not have "A fewof the old aingy dust grimmed

full and dainty frames can now be made

moulding manufacture has progressed wo,i-
derfully in recent years and among the va
rietv of late styles that may be seen at
Quinibys art rooms-the largest assortment
ever carried in the kennebec Valley-are
beautiful mouldings which can be made up
at wonderfully low prices and at the same
time make handsome and stylish frames.
Don't 70 eise~ here to have pictures framed
until you his mouldings and get his
prices. Perhaps You think of having new
frame for a family portrait. The tiashy frame
that you bought from glib-tongued agent.
and thought was such splendid bargain,
has begun to show its real quality. Its
joints are sprung, it looks old and warped
and dingy, and you feel that it was poor
economy ever to have invested in such
fraud. At Quimby's art rooms the
same amount of money will buy you
beautiful portrait frame that will not fade,
or warp, or spring at the joints or grow
dingy with wear. They are stylish and in
good taste, and if you take your portrait
out of its old frame and place it in one of
these you will add much to the attractive
ness of your home and never have
cause to regret your action. Those who re-
side outside the city should hunt up these
art rooms. Don't think that because you
desire a moderate priced frame you cannot
find it there. Mr.. Quimby has very wide
range of mouidlngs at varying prices and
can give you tasty frame at any figure you
feel able to pay.

"Why don't you take them to her now?
Did she choose another in your stead?
And the florists voice was sympathetic.
"Oh, no; / married her a year ago."
The florist waited a moment as if
thinking.
"And don't you love her now?" he
asked cautiously, as if treading on thin
