soul was delighted and satisfied In
the bewitching array of stylish
bonnets and hats, for all purposes,
hers was straight way.
"Smoke" had been suggested by
Charles, and this was the first op-
portunity. The fact was pretty
well known that Plainfolks was
escorting wedding party, 80 that
his significant winks were readily
understood by the acqua:ntances

and the crowd was soon luxuriat-

Meg was still engaged as they
returned to her.
'It's all right, though" quoth
Plainfolks. "It's all right. Well
indulge little in personal decora-

and very happily L can suit you as
well as though you was in a big
New York shop. We've really got
one artistic tailor in this town;

to find that he could make selec-
tions for a full dress suit from as
fine stock of suiting as could be
found in the eastern shops, and
was soon convinced that Mr..
Borneman was master of his art as
a cutter. He lost no time in leav

When they returned to Meg,
the observant old man noted that
her expressive face showed signs
of fatigue. Straightway he sug-
gested resort to some place of
retreshment, and announced that

his charges to Shoily's Bee Hive.
Here they regaled themselves on

in bit of philosophy, "One ofthe
most important auxiliaries to

rules the house, young lady, for,
as your table is, SO will your. hus-
bands temper be. So you want
to see to it that only the very best
groceries and provisions enter

Your best plan, therefore, is, find
an honest grocer, and when he is
found, never leave him. advise
you to deal with Sigler Bros.
You will always fud them full

IN the line of staple and fancy
groceries, fresh and first class no

the old man, ''it doseu't
