Skirts mad with vc.iy narrow gores, each seam outlined with narrow jet, gimp, galloon or other fancy trimming, are among the novelties.

Princess dresses with wide bands of trimming from the tops of the shoulders in a continuous line to the hem of the skirt are among the novelties.

A becoming and sensible stylo for arranging the haL* is to crimp the sides slightly, curl the front over the forehead and twist the back into a rat her so-1, l.ios.e knot, fast ne with 1'aney pins of various sorts.

GREENFIELD. INDIANA, THURSDAY EVENING, MARCH 7, 1895. PRIOR TWO CENTS

The .Lady Editors Ileturii Tlianks aiwl Touch tin Hancock Democrat up on I'.se ot 1'iiiler J'late.

Tha ladies who had charge of the Riv PUBLICAN on the 22nd met at the residence of Mrs. I. P. Poulson Friday evening to settle up the affairs of the paper and Colonial Tea. Among other things that come up for discussion was the very courteous treatment we received during our stay in Mr. Montgomery's office. The ladijs were unanimous iu praise of his kindness and liberality and a hearty vote of thanks was extended him by the late editorial staff. Some there were who were desirous of explainging to the public why any "boiler plate" matter (which sterns to have precipitated the tender feeling of our brother of the Hancock Democrat fame into some sort of a "boiler" where they still lie simmering) was used. Money "the root of all evil" was what the ladies were after and not literary fame. The plate matter was donated by Mr. Montgonery where as had original matter been used the cost of composition would have had to have been paid which would have greatly lessened the proliti on the "write tips" and advertisements. Haviflg accomplished our object we may in the near future show Greenfield what we can do when left to our own t*.veet wills with no thought of economy staring us in the face. A meeting was called for Tuesday evening at Mrs. Poulson's for the purpose of perfecting a permanent organization whose aim will be to add littl^by Mtilato sums on hnnd and whi.-h will be needed toward furnishing the new M. E. church. Dainty refreshments were served by Mrs. Poulson assisted by Mrs. S. R. A Veils and Mrs. E. B. Howard. We gratefully acknowledge our indebtedness to the Herald and Tribune for favors bestowed. The fact that they having published the locals and programs we sent in free of charge is highly appreciated.

AVhen our attention was called to the plate matter by the Hancock Democrat we made a few observations: First our paper contained 22 columns of matter setup in the REPUBLICAN office, 6 columns of plates and 20 columns of advertising. The issue of the Hancock Democrat that criticised us contained 15 columns of set matter, only about two thirds what we had, and 10 columns of plates or about twice as many as contained by our paper, and 23 columns of advertising. Now, honor bright, who gave the people the most reading Our paper was a daily, whereas the Democrat had a week to get the':fj.v.pcr out and yet u.-ed about twice as many plates as we did. "Oh, consistency thou art a jewel" but soi-ne people are never expected to consist.
