Ir is little singular, to say the least
of it, that girls are contented with low
crowned hats when they are at the sea-
side, while nothing but the highest
crowned ones will suit at the theater.-

NO LET Up

To sing OF Gentle Spring"
For unpoetic people say
He's oveTdoue the thing.
But he il not put out bit:
He revels still in ryhme,
And dresses up his lines to fit
The golden summer time.

Whenever he's inspired to sing
The Tyre he's bound to strike.

THE COLLEGE BELLE.
She a college widow,
And verdant reen
Who thought her quite the fairest fay
T. er mortal man has seen.
For four years lugged her round
To every ball and show;

OF happiness below.

Perhaps ia quite a5 we'll,
For though Tin getting old and gray,

building OF remodeiing his home can
save money and obtain practical and
thoroughly correct study for every item

ensemble and thrown it in the back
yard, and were now worrying along
without tout in the house? II YOU
are harboring any such ideas you are
wrong, as we have decided not to re-
model or make any changes in our ele-
giant and artistic home. We have re-
Gently put a handsome second mort
gage on it, which is in perfect harmony
OF color, style, and design with the first
one, and that ought to be Improvement
enough for one summer. SO we can
not patronize your toni ensemble de-
partment. We recently took number
of tirst-class ensembles on subscription
and can safely say that we are we'll
heeled on touts. We might add that
we rather have the cincha on the tout
ensemble business in this section of the
country, or, as you would probably put
it, the dead-open-and- shut. -.Estelline
