ing, Mr.. Holt sells such nice goods,
and so cheap, too"
After this visit, Uncle Josh sug-
gested resort to some place of re-
freshments. At the table the old man
waxed philosophical. Never neglect
your larder," said he. THAT import
ant adjunct to housekeeping controls
masculine temper. To that end you
must patroniZe a grocer on whom you
can depend for honest goods. Through
long term of dealing, ever since last
April when the firm started, have
found Wheat & Van Lear perfectly
reliable. You will find them careful
dealers, always fully stocked with
every possible thing in the line of sta
pie and fancy groceries. fresh and first
class, no self.wOrn goods there, while
the prices are down to brass tacks. 70
keep peace i'll the family get all your
groceries of Wheat & Van Lear.
While Uncle Josh was bordering
where to 60 next, Polly suddenly
asked, Uncle, where can l find the
leading millinery establishments"
Just one door further on, !" remarked
Uncle Josh, land we will visit The
Parlor Millinery. who, by the way, has
OIL hand one of the completest stocks
of millinery to be found in the city.
You can get what you want there, the
latest styles and lowest prices being
her motto. Mrs. CampbelPs expert

purchased of her you have the thing
according to fashion and satisfaction
that your work has been done by
competent artist. In a few hours
there never was happier girl than
Polly.
II would also like to make you &C
Quainted with DIR. Geo. A. Sprinkel,
IT,, my dentist friend, up here at No.
los West MAN," said the old man.
IF you ever have to supplement your
natural teeth" "Ugh Don't mention
false teeth to me, cried Polly. IN
never carry 'pearly lies in my mouth
if 60 toOthless." ''Oh, as for that,
laughed Uncle Josh, "if you'll only
consult good dentist il time, you
can save the catastrophe. DIR. Sprin-
KEEL. for instance, is wonderfully ex-
pert in saving natural teeth, and he
has the skill and every mechanical ap-
pliance necessary to do his work with
the least discomfort to his patrons.
Come up, and I'll show you the neat
est denial parlors you was ever in in
your life."
"Oh, goodness, Uucle, there's a mu-
sic store across the street., exclaimed
Polly, II surely will be lonely without
piano" Uncle Josh was noticed to
examine his bank book rather lugu-
briously. ''Well, l guess can stand
it," he said; but, by the way, what
piano would you most prefer ~ II
think I'd like to have Starr. Several
people have recommended it to me for
its purity Of tone, sympathy Of touch,
beauty of finish and whole lot Of
other good points" You couldn' It
choose better; instrument, replied
the old man, land sure enough W. w.
Putnam & Co. sell the Starr" Polly
selected the coveted piano for her
parlOr, and Uncle Josh insisted upon
also getting a Putnam Organ for the
sitting room, to which she gladly as
sented, while the old gentleman wrote
check. pleasantly too-'cause he
knew the prices were extremely rea-
sonable.
"Oh. say, LUncle," exclaimed Polly,
"where can | go for dry good? This
dress is hardly suitable, must ad-
nit" "Well, my girl, if you want to
select from one of the most popular
establishments in the city, will direct
you to j. Il. Harris, who carries nice
stock of dress gosds and ladies' furn-
ishings. He carries all the latest
weaves in fashionable dress goods and
you are sure to he guided right III
your selections. You will find Mr..
Harris pleasant to deal with and his
employees polite and expert, while the
prices cannot be duplicated. 1t did not
take Polly long to tell bargain when
she saw one. She got a handsome
dress, some shirt waists and several
other article of fantastic disarray so
dear to the heart of every woman and
for which Harris is noted for giving
extra choice values"
Emerging from the dry goods store
Polly asked Uncle Josh if there was a
greenhouse in town. 81 must have
some pot plants, you know, and some
cut..flOwers for our reception" Just
so. just So, laughed Uncle Josh, sit
do beat all how you wimmen folks can
think of things, but l like flowers my
self, nothing helps so much to make
home look cheerfullike. We will go
right up to John FalIon's greenhouses
where you can get anything in plants
or flowers you want. Besides pot
plants. they make a speciality of cut
flowers for weddings, receptions, ETC.,
and floral designs for funerals; don't
charge fancy prices, either" Polly
ordered big supply of natures beau
ties and informed Mr.. Fallon be might
expect her back again soon.
''And now, young man, let me give
you a pointer" remarked the gener-
GUS old uncle. II ought to have told
you about it while at KiracOfe Cos.
Do not understand me to say that
clothes make the man, but do affirm
that clean and spotless linen helps a
heap. Now in this connection l am
happy to inform you that the City
Laundry is one of the best laundries
in the State. Polly will want her lace
curtain and shirt waists done up, it's
ticklish job you know, but the City
Laundry is SO very careful that the
most delicate fabrics are washed with
out the slightest Injury because the
work is all done by hand. Prof. G. l..
w iIson, the proprietor, will see that
your collars, cuffs and shirts are made
white as snow unless they happen to
be colored, but then you needn't be
afraid of fade, for Prof. Wilson prides
himself on doing colored goods pro-
