SHAPES AND SHADES. -It was un-
pleasant weather outside on Saturday,
hut on entering the several millinery
show rooms in town, it was forgot-
ten in the bright surroundings and gay
flowers that suggested warmth and
spring sunshine. The decorations of
the showrooms were tastefullydisplay-
ed and a large crowd of ladies were
out to select their Easter hats and bon -
n ets. The Easter bonnet -in these later
clays is more often the Easter hat -is
livelier than has been.It is no exag-
geration to say that the spring hat of
1899 is a more exquisite production
than that of any other season. Colors
and shapes are all of the most exten-
sive range, and there is no displeasing
one in the lot. Yellow is popular, and
comes out ftresh every spring. Then
in the newer shades there are Mul-
berry and Cyrano, which is a modifica-
tion of the cerise so much worn last
season, while blue, turquoise and pink
in all tones in ribbons and flowers will
be much worn. The shapes have not
altered very much. Last year many
of the shapes turned up at the front,
this season many hats are tilted down-
wards. The coming summer will un-
doubtedly,be a flower season, blossoms
being more popular than ever, largely
taking the place of plumes. Ribbons,
flowers and fancy net will also be
used. Walking hat shapes and short
backed sailors and a variety of tur-
bans are the leading designs shown.
FAREWELL TO R. S. LANG. -On
Tuesday evening last a 'number of citi-
zens gathered at the Metropolitan
hotel to say good-bye to R. S. Lang,
who was about to leave for Toronto to
reside. Some twenty-five persons sat
down -to a sumptuous repast provided
by mine host and hostess of this popu-
lar host)ery. Tbs sapper over, Reeye,
H. Spackman was appointed chairman
of the meeting,who in a few well-chos-
en words presented Mr. Lang with a
handsome gold ring, on behalf of those
present. Mr. Lang, who was taken
wholly by surprise, made a feeling re-
ply and thanked his friends for 'the
beautiful gift and kind remembrance.
He would take pleasure in wearing it,
and cherish it as a sonyenir of the
many pleasant days' spent in Exeter.
A toast list was then disposed of as
follows: -- Dominion Parliareent and
Senate, by Dr. Rollins and L Hardy;
Municipal Council and institutions, by
Ex -reeve Bawden and J. W. Taylor;

interests, by N. Dyer Hurdon and B.S.
O'Neil '• agricultural interests by A.
Tait and 3. McLaughliita the ladies by
3. J. Knight-, and the press by M. J.
White. The addresses were intersper-
sed by songs from Joseph Senior, N.
Dyer-Ffnrdon and James Walters. A
very pleasant evening was spent, the
meeting breaking up at a seasonable
hour. qr. Lang has been a valued cit-
izen of Exeter, genial and public spir-
ited, and his departure is regretted by
a very large circle of friends, whnjoin

and family a happy future in their
