Entertaining soldiers and Sailors.

The National Temperance Home was
last night the scene OF as gay and merry an
entertainment, both literary and musical,
as 1t is the lot of this city often to witness.

the soldiers and sailors of the city, from
the different military reservations or posts.

only a very few people
fully realize how delight
" fully pleasant a house
may be made by the use
of a few summer fxings, not
the least important OF which
are light and airy draperies,
wire window screens, light
window shades, loose COW
ers, canopies and mosquito
netting.
We are reaping the bene-
fit of our well-directed eff
forts, for we have been I'M
usually successful this season
with loose covers, screens
and shades, and the season
has hardly begun.
Loose covers. We began
by improving the linen. I'M
ported a finer quality and
one that has no wrong side,
thus making it cut to better
advantage.
Our Furniture Linens are
smooth.fnished and can be
used over the finest and
most delicate fabrics with
out fear Of injury. No one
can furnish and make loose
covers for less than our
prices.
We have man ready to send to your
house, measure your furniture whether It be
one piece or fifty suites), and give you an
estimate OF the cost. II you would rather
sew your own covers we will cut them out
for you. If you would rather cut and make
your own covers we will sell you 33.inch Fur.
niture Linens at s5c. per yard, and 66.inch for
zoe. per yard.
WINDOW SHADES.-There Is nothing more
yexatious In the appointments of a room
than an ill'fitting and poorly-constructe
window Shade. Our Window Shades are
made In our factory on the fifth floor. We
use the "Hartshorn Patent Shade Clasps"
and the Hartshorn Patent Spring Roller,
which produce better shade than any other,
We will guarantee them TO run lightly, freely
and straight. We take measures and furnish
estimates free of charge, and II our prices are
not the least we do not expect to receive
your order.
We have no mill made shades. as we mann.
f3 cents.
WINDOW SCREENS. We have sold hun
dreds and hundreds of the csc. Window
Screens without a word being received OF
their being unsatisfactory. We have dozens
of other prices. The latest Is a Screen that
adjusts Itself to the window by means of
spring at the sides, which gives an unob-
structed view. We are bearing down the
greatest on Screens to order, believing that In
these we can give you the best satisfaction.
We use the best wire and hard wood, and
guarantee participating Screen. The same
with Wire Screen Doors. II you expect to
have Window Screens and Screen Doors put
In let us give you an estimate, as we make
no charge for It.
CANoPIEs.. There are various kinds of
Canopies, both good and bad. We will have
nothing to DO with poor Canopies. Ours are
bent IN slightly and convenient shape, and
the skirts are woven in one piece, thus having
no seams. They are otherwise properly made
and finished with adjustable plilleys. A can.
