SMART MILLINERY BETWEEN SEA-
 SONS.

Dear Sisters of The Corner: In niIii- nery, even more than in any other mat [ ters which pertain to her own particular
 realm, woman Is said to besas tickle as Eve. Just why that long suffering wom- an has to bear the burden of the accusa-
 tions calls for explanations. since from
 all accounts she seems to have chung with
 commendabie fidelity to one ngleaf design
 for several hundred years Nor would
 there seem any reason for dragging her
 into this discussion at all. for we have no
 record of Eyes ever wearing bonnet
 In that respect she was a very fortunate
 woman and escaped a great deal of tribu-
 lation, for of all the questions a woman
 has to decide (and she has many) that of
 her millinery is most vexatious.
 Mid-seasons are momentous times for
 the hat question. The winter creations
 begin to feel shabby. thought I might
 be some help to the sister who wrote,
 about wanting to know how to fix over
 hats. First. all materials ought to be
 thoroughly brushed and shaken free of
 dust; pick out all threads carefully. Gas

 your hot iron upside down and rest it 50 the flat side of the iron is uppermost Place over it piece of percaline soaked in cold water. Steam will rise. When steam ceases to rise, move the cloth along so that new wet spot is over the hot iron and more steam is rising. While the steam is strong, lay the wrong side of the material against the steaming cloth and brush 1t with sof1 hair velvet brush If the material is velvet OF plush, brush against the pile lightly, so as to make it stand up fresh. and until the pile is thor oVghly lry do not fold the velvet or press it with the, fingers.

Town Meeting.
The selectmen of the town have
issued notice to the effect that
there will be a special town meet
ing on Friday evening Of this week.
1t will be held at the Town hall and
commence at s o'clock. The meet
ing has been called for the purpose
of authorizing the selectmen to con-
struct a surface water sewer. Should
favorable action be taken on this
proposition, sum of money will be
appropriated for the same. The
project of having surface water
sewers on Broad street to Washing
ton street, has long been considered
by the town officials. However,
lack of men to work for the past
several years has held it up and the
appropriation of enough money suf-
fered accordingly.
Selectman william J. johnson has
had an estimate of the complete job
forwarded by several companies and
it is figured that ABOUT $4,000 will
be necessary to do the work. How
ever, this does not include the cost
of evacuating the earth and it is ex-
pected that good sized sum will be
needed. The plan Of the officials is
to have all local men work on the
job. There are numerous persons
who call at the selectmen's office
daily and ask for work. Should the
town decide to have the sewer in
stalled, work will be found for these
