Surely crime never dl more dlstardly and

One OF the most intrinsically valuable and
most interesting of all the places ravaged was
The chateau of Arccuil, which has been plum
dcrcd and its valuable contents wantunly de-

IMPROVED
Lock Stitch Sewing Machines

Are wOrd-rcnuwIcd for durability and SIM
plicity of machinery, the perfection Of the ten
sions, and the unparalleled wide range Of work
they are capable of performing without change
or readjustmcnt
At the grcnt "ExpnSition Unverselle' in Pa
ris, in 1867, they were awarded the highest prize
"a massive Gold Medal-over 81 competitors,
and the Grand Cross of the Legion of Honor was
conferred on Elias Howe rs the original inventor
of the Sewing Machine
The growing appreciation Of their character
stic excellence by the intelligent people Of this
country was clearly shown by the unprccedent-
Cd ssles of the Howe Sewing Machine during the
past year, being fir in excess Of those Of any
other one patent.
More than 1000 Of these excellent machines
arc in daily use in the cities Of Washington and
Georgetown, and of this worry large number n
single case of dissatisfaction cannot be found.
They make the "IIowr," or Lock -Stitch,"
which has the same beautiful appearance on
either side Of the fabric scwcG, and they arc the
only machines that make this beautiful stitch to
perfection.
A branch office has been recently established
favor Of any particular machine, at least exam
inc the Howe before you purchase. Remember
that Mr. Howe was the original Inventor of the
Sewing Machine, and gave twenty years Of his
life to pcrlccting this machine.
Every Howe Machine is warranted for ten
years constant Use by the company, and is kept
always in perfect order By the local agency.
Purchasers aro thoroughly instructed 1T their
residences, by competent instructrcsscs, in every
variety of plain and ornamental sewing.
