WHAT sort of an intervcnt ion of Proyi-
dence was 1t that brought eleven-yea old
Michael Burke exactly beneath seventy
year-old George Hafner, as the latter came
down through the air from the top of a

life of the old man was saved by striking
the boy, but II is feared that the lad will

Belfast is the centre of the
world for Linen Handkerchiets.
Fifteen years ago not a cotton
or a cotton-and.linen Handker-
chief was made in Belfast !;
now more than half that are
sent out from that city are
either cotton or cotton mixed.
Cotton has crept into some
of the very fine things, but you
don't suspect it until the wear
and wash test shows the cheat.
For the person Of taste who
wants a snow-white lIandker-
chief, soft and silky, one that
will not wash fuzzy or turn yel-
low with use-LzRen.
We began by selling nothing
but Linen as Linen. We keep
to it. The food of union
goods has never reached our
counters.
This year our importation of
pure Linen goods has been
larger and more varied than
ever before. All sorts. To
day we have space to hold up
but one thing--Men's Plain
White lIandkerchiefs.
We took a big lot of them.
Exactly the quality, style and
size that has been pronounced
from Paris and London to St.
Petersburg Just the right thing
for a weIl-dressed man. French
size--not too big; and French
hcm-onc-half inch.
They are put up dozen and
half dozen in a boX-intcnded
for the holiday trade. But we
crowd them ahead of the sea
son and you save IS to 55 per
cent by it.

Mr.. G. p. HuNrINeroN rescnts the
newspaper talk about his daughters re-
ported but denied engagement 10 Prince
Hatafeldt, but at the same time he talks
about the matter In u way that suggests
anything but u wish to keep the public in
ignorance of his family affairs Being a
railroad king of the first class ho must
have known that his sayings were In dan
ger of print, especially rs they were full of
spicy and sarcastic comment ON titles and
modern honor. Here Is the pith of IL:
"Tbe young gentleman has been lavish
enough with attentions, nor is there very
much reason to doubt the character of his
intentions, but il takes two people to make
bargain, sometimes three, and neither
my daughter nor myself have made up
our minds what to think of this Teutonc
nobleman. OF course We Americans are
rather disposed to turn up our noses at
people who travel about on the strength of
unearned titles. We like to know what Il
man has done or can do, not what his
father or great grandfather did for him.
My own family datos right back to the
Norman conquest, but that never troubles
me- If | can't get glory for what
! am myself will go without glory.
Now, don't mean to find any fault with
Mr.. llatztcldt for being Il prince. | have
met him and think him II very pleasant
young man, as young men go. They tell
me he has been extravagant and that he
has lost money on the turf, etc, hut pretty
much all young men do that sort of thing
nowadays. In my time il was different
We believed in the old-fashioned homely
virtues, in industry, economy and SO on /:
but according to the code of to-day Prince
Hatzfeldt is man OF honor and an accom-
plished gentleman" How delighted Mr.
Hatzfeldt will he to find that his title will
not count against him.

asked a friend yesterday, while
looking over the decorations
for the Dress Occasion. You
will notice that the flower dec
orations will droop somewhat
to-day. Which prompts us to
suggest that you look away
from the second floor to the
great display OF Art Flowers on
the first floor, east of Man 4isle
and norM of Transebk What
the latter may lack in fragrance
is made up in continuance
they don't fade and they are
awfully natural.
The display of Costumes,
second Roor, Chestnut street,
will continue to-day, as will the
Little Paris" show of things
from the Paris Exposition.
Critics find much to command
attention in this display. The
Cloisonne Vases are the OBJ
jects of much study and uni
versal admiration. The most
knowing are the greatest ad-
mirers.
1t is important for you to
know that the Pollock Dress
Fitting system is now where it
ought to be--in the Dress
making Department. A fitted
dress lining for 81. Thousands
were fitted last Spring with
universal success. You or
your own dressmaker can make
the dress after the waist is
fitted.

Two English noble men, who started out
northward from Lake Athabasca some six

and there is talk of send relief expedi-
