A Dress Goods Argument

AMI SOME FKICES.
Plain fabrics-coverts, Venetians.
poplins, whipcords, and the like,
are in great demand this year by
women of fine taste. But plain
goods call for a care in the buying.
Be sure, first of all, of the quality
therein lies the beauty. VERY
low priced dress goods have their
uses, but avoid them in plain
weaves. This group will give safe
and good selection
Plain color Poplins, 81 to SI.75
Mixed color POplins, ST. 25 to SI.5O
Covert Cloths, 81 to S1.75
Whipcord COvertS, 81. .25 to S1.75
There will be need for dresses of
rather rougher weave, for outing at
least; many will choose them for
all wear. So here are the Cheviots
and Serges. 75c to $1.75, and
fancy weaves from 371Ac.
BLACK G00DS-High in favor.

PHILADELPHIA IN 1774,

She Was Our Greatest City In Thoss
Days.
IN l774 Philadelphia was the largest
town in the American colonies. Esti-
mates of the population, which are all
we have, differ widely, but it was
probably not far from 10000, says
Scribner's. A single city now has a
larger population than all the colonies
possessed in 1774, and there are in the
united States today 1O4 cities and
towns OF over 10000 inhabitants. Fig
ures alone, however, cannot express
the dlHerence between those days and
our own.
Now town of 10000 people is reach
ed by railroads and telegraphs. 1t is
IN close touch with all the rest of the
world. Business brings strangers to
IL constantly, who come like shadows
and SO depart, unnoticed, except by
tnose With whom they are Immediate
~ concerned. It was not so in 1774,
not even in Philadelphia, which was
as nearly as possible the central point
OF the colonies as we'll as the most
populous city. Thanks to the energy
and genius of Franklin, Philadelphia
was paved, lighted and ordered in a
way almost unknown in any other
town Of that period. It was we'll built
and thriving. Business was active
and the people were thrifty and pros
porous, and lived we'll.
Yet, despite all these good qualities
we must make an effort of the magma
t1on to realize how quietly and slowly
life moved then in comparison to the
pace of today. There in Philadelphia
was the center OF the postal system of
the continent, and the recently estab-
lished mail coach called the "Flying
Machine" not in jest, but in praise,
performed the journey to New York
in the hitherto unequaled time of two
days. Another mail at longer inter-
walls crept more slowly to the south.
Vessels of the coastwise traffic, or from
beyond seas, came into port at uncer-
tain times, and after long and still
more uncertain voyages. The daily
round OF life was so regular and SO
quiet that any incident or novelty drew
interest and attention in way which
would now be impossible.
