"To look well you must be well
dressed" Shakespeare hit the nail OH
the head when he advised the young
man to wear as good clothes as his
purse would permit. Good clothes are
one of the principal adjuncts that
polite society requires, and if you gain
entrance there we would advise you
to have Corrin make your clothes. He
is an artist in his line and has all the
correct ideas as to what is the latest
style. Call and see HIM, second door

the British government to the cOmmHs-
sion on account of Canadian vessels seized

est, Sl,5On,OO0. These included, under
the claims uraty, several cases not EN-
braced in the settlement proposed by SeCrc-
tray Gresham. The award now made
