A Maine Doctor Who Resembles
Malone.

DR.. d. E. Seymour of Calais, was In the
city yesterday. DR.. Seymour bears close
resemblance to General Malone, the ia
nous political leader of Virginia. and in
travelling through the South has frequent
ly been mistaken for the latter. Once on a
train in West Virginia, he passed through
a car where family were seated. The
father and mother nodded pleasantly to
him, while the small boy of the family
jumped down from the seat, swung his hat
and shouted. "Hurrah for Billy Malone"

You have only to COM
pare kinds to determine
beyond all question that a
lou priced yarn is sn0ars-
ably of a lou quality. To
buy cheap yarns because
they are cheap is saving
at the spiggot and vast
ing at the bung," and it
isn't wise to put all the
labor and time that's
necessary into making up
knitted things that are
sure to be unsatisfactory
in the wear and unsightly
in appearance, for the
trifing saving that's to
be gained by using yarns
of inferior quality and
dye.
The Columbia yarns
are the best in every aOaN
and the most economical
to buy for that reason.
They are more uniform
in texture, evener in
thread and are made in a
larger line of desirable
colors than any other
yarn in the market.

Will not reduce their fares to the larger

While this may have been remunerative to

Glimpses of early spring goods are al

The spring styles are not fully revealed to
the expectant world of women, but mys-
terious peeps are permitted to the watch
ers who await them each season as eagerly
and impatiently as the small boy watches
for the curtain to go up at the show.
The shop windows, as now seen, are but
the prelude to what is to come later-the
orchestra that announces that it is nearly
time for the real display of the season.

eat ravenously, averaging two pounds of
seal meat per day for every man. woman
and child. In addition to vast quantities of
other food.
Up to last year they took about 100. 900
skins year, and the United States treas

result Is that the government has received
from the Commercial company during the
last twenty years nearly as much as was

the newest slippers are in suede, which is
obtainable in purple, lavender, yellow,
pink, green, black and almost every other
hue if one will take the trouble to seek for
1t. The slippers are cut high around the
ankle and are finished with big buckle
OF gold or silver. Another style has a
single broad strap going over the instep.
Ties are the fashion rather than slippers.
The old low-cut styles are scarcely to be
found in stock.
Exquisite purple ties are found stitched
with lavender and laced with the same.
Green kid is combined with lavender and
with gray. Old gold shoes are stitched
with black; and gray kid is combined with
black patent leather. When the stitching
contrasts with the shoe the stockings are
IN harmony with the former. The fad Of
the present day is that women should be
beautifully dressed as to their feet whether
the rest of the toilet be elegant or plain.
Silk neckerchiefs, or small silk mufiiers
are worn inside the neck Of street jackets
and capes. These muffiers correspond in
color to the trimming on the hat and they
make q pretty finish to the neck. A yellow
kerchief nestled lovingly around the neck
of brunette attired in black. A blonde in
yellow brown wore a white muller to cor
respond with the white astrakan upon her
toque and jacket sleeves. Pink enwrapped

with pink roses in her hat; and purple
ornamented the neck of another maid who
wore violets in hat, muff and corsage.
For calling and carriage wear, the gloves in

mings, neckerchief and flowers.
It is a signed, sealed and settled fact that
the woman of fashion must sweep the
streets with her skirts. The Paris modistes
have signed their names to paragraphs en-
bodying this fashion. Our own dress
makers have sealed the decree by following
it to the letter and the woman of fashion
has put on the sweeping skirt and worn it
on the public thoroughfares-and that
settles it.

The male fur seal is a huge but SYM

their presumption for weeks without go-
