Thi e is lways the re4 letter day in the year for the Sunday school children, and they enter into the services with the greatest enthusiasm.- Late in the- afternoon, supper was served in the school room, which was fully en- joyed not only:, by the ehildren but by many of the parents as well. This was followed by an excellent enter- tainment in the church. There was an unusually large attendance and every person was delighted with the excellent programme of music, re- citations, etc., ;provided by the schol- ars of the if anal. Every number was worthy of the applause which it received, 6nd the children acquitted themselves in a manner that re - fleeted the gr atest credit on their a own abilitiee nd on those who had them in train'l g. On Sunday morn- ing a special children's service was held. Rev, Mr. Graham, of Goderich officiated, while the musical part of , the service was provided by the chil- i dren assisted by the Supdpy school orchestra. The service throughout was most pleasing and edifying. The Manitoba Winter.—Miss Jen- nie, Luker, formerly of the township of Hay, writing from Rapid City, Manitoba on March 261,11 says: " A few eyords about our winter in the west may be of interest to your readers. December and January were \lovely months and -a person would not wish fornicer weather. In February we had just one storm, and it was not bad. The first real bad storm we had was on the 8th of March, but a neighbor brought it load �f wood from the bush, fifteen miles away, so you will see it was not so very severe. The next storm was on the 20th, of March, when it started to snow and blow, and kept itup in good style until the 22nd. On the 23rd it had moderated, but was stall a little windy, and on the 24th it started .up again' with a - vengeance. This had been the sev- erest storm we have experienced since we came to this country, four years ago. It continue,d to storm, snow and blow until the 25th at noon. But, perhaps it wag -only the tail end of one of your big storms in Ontario as by ail accounts you have had It fully worse in Ontario this winter than we have had it out here.

The time limits for beginning an finishing the road were reduced to ne year and three years respectivel . The bill will be recommended • ft a second reading, which practicall means that it will pass. Mr. 0. G. ePherson, of Strafe ford, selicitor fo the promoters on being interview 4 said; "The sur- vey, of Stratfor is complete, as is alsb that Of 'the route between St. Joseph and Heniet11, where the ties and fence posts are, already on eh° greund.

Millinery Ope ings.I—One of •mit en- terprising mere iants said in one of his recent adve ,tisenients, "No mat- ter what the w ether is like, spring reigns in this store and it will pay you to tramp through slush to get a glimpse at our beautiful new Ntock." And certainly tlioso who were out on Thursday and Saturday, the opening days in our dr goods stores, found t he statement quoted more titan verified. It stoned as though the merchants had put forth an extra effort to make their customers think of spring • and summer when they 'iavere . indoors rven if the weather elerk had his 1 teinge out of doors. One forgot to ttliver when looking in the windows • nd really the latter were dccoralc4 even more artisti- cally than they have been on former similar oceasio. s and that Is saying a good deal. qn going down street one stops firs at the windows of Learoyd & Cots store. Ilere were shown some dressy hats, a' number of pietty ready -to -wears and a figure with a greed' Ily draped gown of a soft blue material, Then there was an endless number of pretty laces, flowers and collars. Next we come to the store of -The E. Martini Dry Goods Company!. Tbe latter Iwo ex- cellent windows for showing goods. In the first were spring coats, as "Jetty as coulde, in plain and mixed eloths, readyal and silk and co ton blouses enough to i o -wear cloth skirts, distract one, aid the ready-to-wear hat to go wile them. The other windows were used for the millinery display. A figure in a crearn cos- tume wore it pretty picture but of cream lace, tinsel and forget-me- nots. Then theire were other dressy hats so pretty end tasty one hardly. knew which wee the most stylish. In the other window, the figure gown- ed in black silk, with a pretty lace collar, wore an exceedingly pretty hat of green and brown. , There were otber bats too and great bunches of the fruit whibh is so fashionable this year and baskets of flowers and laces and ribbons to no end. Down at the W. Pickard So Cos store they had one window for a black gowned fig- ure wearing a stylish black picture hat. A hat of green straw braid trimmed with ribbon of the same nix& 4it4 atonolt of pretty flowers.

There are turbans, but these are of the military style- and the torpedo shape with a pointed brim and crown. Then there is the shape with the flaring brim faced with folds or ruchings of chiffon and a triangular shaped crown and it has on it a mess of lace, ribeon and flowers that one wonders bow they all manage to blend so perfectly and find a place on the hat. The picture hat is al- ways shown in black and in fancy straw or lace's and trimmed 'with plumes, flowers and chiffon. There are no bonnetss only toqaes, but these are few, dainty and pretty. There seems to be a great variety of color- ings for this season, champagne, re - soda, and tie different tones tirifd shades of green, blue and brown. No two milliners give the same inter- pretation of the fashions in head wear and of course eiteh has her in- dividual excellence, so that one„feels no compunction in telling the people of the town and vicinity to take a look at each place and look well, for they will be treated with every at- tention, and tjien choose the hat which is most becoming., It would bardly be fair to speak only; of the window decorations. The millinery rooms were gay with festoons of laces, ribbons and flowers and down in tbe stores the dress goods of wool and silk, the pretty wash stuffs and the dainty collars, newestbelts and ribbons were all arranged in the Most tasteful way and one that was cerfainly pleasing to the eye. Per- - haps the best thing of all is teat in spite of the, weather a goodly num- ber of the prettiest hats were sold on opening days. • i Local Briefs.—Mrs. R. L.
