partment.
DR.. Jay w. Seaver recently returned
from a meeting of the directors of the
Chautauqua school of physical culture,
held in Brooklyn. The courses to be offer
ed next year at Chautauqua were decided
upon and many members of the faculty
were engaged. Several Yale men will be
there next summer, and among them Stage
and Williams 81. Chautauqua is largely
attended by Yale men and has often been
called an adjunct of Yale, greatly to the
chagrin of Bishop Vincent who aims to
make it representative of all the principal
colleges in the country. DIR. Seaver will
have charge of the theory department, and
DR.. Anderson of Brooklyn of the practise
department. Swedish gymnastics, which
has been very popular there, viii
be under the charge of Pro
fessor Bolin, graduate of tn
Royal Central institute of Stockholm. DR.
Mckenzie of Toronto will have charge o
an enlarged department of corrective gym
nastics. On the whole, the school of phys
ica1 culture will be one of the stronges
departments of the Chautauqua system
and will, no doubt, attract many Val
men to spend their long vacation at tn
delightful summer school on the banks o

Harmony division No. B., Sons of Tenn
perance, is fitting up the st. George hall in
the Insurance building with a view to
making it their headquarters. The re-
modelling of the Atheneum building makes
change necessary, and the division being
one of the wealthiest in the state they pro-
pose to fit up their new home in manner
that shall be credit to the city. In
speaking of the matter yesterday Trustee
D. s.. Thomas said: "Our division has never
been satisfied with the shabby surround
ings in Grand Army hall. The member
ship is composed largely of ladies promi-
nent in temperance work and who in their
own homes are not familiar with ragged
carpets, dilapidated furniture and dirty
windows. Then again we thought to take
advantage of the new elevator in the In
surance building, which hereafter is to
run until II O'Clock. The trustees will
spend about 1000 in fitting up, and ex-
pect to be in their new home in two
weeks"
Harmony division will occupy the hall
every Thursday evening, while the other
evenings in the week it can be used by
other parties if desired.

THIRD DAY
OF THE
HOUSEKEEPERS' HARVEST

Modern merchandising con-
graduates you housekeepers-
and itself.
You on the appreciation of
its efforts in your service. It
self upon the completeness of
the means of these efforts.
The sale history of 'o2 has a
page in it reserved for the
"Housekeepers' Harvest.
Even with only three days
of harvesting gone the bargain
crop promises to be richer and
heavier than previous years
ever garnered.
There are solid reasons for
such expectations
Former years, even at their
best, have failed to pair QUAIL
ITY and ECONOMY so success
fully. There is no comparison
with past seasons can be none.
If you are young at buying
ask some shrewd one. The sale
books could speak for them.
| The table linen values alone
would be enough to ensure the
success of any sale. Look them
over again, and confess it.
| Take that. 25c cream dam
ask, the least priced of then
all. Linen experience ha'
rated the quality at an homes
thirty cents. The estimate i
a modest one--modest even Il
your linen judgment.
And so on right up to tn
very finest. Not mere paper
figures or paper talk. The tall
is in its generous quality, it
substance, its honest excellen
cy of every single thread.
Your linen chest-any wis
housekeeper's-will be, MUS
/ be, added to when there's t
, be such a linen profit in it.
