The Gazette, 1893-10-12, Page 9• ILLINERY. MILDMAY'S DISPLAY. 'THE TDEPARTMENT CTS THETS THE WHICH Is Well Represented In Mildmay. To have a pretty hat is the joy of the feminine heart,and the lady who cannot be satisfied in this respect in Mildmay (provided papa's pocket book is long enough) is, indeed, very fastidious. Our most expert fine -art reporter wan- - clered through the mazy mysteries of -'the various millinery parlors in town -- the other ay and was delightfully be- wildered at the bewitching displays. Although not thoroughly versed in millinery matters he noticed a vast dif- ference in styles since last season. In- stead of turning up at the back and having the trimmings there, the hats are now tilted up in front,and the embel- lishments, too, are placed forward. His innocent remark that a last year's hat - turned "hind -side -front" would about meet the requirements of the present styles, was met with such a look of pity - for his ignorance from the ladies in charge that he refrained from volunteer- ing any more opinions. Colors, too, , have changed. The flaring yellows have given place to beautiful shades of green which are delicately tinted to suit :•-lmost any complexion.. Some lovely • hats in a sort of fur trimming .looked. captivating, although in such a change- _ r ble climate as this there might come ;^asional warm days when the wearer would wish she had something lighter or the occasion. Bead and jet work . still remains popular and many new de- signs are introduced. Shapes,of course, tire of every variety consistent with the prevailing styles, and every form of_ feminine beauty can have the most ex- treme whim gratified in this respect. more apt to appreciate-ia-the fact that prices here are unusually low. In every branch of trade Mildmay has the envi- able reputation of paying the highest prices for produce and selling merchan- dise at the lo -west prices. This plan is extended also to the millinery business, and the fact that Mildmay fall millinery already graces the heads of several fashionable ladies from surrounding towns, shows that the fair sex appreci- ate both the economy and satisfaction of leaving their orders in Mildmay. AT A. Mo'!n's - -sneautiful parlors there has been a spec - t1 effort made to meet the wants of the ',ladies. Extended lines of feathers, • sowers, ribbons, pins and trimmings ^:re in stock, as well as a wide range of -.trimmed hats. Misses Addie and Annie ,yloyer have charge of this department and the large trade already done is an evidence of the gratification the work of ...heir artistic fingers gives. The par- ters are light and airy, giving an excel - 1 int opportunity of showing the goods :to the best advantage. These young ;.ladies also have charge of a superb _-;tock of ladies' ma.ntles,fino shawls, lace goods, etc., which are displayed in the :millinery rooms. Auction Sales.

This enterprising firm has taken a leading interest in millinery for several years past, and their preparations for this season have been on an extensive scale. Everything imaginable in the millinery line is here displayed and the --,kilful taste of Miss Bessie Curie, who for the past couple of seasons has had charge of the department, has made the -parlor a very attractive place for the ;large number of ladies who patronize this store. While thorough attention is :given here to the general millinery :trade, yet special care is devoted to eshildren's hats and bonnets, iu which .difficult line the beautiful and varied :styles are a very pleasing feature which :mothers should not miss seeing.

Temperance Column. Ediiied by the Mildmay Branch of the W.C. A TYPICAL CRITIC Or PROHIBITION: A. gentleman from Western New York was ititroducd at my home a few weeks ago ; he wished; he said, for information about prohibition. I said : " How long have you been in town ? " " I have been here a week.' "Then you must have veen and heard enough to enable you to form an opinion about it. What do you think of it ? " " I think it is a failure." Where are you stopping ? " "At the Falmouth Hotel." "Do they sell liquor there ? " No ; I tried to get some and could not." "Did you try anywhere else ? " "Yes. I went to the Preble, and they would not let me have any." "Did you try anywhere else ? " "Yes. I called at a druggist's and couldn't get any." "Did you try anywhere else ? " "I went to a barber's shop and asked if he could tell me where I could -get a drink, and he said he did not know any such place." "Well, you've been been here a week and have tried your best to get a drink and have failed. Why . do you think prohibition a failure." "One morning I was i,a the park and saw a drunken man with a bottle, and from that I saw that prohibition was a failure." "If you had seen in a morning paper an account of the conviction of a thief, would yon conclude our criminal laws to be a failure and suggest their repeal and a license instead ? " "Oh, no ; that is different." "Do you know if that drunken "man came here from Boston in the early morning steamer with the bottle in his pocket or that he bought it here." "No, i. do not know about that." "There is not 100th part so much liquor sold in Portand now as there was before the law, and the city is twice larger than it was then. Doesn't that indicate the law to be a great success?'' No, to my mind it is a failure." "Consnmption is a fatal disease ; it kills all whom it attacks. Suppose somebody should announce a cure for ,it, and on trial it is found to cure ninety- nine cases out of every hundred, would you consider the remedy a failure or a success?" He made no answer, but took.his hat and left. "I said "Good morning" instead of "What a fool you are I" Tho Oil Springs Chronicle has chang- ed hands, and will hereafter be con- ducted by Mr, Albert E. Ketch. A clockwork mileage indicator for cycles has been invented by Hector Levy, Paris. It is fitted to the steering socket just above the frame, being con- nected by a rod with the axle of the front wheel. The dial is clearly mark- ed, and its position shows the distance ridden at a glance. It is marked to register kilometres, having been special- ly prepared for the French market.

There is a very large gathering of dele- gates and the occasion is a very im- portant one.

He has acted in a remark- able manner, told various stories, and if he is not guilty he will have a desperate job to prove his innocence. It has bean demonstrated that he bought poison just before starting, and the result of It is safe to say that in no town in this or adjoining comities is there a finer, wider or more fashionable display t Ian can be found in Mildmay, and the ladies who go away from home to get their millinery make a sad mistake.

Most of the strikes and labor troubles would be avoided if men used , their wages for their family instead of turn- ing them over to the dram -sellers. When fathers drink beer, children cry for bread. T. V. Powderly speaks thus to his fellow workmen : "Had 110,000,000 tongues and a throat for each tongue, I would say to every man, woman and child hole to- drive in Furs, Seasonable Dress Goods, Suitings and Gents' Furnishin night : Throw strong drink aside as yon l gs. would an ounce of liquid hell. It sears the conscience, it destroys everything it touches. It reaches into the family circle and takes the wife you had sworn to prc.tect and drags her down from her purity - into that house from which no decent woman ever goes alive. It in- duces the father to tape the furniture from his house, exchange it for money at the pawn -shop, and spend the pro- ceeds in rum. It damns everything it touches, I have seen it in every city east of the Mississippi River, and I know that the most damning curse. to the laborer is that which gurgles from the neck of the bottle.

In one Penusylvauia county in a single year, $17,000,000 was spent for liquor, and it was estimated that $11,000,000 of the amount came from workingmen. A bushel of corn makes four gallons of whiskey, which retails for $16.
