the present trick girl seats herself upon chair
in the center of the stage Underneath the
chair newspaper has been spread, and screen
surrounds the chair three sides. A large
silk sheet is then put over the figure of the girl.
1t is easy TO see that she disappears at once,
though the conjurer occasionally lifts the cover

doublet and 'tiehts"-and thus prove that she
has not gone. But the legs are clearly dummies
and the suspension of the silk covering clearly
mechanical. The figure does disappear, that is
clear, and the trick is a remarkably clever one.

"STRAIGHT GOODS. F."

If THE WHEN had not been of some bene-
fit to mankind. how could it have founded the
immense business that it has since 1870
EIGHTEEN STORES in different parts of the
country? It isn't because THE WHEN is
smarter than anybody else. 1t is simply be-
cause these eighteen establishments are not
mere retail clothing stores, like others, but
are Delivery Depots for our big Eastern
Factory. So when you buy of THE WHEN
here, you are doing exactly what OTHER
RETAIL CLOTHING DEALERS do when
they go East to lay in a stock of goods. That
is, you are buying of the factory. You buy
of other retail Dealers and you are paying
them an additional profit to go East and buy
the goods for you from the factory. You buy
of THE WHEN and you do your own ''going
East" right here at home and save one profit.
