were much disappointed by the non
appearance of a young lady who was to
give some select readings. The young
lady by mistake found her way into the
keokuk Wigwam at Sixth and Shipley

when the programme ran through and
she was not invited to read. The mis-
take was not discovered until this
morning. The Mattahoon's however
had an enjoyable programme.
Rev. Mr.. Potter and Rev. Mr.. Mallery
each made appropriate speeches and
the Olivet Church choir rendered some
excellent music. Mr.. j. 7. Crozier,
William Rawnsley and Elmer Moore
added to the pleasure Of the evening,
some by violin music and others with
vocal solos. The evening wound up
with ice cream and cake at WeaverS.

it would certainly

at a $3.50 suit and
going up to Sl4.
There are but few
so low or so high.
Almost everybody
buys between ex-

At S. the clothes
begin to be good ;.
and they grow bet
ter as the price
grows bigger. No
body need grumble
at what S. will buy;
and between S. and
$40, everything is
good enough. You
choose one rather
than another, be-
cause you like the
cloth or style bet"
ter; and the diver
sity is so great that
you may keep on
choosing as long as
you like. When
you come to the
higher prices you
find the finest OF
suitable cloths made
with. all the care
that is bestowed on
the finest tailoring.
