SATURDAY SALAD.

a La - fplN ~ '-'it''''S'
This is the season OF the year that the
economical woman gazes into the future
with steadiast eye Others, being OF a
frivolous tnrn OF mind, may think only Of
the present, or, perhaps, the coming spring
time. but the economical woman allows
her mind wild flight to the far of au-
tumn.
Do you fancy that she Is trying to turn
to where she will find fms written in the
book Of life? Or, that she is anxious to
know what the future holds for her
whether she will draw anything in the
Louisiana Lottery or not? No, but she
is buried 10 the folds OF a newspaper while
she reads, with bated breath, Of the won
deriul bargains offered by Blank e Co.
Blank & Co. are offering wonderful
inducements to the female portion OF the
world; inducements so made that they
may make room for "the large spring
stock about to be received"
So the woman who is wise in her gener'
alton puts the alarm clock at the head OF
the bed, so that she may arise while it is
ct early dawn and join the pushing, i'll
natured crowd at Blank Il Cos.
Now. Blank d Co. rival Joey Bagst0ck
in slyness, and knowing the drove OF
bargain hunters that will come IN upon
them, have filed the counters with goods
left over from years agone. But these are
suatched up by the bargain hunters-they
will take the most impossible tblngs-ar-
tices for which they have 10 need, simply
because they are sold at bargain"
Yet woman is wise to attend these
sales, for she often becomes the possessOr
of numerous articles of wearing apparel
that will answer nicely for another sea
son, at greatly reduced prices.
This is a season OF bows, ribbon bows,
and they are fastened on all parts of the
gown. The same volcanic eruption OF
ribbons that covered the earth few years
ago has only been emoldering among Its
ashes and has again burst forth with
renewed force.
Every well dressed woman bands hei
hair With strips OF ribbon, and tastens q

beauty of her ear.
At public gathering the other night
noticed that every self-respectlng maiden
if the house had her hair done in q low
coil. encased in an old fashioned net and
with a tiny bow on the left side. One is
able to get good view OF pretty co tiures
now that the dear girls have taken unto
themselves the fad of removing their hats
at the theater.
1t is certainly fad in which they are

OF which have often quite lost their TEN

In her daintiy goved hand she held {
silver bon bon box which Iinn0cently sup
posed contained the sweets she did most
crave. Presently, the maiden opened hei
bon bon box and drew out-Can you be

piled vigorously to her nose.
1t is noticed that, although many cut

train still disports itself UPON al
fashionable gowns even the younger

her evening gown upon the ground.
For street wear the skirts are only {
trihe shorter, and at present there seem:

boon to the economical woman as it re
quires very little material, and is pretty
and graceful when properly made.
! If you possess Clotn gown you may
congratulate yourself upon having somt
thing suitable for wear at all times At &
recent evening reception it was really sur
prising to see how cloth had taken the
place OF silk; but the only trimming upor
these exquisltely fitting gowns was banc
of fur.
Very large buttons are much worn, ant
they are really beautiful and odd in de
sign.
The latest pins that moor the dainty
bits of cloth and velvet to the heads o
fair women, are work Of art. One recent
