The outlook financially for tho worlds
fair is not so encouraging as it was expected
to be at this time. The paid attendance for
the month of June was s., 400 900, or a
daily average OF $50, coo. According to
official statements issued, the receipts Of the
second months operation OF the fair, whilo
admittedly good are not satisfactory. The
management hoped to pay all expenses and
lquidate soma Of their outstanding debts
by this time. The running expenses of the
fair have been met, but not much has been
loft over to apply against the debts incurred
during May and ths standing debt of So,
500, 600 still hanging over the gigantic en-
terprss. Tho present daily running ex-
penses are, in round fgures, $50, 0O0 BUTT is
hoped by the management TO lower them
uoon to about Sl3, coo daily.

pear. The Minneapolis bank officials have
become convinced of this, and they are de-

spreading evil reports Of the condition of
city banks. One suit against sanderer has
already been instituted, and moro suits are
to follow. This remedy might well be adopt

She had tiny waist Then came the

Neck, shoulders aud waist were forgiv-

outline rom the hips down. Now q
woman hust have good neck and should

ways be somewhat helped out because,
though suggested clearly, they were
covered, but the neck, shoulders
and back are to be uncovered.
The berthas, revers aud ruties
that fall below the round OF the shout
ders hide the rest OF the form, even
mask the waist. The stand-out skirt
makes the waist feel all right IL 1t does
happen to be noticed, and allows no dis
traction of attention from the shoulders
to the outlines below the waist. very Few
women can rejoice over these facts, and
those, by the way, are older than the

Of beauty. 1t is only fair, but 1t Is hard
