White Surah, combined with white satin
merrealear, and trimmed with white Span
ish lace, white satin bows, and Rhine-crys-
tai ornaments, makes tie handsomest OF all
white evening toilets.
Flowers OF the fall season, particularly
ox.eye daisies, small sunfiowers, golden
rod and yellow roses, will trim many of
the rough-and-ready straw hats and bon
nets for September aud October.
The most popular fatigue suit for fall
wear Is a box -pleated hunting jacket and
looped tunic, OF blue, dark green or maroon
flannel serge, drawn up high on the hips
over skirt Of lawn tennis striped suiting,
made plain as rule, but sometimes
trimmed with two-inch wide box pleated
ruche around the bottom. The collar,
cuffs, belt, and pocket pouch are Of the
striped stuff.

mense figure, and is by no means OF easy
comprehension. And yet that Is the num-

of this business as Maine industry Is in-
calculabe, its profits extending TO all clas-
ses of our people, though more especially
to those whose opportunities for gathering
a little ready cash is somewhat limited.
