PEOPLE often hear of "sizes" in
clothes, hat, etc, but few know ex-
actly what is meant by the word

in underwear it is two inches; in a
sock, one inch; in a collar, one-half
of an inch; in shirt, one-half inch;
in shoes, one.sixth Of an inch; in
pants, one inch; in gloves, one quar-
ter inch, and in hats, one-eighth of
an inch.

GoDEY's LADY's Book for April
is better than ever. 1t contains a valu-
able assortment of reading for wo-
men in every station of life, calcu-
lated not only to interest them, but
to make them more useful, helpful
and happy, For those whose ambi-
tion leads them in the direction Of
business, there are two very valuable
articles, one by Mrs. Croly, the other
by Catherine Cole. There is no
mere theorizing in these, but lively
accounts Of how certain determined
women have attained conspicuous
success. The continued stories
maintain renewed interest.
THE Harmonic Quartette held
forth at the City Hall last night,
and we believe the expectations of
all who attended were fully realized.
Prof. Yuille, of Chicago, has an
enchanting, well cultivated tenor
voice; Miss Olive Monaban, soprano,
possesses a sweet, mellow, yet sufii-
ciently strong voice, and has the
same under good control. The
contralto, Miss Retta Monahan, had
her full share of admirers, many
extending her the preference. Last,
but not least, is Prof. S. I. Osborne,
who is two well known here to need
any comment. lie is a star in any
quartette. The concert was equal
to any given in this city for years.
WE hear ladies asking every little
while some of the following ques-
tions: "Where can I get the latest
ideas about Furnishings" "Have
you seen anything new in decora-
tion?" "Where can | get studies
and information for decorative paint
ing?" "Where can l get the latest
points about housekeeping, such as
its economies, its etiquette, cooking,
etc. ?" "Where can | find out what
women are doing?" "Where find
the best advice on all subjects inter
esting in the family, such as health,
amusement, instruction, etc?
Perhaps you do not know that
these and every subject Of interest
in the family circle are all combined
in one publication, furnishing a
Magazine worth many times its sub
s cription price. The April number
Of this wonderful Magazine Dem
orest's Monthly is just at hand.
BE sure and see it. Published by
