The Girl
of the Class of '99

Not the least part of our early sum-
mer attentions is directed toward the
interest Of the GRADUATING GIRL.
We have followed this bent for SO
many years that it has become q spec
ialty with us; yes, and q perfected
speciality. We have first studied the
fashions that pertain to these wants.
During the past few years our Paris
connections have aided US by sugcos-
tions and models for correct wear, and
today this store stands alone in North
eastern Pennsylvania as the greatest
repository of feminine wants for
CLASS DAYS and COMAfENCE-
MENTS.
Not behind any former year in point
Of assortment, goodness of materials
and supremacy of STYLES, is this years
gathering; from the gown with its
trimmings and ribbons to the hosiery.
gloves and fan.
All graduating girls, even those of
limited means, when arranging for
their gowns for these supreme occa-
sions. plan for an attractive ensemble
This is helpful store. Whether
your taste be hampercd with a limited
purse or not, yOu'll find here Just what
you'll need, and at Just the prices
which you have planned TO expect.
We said this was helpful store. AS
proof, We have prepared a little bock-
let on

Of opinion rs to how far a woman> in

happy married life Dean Swift in
clined to the opinion that 4 better edu-
cation of women would be preferable
to the method pursued in his day Of
training up both sexes in Ignorance,
idleness, and vice. But old Dr. John
son contended that, ifa man had a wife
of a studious or argumentative turn, it
would be very troublesome. For in
stance" he observed, "who would want
Il wife to continually dwell upon the
subject of the Arian hcresy?'
Charles Dickens's ideal wife was
woman who always speaks in low
tone, and who does not speak much;
who is patient, gentle, intellectual, and
Industrious; who scolds and rarely az
CUES, but adjusts all difficulties with
a smile. Burns, the poet, divided the
scale of good wifeship into ten parts:
good nature. 4; good sense, ,; wit, /;
personal charms, |. The remaining
two degrees covered fortune, education,
family blood. etc. "Divide the two
degrees among them as you please" he
said; ''only remember that all these
minor qualities must be expressed by
fractions, not one them being entitled
to the dignity Of an integcr"
Miss Bremen SAYS that the ideally
true wife should be to the domestic

the sunbeams between the trees and
should unite herself inwardly to him;

wife as the compound of the bread of
life, which is love, the salt of life, whicl.
is work, the sweetness of life, which is
poesy, and the water of life, which is

STILL THE CHAMPION.

They had been telling stories, and
the man from the north listened at
tentively without betraying any desire
to break in, until they had made up
their minds that he never observed
anything at all extraordinary in the
whole course Of his life.
Then he suddenly spoke up.
"Speaking of cold," he began. Up
to this time the weather had not been
discussed at all, but, of course, that
is the usual Way af starting Il real
good story iE some parts of the coun-
try.
"Speaking of cold," he repeated af-
ter 4 pause, to make sure that lie had
not forgotten the story, when | was
among the Eskimos | found that things
froze so tight and solid that it was GUS
tomary to build fireplaccs and stoves
of snow and ice.'
The man from Kansas brcathed
hard.
DO you mean to say" he asked
at last, ''that you actually started
fires in stoves and tircplaces made Of
snow"
"Ccrtainly," replied the man from
the north.
