Mrs. Mary A. Larcom has just re- 
turned from a pleasant visit of two weeks 
spent at Sanford, Me., as guest of Mrs. 
Joseph Baker. 
Postmaster Elmer Standley is planning 
to take next week off from his usual 
duties and with Mrs. Standley will spend 
it for recreation. 
Yacht Nixie II, owned by S. J. Con- 
nolly, won another leg in last Saturday’s 
Jubliee Yacht club race and by so doing 
became the possessor of the Stanton cup. 
About thirty Farms young men met 
at Marshall’s hall Wednesday evening 
and after the matter had been thoroughly 
discussed, the sentiment seemed unani- 
mously in favor of forming a marching 
battalion to take part in the Republican 
campaign. ‘The name selected will be 
the same asthat of four years ago,— 
West Beach Tars, and steps will be 
made at once to secure the suits. The 
prospects looks good for a membership 
of sixty, anda drum corps. ‘They will 
take part in all the parades in this vic- 
inity.

Golden Anniversary at Almy, Bigelow 
& Washburn’s. 
Almy, Bigelow & Washburn, Inc., 
the big department store at Salem, holds a 
golden anniversary to celebrate its fiftieth 
birthday, beginning next Wednesday, 
October 7th. 
Preparations for this great event began 
nearly a year ago and it promises to be 
the greatest of the kind ever held in New 
England. ‘The entire store will be trans- 
formed; lavish and beautiful decorations 
in gold combined with thousaands of 
electric lights, making of it a magnificent 
picture long to be remembered. 
In addition to the regular Saturday 
night opening, the store will be open 
Wednesday evening to accommodate the 
crowds of visitors who will want to see 
the grand illumination which is to be a 
special feature. The opening day, a 
beautiful illustrated souvenir book, con- 
taining the store’shistory will be given 
away to the first ten thousand visitors. 
There will be music every day for the 
balance of the week. Another feature 
which will interest the shopping public 
will be the offering of fifty bargains, one 
for each year of thefirm’s age. All will 
be a real dollar value and all will be of- 
fered at hfty cents. 
It will certainly be a gala event and 
one which will reflect great credit upon 
the firm of Almy, Bigelow & Washburn,

FALL HINTS IN MILLINERY. 
Fall and winter millinery fashions in 
all their glory were put on display yes- 
terday at Webber’s. The spacious 
millinery room decorated with tropical 
palm was very inviting, but the eager de- 
votees of fashion who thronged the salon 
had eyes for nothing but the hats of 
which there is almost endless profusion. 
Hats big and little---French, English, 
New York, and distinctively ‘‘ Web- 
ber’s.’’ Hats are there in all materials 
and colors. 
If one were asked to choose a word 
to express strong characteristics of pre- 
vailing styles in millinery, it would be 
difficult to find one more fitting than 
pleasing.’’ 
The impression made from the models 
exhibited is a genuine surprise. Ex- 
tremes of style may come and extremes 
of style may go but there is a certain 
clientel which prefer high quality millin- 
ery of a modest style, which is suited for 
every occasion. 
The models shown at Webber’s are 
especially desirable for those whose ex- 
clusiveness and careful taste is expressed

in the selections of beautiful hats and 
which avoid extreme. 
One of the newest things which at- 
tracted the attention of the writer was a 
pretty feather effect in the Indian or 
Pocahontas wreath made of wings, quills 
<nibirds to surround the crown. ‘The 
wreath resembles nothing more than an 
Indian head piece and is more than likely 
to be one of the pleasant sensations of 
the season. 
Flowers, particularly large roses and 
poppies will. be worn, but indications 
point toward a feather season. ““A 
dream of a Hat’’ is in an amethyst color 
of a Bengaline silk and satin combination 
ornamented with roses and foliage in the 
same colorings and a myrle bird with a 
taupe colored veil which can be worn 
over the face. 
To sum up this beautiful Autumn 
Opening in a few words would be to say 
that there is everything to make the hear 
of feminity glad. 
Every woman who is a close devotee 
of fashion will not fail to see this charm-
