 It will be remembered that lace robes sold last spring at very low prices. From that fact it might have been in- ferred that such extravagant garments were going out of fashion, but a peep into the lace departments of the fash ionable shops shows clouds and pillows of these same robes. If you went in for one of the bargain ones last season you are likely to realize now the differ ence between it's dingy crumpledness and the crisp yet gossamer quality of the new robes.

Sometimes these answers result in un-

tors and passengers, but usually our

along the adjustment without undue
friction. In parts of Europe they have
a way OF fixing this matter so that no

Instead of going by a child's age. as
to what rate of fare II shall pay. they
go by size. The collector Is provided
with a 5-foot rule. and he rates the
children by this. Any child under "a
inches in height travels free, while
those between "a inches and 81 inches
pay half fare. All who Measure more
than 4 feet 8 inches pay full fare.

Much Attention for Bryan.

Jacksonville, Fla, July 2s.-A
rousing reception was rendered to
Colonel William J.. Bryan of the
Third Nebraska regiment, at Wind
sor hotel this evening. The band of
of the regiment was selected to give
one of the weekly concerts at the
hotel, and, this being its first ap-
pearance in public, nearly the entire
Nebraska regiment took advantage
of the occasion to come to the city
q special train being chartered.
General Fitzhugh Lee showed Bry-
an much attention, and detailed
Major Russell B. Harrison to the
special duty of looking after him.
The officers of most of the regiments
in camp were present, and, after tbs
concert, an informal reception wa
held. There we're many calls for ;
speech but Colonel Bryan did no
respond.
