DOMINION BANK CAPITAL (Paid Up), in one respect, another has something to balance with it. In the lower etore of W. Pickard & Co. a, pretty window display was seen, showing amon,g others, a stylish grey hat with sailor brim and scarf trimming of grey silk;a,dainty bonnet in green and gold, and pretty flowers, silks and ribbons. In the millinery department Miss Shepherd, who always has something pretty, is not behind her usual custom this season, and is showing very pretty designs in hats and bon. nets, which medicate taste and skill in the art of trimining, and Combination of color. This is perticularly shown in a hat of tusoan, trim. med with black velvet and purple flowers. In one of Orr windows of the E McFaul Com- pany's store,we are introduced to Miss Klon- --dike, dreesed in black silk, with one of those .stylish capes, a eieation of chiffon, -and a. large leghorn hat trimmed with lace and feathers, while around her ire many hate and bonnets she might choose from to com. plete a most stylish outfit. Mr. McFaul has had his storanewly fitted up this spring and the show room is very pretty, with the new -hard wood floor, the light 5nd dark wood %via, and new mirrors. A pretty store is always a delight and when it is tastefully decorated Will still more attractive: Miss Stobie who had always served the pub- lic so efficiently has this season mady pretty things. One little hat in yellow and black and a larger one made of black net, trimmed with rich plaid ribbon were muoh admired. In Mr.nokard's upper store Miss Sweet is commencing her first season in Sea. forth and has some stylish hats. The dhow - room and windows here 'also gave evidence of taste and art in decorating and although the millinery might not be as expensive or shown in so many styles as in the lower store, everything Was certainly very pretty and tasty. A brown hat trimme& with ribbon and shaded plumes was stylieh and 'could not help but be becoming to the wear- er while a large white leghorn with cream chiffon ties was quite new. Mr. Hoffinan haa also ms'cle a change this season and Miss Schooley has taken Mies Cavan's lace as imilliner, The latter always had pretty, !stylish bats but her successor is no at all behind her in that respect. Mr, Hoffman'e windowialthough not as lierge as tome of the others, looked very pretty indeed elth its silk flowers and ribbons tastefully arranged, not to mention the pretty hats. rfhare was a bleak net hat trimmed with tips and vol. vet ties, whiah was as pretty as could be, An. other ofshirred tulle bad a row of crinison roses,covered With the ,tullo around the brim and a third hat with tam a'shanter orown and brim of rough etraw had,00mbined with the shot ribbon, prlitty flowers in the, new burnt orange, And now wo have been_ to every gore that lied a millinery opening i4id one could not help but be Almost glad there wore no more, for where there ere so limy pretty things to see ono does not know where to Atop nor what to chem.

APRIL WEATHEn. —Our March weather this year seems to have postponed itself until April. The showers that make May Rowers have been snow flurries and alto- gether the weather has been cold and dis- agreeable with strong piercing north and west winde. With such weather the farm- ers are beginning to fear for their fall wheat, but as yee little or no eerious damage has been reported. The ground was dry and has thus prevented harm from being done by the ,severe frosts of the past week or so. The greater danger now seems to be- that_ the ground will remain too dry, but we will live in hopes that April's latest vagarity will be to give us some nice warm rain. • / I‘ESENTATION TO REV.
