here represented made OF pale reseda
silk and decorated with multicolored
embroidered chiffon. The front is ar
ranged over fitted Innings provided
with single bust darts to which the
material is applied at square yoke
depth. The full front is joined to the
lower edge of yoke, the joining being
concealed by the pretty insertion that
forms q pompadour effect in front ex-
tending over the shoulders and on
either side of the back. Three bands
of similar insertion fall from yoke.
The skirt-shaped front, side cores and
full straight back is particularly
adapted to sheer fabrics. The foot
trimming consists of a narrow chiffon
edged frill with band OF insertion
above. The gown may be developed
in challis, crepons, taffetas, or cream

Webster and His Butcher.

Daniel Webster was once sued by
his meat man. The man did not call
upon Webster afterward to trade with
him. Webster met him in the course
OF few days, and asked him why he
didn't call. "Because," said the man.

and wouldn't trade with me any more"
to which Webster replied, ooh, sue

RIGA. It is the intention of the ancient
tenor to give concerts, and If his voice
holds out he will go on to Australia.
One reason why Reeves has preserved
his voice to such an advanced age is
that he has invariably refused to sing
when his throat was relaxed or in q
bad condition. and, oddly enough, his
throat has given him great deal OF
trouble all through his artistic career.

well to put in the time between

and studying instead of writing
and wrangling. The Bond and
Refund Acts are to be taken up in

About the best thing found in the

gestion for a compromise by "con-

is worth considering, perhaps
chiefly in behalf of harmony and as
a balm to the really substantial

believe that something should be

No. Io5 NEW PROCESS.


The advantage of the "NEW
PROCESS" Blue Flame Coal
Oil Stove over the gasoline
stove is the first cost of the ma
terial used. There is nearly
one dollars difference in cost in
favor of coal oil. A case of
gasoline no gallons will only
last two weeks, while an equal
quantity of coal oil used in the
NEW PROCESS will last a
month.
This estimate is made on the
basis of the stoves cooking
three meals a day, the dinner
to be comprised Of the full num-
Der of courses.
We have these stoves IN two
styles. The number "Io5' isas
per the above cut and consists
of three burners. This stove
is very convenient for a medium
sized family, having all the fix.
lures used on the larger stove.
In the above cut the oven is
shown in position for baking or
roasting.
When not in use for either
it can be conveniently pushed
back and the burner used for
other purposes. The weight OF
the "Io5" is only 1870 pounds
and costs complete S22.5o.
The No 100 stove is exactly
the same as the "Io5" except
that it has four burners instead
of three. The cost of the "Io6'
is S25 complete, The weight
S I4o pounds.
All the burners can be used
