What Makes the Store Conn
Portable ?

ITS freedom-or, rather your free
dom. Nine acres of things to
look at and scarcely a warning
notice in the whole store.
Its beauty-not especially of archi-
lecture but of contents. The art gal
lery-of course everybody comes to
enjoy it; but that is incidental.
Its authoritative styles-and they
are clearly SO acknowledged. No
matter when you come, you can
learn as much about dress as one
could gather in a six weeks tour of
European capitals, and as much about
home adornment.
The return of goods-so free that
many merchants accuse us of spoil
ing you. But the broad-gauge store
is supplier, not a mere trahicker;
and the thing that for any reason
doesn't suit we want you to send
back. This means loss to us-may-
be we deserve it through some fault
OF scIv,cc; some error in inspection.
Maybe we do not deserve half of it
the system VS. not evolved to SIM
ply give you chance to change your
mind, Eut we buildcd better than
we knew. You may change your
mind, and we see enough reasons
why you may want to, at times, to

THE LOCAL THEATER.

The Imperial Stock Co. Of New York
City occupied the siege at Pavilion hall
each night last week after Wednesday
and the first three week day nights of
this week. Their rendition of popular
plays were appreciated and commended
by nearly all who attended ,!althouah the
attendance on part Of the evenings was
not as great as hoped for. The manager
OF the troupe, Mr. Morton, has been here
several times previously and worthily
bears the record of gentleman and schol-
ar. His visits here therefore to all who
know him have been acceptable. Regret
only has been expressed towards the
financial results OF his visits here.
Ii seems to be discouraging season

1t is therefore expected that Mr. Becker
