MILLINERY DISPLAY AT G. H. STILES’. This firm has now showing a very good show of summer millinery together with fancy straws, children’s millinery etc. It has been a known fact for years that models are sold at a much more reasonable price than is customary at the opening of a season by this firm and an early selection is advisable. An expert milliner is engaged who can make up any design of hat at shortest notice if not found in stock, for which a very large selection of straw plaits are on show. Children’s millinery is made a speciality by this firm.* A Preston man, who, according to the verdict of a coroner’s jury was drowned in the river Ribble, has returned to town to find his wife married to another man. In February last the body of a man was found floating in the river. From certain marks on the arm a woman identified the body as that of her husband’s, whom she had not seen for nine years. After the inquest the coroner granted the necessary certificates and the woman drew the insurance money. Since then she has married again and was living happily until last week, when her husband suddenly returned. It appears that he has been living in Wales and has not been in Preston for a considerable period. Much sympathy is expressed for the woman in her unfortunate position. When the original husband returned, the second “ husband ” left her. “ We have been so happy together, and I hope he comes back to me,” she declared tearfully.
