Plainfolks, while they were waiting for
the crowd TO thin outa little. So it Is
beyond our space to record the purchas-
es that girl made. In the line Of dress
goods and ladies furnishings alone her
orders would suffice to stock modest
store room; but then who can resist the
prices that rule for one and all at Rus
sells.
"And now, Uncle said Meg, rather
insinuatingly, 81 have got ever so many
things that want, but | don't know
what good spring dresses will do me
unless have hat and bonnet to match
Her uncle took the hint, and in few
minutes was introducing her to Miss
ID. L. Dix, who has firmly established
herself as leader. Very considerably
the gentlemen left Meg reveling in the
realms of bliss over one of of the most
elegant stocks of millinery in the west,
and if ever a feminine soul was delight
ed and satisfied in the possession of a
bewitching array of b0nnets and hats
for all purposes, hers was straight way.
There's no telling what she didn't buy.
Superb laces, embroidery, silks, hand
kerchiefs, ruchings, chinilles, arasenes,
fancy bangles, tassicS, fringes, gloves,
cOrsets, bustles, and all manner of fancy
yarns. We leave it to the feminine i'm
agination as to what smart woman
with unlimited means would buy.
The gentlemen had failed to become
interested in flounces and gcwgaws,
and on the suggestion of Plainfolks
started upon stroll about town. They
happened into the pOstoiiice, where
Charles insisted upon buying some of
those finely favored La Industrial CT
gars, from among Mr.. Templeman's
choice assortment. Plainfolks, ever
mindful of Meg, purchased some fine
candies for her. and rumaging through
the news stand found fine magazine
which he ordered to Megs address for
year. When leaving the place the old
gentleman remarked that he had not
seen such fresh, clean stock since he
left Vermont.
1--WE might indulge in a little person
al decoration, you and !" suggested
Plainfolks, putting away at his fragrant
Havana, "yOu need an outfit for sun
day-go to-meetm': you want a dress
suit and there's really but one artistic
taller in tCWa. Come with me to John
IntveenS." Here Charles was pleased
TO find that he could make selections of
full dress suits from as fine a stock of
Suiting as could be found in the eastern
shops, and was soon convinced that
Mr.. Intveen was master of his art as a
cutter. He la5t no time il leaving his
measure and order.
"One of the most important auxilliar-
les to happy household" remarked
the old gentleman in a philosophical
mood 1ftnr thn flprn on hnl nl
Meg and the trio Was again GA route,
lis q well supplied larder, There's
bliss in good housekeeping, my dear
and you want to make II "a point never
to buy poor groceries and provisions
Now recommend that you select one
grocery establishment, and stick to it.
of Frank Gleason, the 'Uld STANDARD
One Price Grocery You'll always llnd
it full stocked with every possible
thing in the line of staple and fancy
stocGrieS, fresh and first class no shelf
worn goods tllcro-and Ia prices they
are way down to brass tacks. You see
they are careful dealers, never make
bad debts, you know, and can afford
closer profits. Try them and you'll be-
satisfied" The neWds did try and are
permanent Cllbtullitfs,
Now, across the street." said the old
man, rs they came out of the meat
market, lis the harness establishment
of the boss horse milliner of this
country, ID. +. Soar. lie is a master
workman himself, and employs none
but the most expert workmen: his stock
is big and complete, and | know he
can't be uIdarSod." \ double set of
draft harness, q beautiful light buggy
harness and side saddle for Meg were
among the purchases here, and the or
dor also included tIy-nets, whips, dust
robes, and a full QUILTING such as a
gentleman hOrSC-OWncr would require.
Before entering the carriage again
the old man CSpicd John OTIS shoe
shop sign. IluStling his niece into the
establishment, where in spite of her
prOtestatiOnS that she didn't need any
thing in that line, she was soon
leaving an order for a new pair of walk
ing boots, aud urgently insisting that
this was the place Of all of others where
she would expect to see her husband
manifest equal wisdom by leaving his
measure for foot gear. Charles was
similarly inclined. and Otis shop will
keep the DeWdS in boots and shoes.
While Charles was leaving his meas
ure Meg took = survey of the store.
What lovely Slippersr' she suddenly
calculated. Yes, said Plainfolks, "Ott's
boot and shoe stock can't be beat any
where for style or quality; look it over
1t might have been policy not to have
extended the invitation, for before that
girl had left the store an order cover
ing the range of everything in the line
of foot wear from lovely satin slipper
to superb walking boot, had fallen
from her lips. No woman-or man
either for that matter-can resist the
styles and prices at Otis.
"IIeiio," suddenly said Charles, there
goes Shaver buggy. | declare must
have one-didn't know you get them out
here"
Get emf snorted PlainfOlks. 81
can show you, young man, an establish
ment in the implement and vehicle line
thatll astonish you. DOwn to &, II
Cross driver" And sure enough
Charles was astonished at the extent
and cOmprehensiveness of the stock
and more than that before he left, he
had purchased, not only a Studebakel
wagon for farm work, but a phaetOn
for Meg, Il light road wagon, and full
line Of farm implements, including a
Union planter, Norwegian plow and
cultiyator, Buckeye mower and binder,
Upton threSher, Reindeer hayrake
Norwegian harrow, keystone loader

lot Of DEre Manila binders Irvine. and
| a supply of superior machine oil
"Now, Mr.. Driver" said uncle Plain,

When the trio was again together
and while railing little ut Meg about
the extent of her wants, Plainfolks
suddenly made dive into a handsome
store room.
Heres VIII Cloughly, he exclaimed
