ding gown of white faille made prin-
cess and carried pink roses. The
brides gift to her attendant was a
pearl and sapphire pennant.
After the informal reception which
followed the guests were served with
dainty refreshments. The brides gifts
were numerous and very handsome
including many checks, large pieces
of silver. china and cut class.
Mr.. and Mrs. Clegg left in the after
noon for an extended Southern trip,
where they will visit the home of Mr..
Clegg in Lafayette, La, going later to
st. Louis, thence to New York where
fhpv will maEo fhoir homo
Among the guests from out of town
were the brides uncle, Mr.. Henry A.
Robinson, of New York, with his wife
and daughter, Edgarda, Mr.. Edward
Daily and Mr.. George Marriott of New
York and Mrs. William D. Scott Of
Buffalo. Mrs. Scott is remembered in
Worcester as Elizabeth Coffran, the
daughter of Rev. Frank H. Coffran,
pastor for many years of the Worces-
ter Congregational church.

THE FALL STYLES S

accentuate the very long-waisted ef-
feet. Buttons are fewer in number
but are unusually handsome, and are
also larger.
'HTaken altogether the new tailor
made suit models are extremely
smart and becoming and no woman
will fail to be pleased with what
fashion has created for her wearing
in this line for fall and winter"
Our editor sought a few words of
information regarding the other new
styles in dress and Mr. Keavin cheer
fully and patiently responded.
'"The separate skirts are smartly
Stylish" he said. 'The directoire"
effect is especially noteworthy with
it's clever lines and dressy closed pan
el effect. The Moyen Age tendency of
style is also exemplified in the new
skirt effects. The Introduction of the
deep yoke with pleated skirt fullness
affords opportunity for the develop
ment of designs that hold real novelty.
Novelty is not alone confined to the
designs but all the most desirable ma
terials show many touches that place
them above the ordinary.
''In millinery the large hats will un-
doubtedly have the greatest vogue,
even the toques and turbans, which
will be popular, being larger than US
ual.
trimmings, most favored are
feathers jet, velvet, plush ribbons and
ornaments The fabric coveted hats
are in great favor, also with the Fifth
Avenue New York Milliners. Black
will he in great vogue, although a
wide color showing is offered. a. ,.s..,t
Sin ladies' ready-towear I have
bought the finest line this trip ever
brought to Minot," said Mr.. Keavin.
"The line, too, will be absolutely cor
rect in every detail of style. I go to
market later than most buyers and
thus make my selection when the
styles are settled. In fact, one house
visited, had completely changed their
styles from those they showed earlier
in the season. The appearance in
Paris of many new types emphasizes
the Importance of the separate wrap.
The coats and capes have bought do
not run to the extreme but are cor
rect examples of the new fashions and
in the particularly attractive.
"To the minor articles of women's
Dress" continued Mr.. Keavin, 81 have
paid especial attention. In New York
I made more extensive purchases than
ever and covered a wider, range of
goods. The new ideas are very beau
tiful, particularly in dress goods, silks,
Innings and trimmings. The new EN-
broideries are extremely handsome y
l also bought heavily of the staple and
novelty lines OF dry goods and in ev-
cry line this season / have provided
wider selection than usual"
"But, continued Mr.. Keavin," why
waste time telling about the new
goods when you have only to step into
our store to see them for yourself
Our showing of the advance styles Is
at present complete and varied. Come
along"
Following Mr.. Keavin the editor WIS.,
tied the store and what was seen fully
bore out all that Mr.. Keavin had said.
This treat is one that may he enjoyed
by all style-loving women in this VIC
Unity and that this store will be their
mecca throughout this season is
prediction certain to be fulfilled.
