Mrs. Peters opened a millinery parlor, and soon induced Mrs. Merryweather to share the work with her. Together they make one of the most successful firms in the city.

Some of Mr. Peters’ Alabama friends, who are firm In the belief that AVashington is a wilderness and Centralia a backwoods town, would he surprised if they were to peep into the cosy home they have made for themselves out here, fur nished as it is in the most luxurious style, rivaling eastern homes for com fort and adornment. “Chas.
