kie, general manager of the Imperial
Bank OF Canada, contributes as inter
esting discussion as any that has been
published perhaps on the subject Of
banking systems. MIR. e. L. Godlzin

immortality" and on the other hand Col.
Carroll ID. Wright, chief OF the Bureau
of Labor Statistics, prints the results of
his investigations, which show that fac

ssLa Mode de Paris" and "Album DIES
Modes" appear to be growing just a lit
tie too popular. The demand for them
is growing SO rapidly that the publish
ers, A. Mcdowell & Co., west 18th
street, New York, have found it diff
cult to keep up with the increasing de-
mand each month. They claim that
the American ladies are now buying
their journals to such an extent that
most of the newsdealers are entirely out
of them by the fifth OF the month. We
agree with our lady friends that these
are superior fashion journals. We sug'
gest to them to become regular subscri
bers, thus making sure of receiving
their journal each month, and securing
that valuable book, "Dressmaking Sim
plifed," that is given as premium te
each subscriber paying $3.50 in advance
for either STA Mode de Paris or Gal
bum des Modes" for one year. Yot
