The Reign of Empire Gowns and Coats.
The reignof empire gowus and coats.
The vital question wether Empire lines
shall be or shall not be, is at last de-
cided so far as New York is concerned.
All high-class establishments have de-
clared themselves upon the affirmative
side, and are now busily preparing
gowns cut with the elevated waist -line
that is a destinctive feature of the
Empire dress. it has taken some time
to persuade the American woman to
adopt the new fashion, but from the
present indications it will be seen in.
all dressy gowns throughout the
Winter, and promises to become gen-
eral toward Spring. Rejected at first
as too radical, the picturesque but
daring unconventional lines of the
Empire gown have been gradually
modified until Josephine herself would
Fail to recognize, in the present-day
product, the distinctive dress of her
period. The belt -line of the Empire
gown is considerably higher than
nature indicates; the skirt is fuller and
moregraceful than the one from which
it takes its name, and the long lines
that fall from the softly draped bust
are decidedly more chaste. The long
coats and paletots, like the dressy
gowns, show Empire lines, real or else
simulated by crossed hands,revers,and
deep yoke effects. -From the October

Hicks Forcast for October
A reactionary storm period is in pro-
gress at the opening of October, with
a combination of astronomic causes
centering on the first half of the month
that must, in all reasonable probabilty
bring abnormal perturbations. Earth's
autumnal equinox covers up to about
the 20th; the Venus period is central on
the 17th, and covers the whole month;
the mercury period reaches up to the
10th, and the regular Vulcan period is
in force from the 2nd to the 7th. The
full moon falls on the 2nd being on the
celestial equator on the same date.
The probabilities are that the reaction-
ary storms, in progress as October
comes in will reach their culmination
on and touching the 2nd. Severe and
dangerous tropical storms are indi-
iu.the person of Miss Lila, youngest
daughter, of Mr. A. McAvoy, County
Treasurer, of Middlesex. His many
Exeter friends will join in extending
the heartiest congratulations.
A quiet wedding took place in Win-

tions to Fred and his better half.
Rev. J. W. TenEyck, who four years
ago was rector of Trivitt Memorial
church, Exeter, and has since com-
pleted his arts course and secured the
B.A. Degree at Toronto, has been ap-
pointed rector of St. Peter's church,
Hamilton. Mr. Ten Eyck stipulated
that when he became the rector of the
church all the ritualism would have to
be struck out of the service,and the
congregation agreed.

patrons the best service that is possible

complimented on its appearance and

At the Methodist General conference
at Montreal certain interesting points
were discussed and decided for another
four years. They were (1) The time of
a pastor's stay at any one place is to
remain as formerly, four years being
the limit, (2) Women are not allowed
a place on the quarterly board or to at-
tend conference, (3) The foot note in
the church discipline prohibiting at-
tending theatres, playing cards and
dancing remains as before.
The Exeter School Board has engag-
ed Miss Stella Gregory of Erin, daugh-
ter of Mr. Thos. Gregory of town, to
take charge -of the room that will be
vacated by Miss Dorrington on Nov-
ember the 1st. The salary is to be
$575. Miss Gregroy is a very capable
teacher and will undoubtedly fill the
position satisfactorily. Itis regretahle,
however, that Miss Dorrington has
seen fit to resign, her work in the H.
S. Department having been first-class.
It makes us very tired, indeed, to
have merchants insist on us to urge the
people to trade at home and not send
away to mail order houses or big city
stores for their goods, and when we go
around to settle our accounts have pre-
sented to us a bill head printed away
from home or receive copy for an ad
written on a letter head which never
"trade at home." Yes we believe in
it, but those who cry out so loud and
persistently should certainly be first
to set the example.

A Flew Venture:
Handford & McLean is a new
firm of horse dealers recently formed
in Winnipeg. Me. Thos. E. Handford
our fellow townsman and well ,known
horse dealer. deserves great credit for
the energy and enterprise displayed
the past number of years as purchas-
ing agent in this locality for Messrs.
Ryan and Fares of Winnipeg, the
largest dealers in horses in the west.
During the past six years he has
bought from the farmersof Huron and
Middlesex between 4000 and 5000 of the
best class of horses, for which he has
paid the handsome sum of nearly a
million dollars, and has by fair dealing
and correct business methods establish-
ed in this vicinity one of the largest
and best horse markets in Ontario.
With characteristic pluck Mr. Hand-
ford has decided to go more extensive-
ly, if possible, into the business and
with either end in view has formed a
partnership with Mr. McLean of Win-
nipeg and bought out the firm of Ryan
and Fares, and the new firm will carry
on the great sale and exchange stable
business there as was done by the late
Srm, and Mr. Handford will, as in the
past conduct the buying and shipping
from Exeter, Seaforth and other con-
venient points. As a Huron boy,
being born in Stephen Township, he
deserves our earnest congratulations
and sincere encouragement in this new
venture, for starting as he. di1 from
very small beginnings, being afarmer's
son of small means, he has byindomit-
able pluck and perseverance risen to
be one of the largest dealers in horses
in Canada. All horse men and others
interested in controlling for this part
of Ontario the great horse market of
the West. will join in wishing the new
firm every success, and those having
horses for sale will do well to consult.
Mr. Handford or his agents before dis-
posing of the same. The Advocate

will commence at Grand Bend and it

ital behind the scheme.
McLaughlin -Around.
The marriage took place at Brant-
ford on Wednesday, Sept. 19th, of Miss
E. Isabelle Bround to Mr Wm. Mc-
Laughlin, son of Mr. and Mrs. John
McLaughlin of Exeter. The•ceremony
was performed in the presence of the
immediate relatives and friends by
Rev. J. H. Pritchard, pastor of Alex-
ander Presbyterian church, at the
home of Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Puller,
13 Alfred St. The bridal party entered
the drawing room to the strains of
Mendelssolin,s wedding march and the
bride was given away by her grand-
father, Mr. Wm. Creighton, of Bur-
ford. The bride was very becomingly
attired in champagne voile over silk
and carried a baantiful briquet of brid-
al roses. Her travelling dress was of
navy bite Louisiene silk with hat to.
match. The bride was attended by
Miss Edith Creighton of Burford and
the groom was stipported by Mr. Leslie
Kaufman of Brantford. After the
Ceremony the wedding party adjourn-
ed - where re a very
to the g roomw r e y
tastily arranged dinoer was served
and the usual speeches were made.
The large number of presents testified
to the high esteem inwhich the con-
tracting parties are held. Mr, and
Mrs. McLaughlin are spending their
honeymoon with the former's parents
in town. We congratulate our young
friend and bride on the. event Ana.
wish then, every happiness in the mar-
ried state.
Three meetings have been held since
our last report. On Aug. 29, the Board
met to accept the resignatiou of Miss
Dorrington, rendered necessary by
continuous illness in the house of her
nearest relatives and the Board is sor-
ry to part with her, for her record, in
school and out of it has been in every
sense good. On Sept. 17 another meet-
ing was held, when supplies required
by the Principal for the Chemical de-
partment were authorized to be pro-
cured. Mr. Dennis' account .for re-
pairs, $1,25, was passed and a decision
reached to have the well once more
pumped out. On Sept. 19 the Board
met again. The Repairs Crain. report-
ed over 40 panes of glass broken dar-
ing the holidays and a total of 48 re-
placed. The Pi•incipal was authorized
to secure supplementary reading
cost of about $10.- This is realnired to
meet the requirements of the mid sum-
merexaims.of 1907. The H.S. students
are forming an Athletic Union and
presented a petition at this meeting
fol a holiday. for a program of field
sports to be held en the grounds some
Friday in Uctohei'. This was granted
on motion of R. N. Rowe and S Martin..
We think this a wise action on they
part of the Board. An active mind
cannot do its best except through an
active body and the previous training
necessary to a good day of field sports
is just the thing to produce it. We
hope the day chosen will prove an
ideal one and that every family in
town will be represented Ivy one or
innre of its members on the gr0nni1.
