Will be on a grander scale, a more comprehensive and more

It Will Be Well Worth Waiting For.
Miss Frances Field, well known as a fashion authority in the East, recently wrote:

Army.
The most decisive note struck in the styles for millinery seems to be
tho abundance of flowers used.
The entire brim of the hat is often made of flowers.
The shapes of the new spring hats are many and various. The three-cor-
nered affairs are again fashionable. The crown is more prominent than it has
been for several seasons, and the brim more reduced in size, always except-
ing the Gainsboroughs, which appear every year with unvarying regularity.
And what she says strikes the nail squarely on the head. Of course we have everything approved by correct
fashion. Each lady visiting our store during the opening day will receive a dainty buaclt of Violets as a souvenir. A
large $1.00 bunch of perfumed Violets in a prettily decorated box will he given with each pattern hat sold.

guire, after long ilelilve ration, decided

his hair is said to have turned snowy
white in six weeks.

"YVhat is the king of England, what
is the kljig of Germany .compared
with thee. O Maheroo. first among
all princes? Have they so many
thousand cattle as thou? No! What
is so mighty as art thou?” The He-
reros despise Europeans. The name
for a European Is otyirumbo—'white
thing.'’’—New York Tribune.
