and the other bought a dress on purpose
TO trim within And both boosted and still
boast Of their thrift and management"
Both OF them Near themselves, their
clothes ard their boots out with walking
aimlessly about, their eyes absolutely pro
truding for bargains. They give up whole
days to shopping, lunching down town,
and coming home Frustrated at night, but
triumphant, as in their hands they clutch
the precious bargains. What good do they
do them? And is shopping an end and not

BosToN, July IS The weather during
the past week has been very favorable for
harvesting hay but has been generally
too hot and dry for most crops
The temperature was very low during
the nights of the first part of :he week.
but since then has been above the norma
both night and day. There has been plenty
of sunshine, and advantage has been
taken of it to secure the bulk Of the Eng
lish hay crop in most excellent condition.
Considerable rye has been gathered and Il
few fields o. oats cut. Pastures are dry
ing up in the south. and newly NOM
fields are burning badly.
On wet land corn has made a fine
growth, and is looking as well as need be;
but on dry land it is curling badly, and
will soon be injured To considerable eX-
tent, especially in the south Potatoes
need rain very much except i'll the eX
IRENE northern portions.
While apples will undoubtedly be II
light crop Ill the southern districts, in the
northern they show much better and Il
good crop is in prospect. Blackberries and
blueberries are nov promising good
crop except where the former are being
dried up by the want of rain.
Cranberries are setting slowly on OLD

they are looking fairly well. Garden
