|Women's Improved
Combination Suits.

In women's dress the tapping
of undershirts and drawers causes
bulky appearance about the
waist. This led to the making OF
the first combination suit button
ing down the front. The idea was
approved by women, but the but
tons were in the way and were
found uncomfortable when corsets
were worn.
Now comes an ideal garment,
the improved Florence combina-
ton or union suit. The special
feature is the buttoning across the
bust. This keeps the buttons from
contact with the corset. Natural
gray color and perfectly sized SO
as to fit any woman. Price ST so.

What wretched things some OF
these white shirts with colored
bosoms really are! 1t seems as
if some makers in their greed are
trying to rum the popularity OF a
pleasing fashion. They are doing
it by the most haphazard work,in

ly in the attractiveness of the pat
tern in the fancy bosom to sell the
article
While our fancy bosom shirts
are second to none in attractive

DEBT TO DOLLY MADISON.
Saved the Declaration of fIndependencc
From Falling Into British Hands.

The capture, invasion and burning Of
our National Capital by British forces
under Admiral Cockburn are graphically
recalled by Clifford Howard in the July
Ladies' Home journal in it's notable
"uroat Personal Events" series MIR.
Howard lucidly tells of the incidents
leading up TO the invasion, and pictures
the terror and excitement of the people of
Washington, who fled shouting, scream
ing, jostling one another under foot, into
Virginia as the enemy approached. Presi-
dent Madison had gone to the 'front.' and
his wifo was anxiously awaiting his re-
turn in fear for his safety. The White
House attaches had nearly all deserted
their posts, hut Mrs. Madison had packed
all her husbands papers and records, and
as she was about to abandon the house,
bethought herself OF General WashinRton's
portrait. The heavy frame Enclosing it
was broken by a servant with an axe. and
she removed the canvas with her own
hands, keeping it from falling into the
hands Of the enemy.
"It was then, writes Mr.. Howard,
"iust as she was In the act Of hurrying
away. that Dolly Madison was seized with
an inspiration that Will ever cause her
name to live I'm the heart of every true
American. She stopped 10 think. What II

half century occupied position OF command
ing prominence in the sporting goods field,

bicycle "The Celebrated Lowell Diamond =

the result of his labors in this field;
Upon the opening OF the present season a

needed they could not be easily obtained.
Regular dealers were appealed TO- and while
extra parts could, in some cases, be obtained,
long delays cnsued, and the expense in sup.
plying repairs created widespread dissatistac'
tion.
Colonel Lowell realized that crisis had
been reached in the cycle business, because
not only did the public suffer from being de-
ceiyed, nut cycle dealers noticed n remarkable
falling off in sal, = of stamford makes, which
indicated that the cycle business was begin
ming o pass from the hands OF reliable manu-
faciurers whose name-plate on "a wheel was a
fficiont guarantee of its merit, in any part
OF the world. Colonel Lowell il man who
does not wait until an opportunity has passed
He took the bull by the horns" In a few

called he "big four combination, composed
