the future careers Of various individuals

sition Of the planets at the time Of their

ones that had escaped. So concluded
that the poison must be in the peach Or

Rsmodeiing New Hats.

be ouite business. To some people
this would seem to be an elegant way
of speaking Of tho finishing over, trim.
ming over, ETC., Of old or secondhand
hats. but such is not the case. The
great bulk Of hats that are ''remodei-
ed" are new ones, or, moro properly
sneaking, are unsold ones. They are
not of the up to date pattern and conse,
ouently are not salable. The shrowd
and businesslike retailer does NOT keep
them too long on the shelf He prefers to
turn them into money. and in order to do
this he sends them to remodeling shop,
where they undergo certain amount
Of manipulation and are placed back
again ON the shelves turned into tho
--latest style" or the --latest tile, JUST
as YOU prefer to have il. The owner OF
the hats fails to recognize them when
they are returned to him. but he Is glad
to welcome them. The trimmings have
been taken out, and the hats have been
blocked over on the latest blocks and
meet with ready sale The expense
attached to tho blocking over and TO
the trimming over is not great. Amer
