George w. and King William w., she
made a point Immediately after her
succession to pay off in full the very
large debts contracted by her father,
the duke of Kent. This, the portioning
of her daughters, as we'll as some OF
her granddaughters, who have in each
100000 on marrying, and the settle

more than one-fifth Of that OF the

When she puts on a Sorosis shoe she has that comfortable, easy, young feeling about her feet that is so essential to perfect happiness k The woman who wears a Sorosls shoe can be fitted, whether she Is in the West Indies or in West Haven by simply sending the size and number to a Sorosis dealer. The shape of the foot matters little for when once the foot is fitted record is kept of the size, etc, and can be duplicated at any time. This is the great advantage in wearing that make of shoe.

In- stances like the above are recorded every day by some dealer in Sorosis shoes. Every shape is distinctive and hygenic, allowing freedom for working, while perfectlng the form of the foot. The shoes are shapely in appearance and are always one price.

 bered and celebrated as 1t has been on our decks. With what heartfelt satis- faction must ye have listened to the re-
 ports of the blacksmith's anvil! With what a keen sense of gratitude ye watched the course of the plug as it flew high in the air, and curving majestical- ly plunged itself into the water, start ling the inhabitants of the mighty deep causing them never to forget the annl- versary of the independence of the Uni ted States of America!
 How benightly ye look down upon us while partaking of the junk and hard tack in honor of the day! And how enviously ye must have watched the removal of the cloth' when were pro- duced the smooth boards, two of them stained and vanished bright, the third as the carpenter left it. And could ye mourn the loss of blood, of limbs and of life, in accomplishing the freedom of your country, when ye see the abun- dance of the luxuries enjoyed by us to- day, the result of your struggles? Ye con truly say to yourselves, Had it not been for our f1rmness during the trou- bles and trials of the Revolution, how could ye, our descendants, have en- joyed the pop of the anvil, the majestic course of the flag, the startling of the fishes, the grinding of the salt junk, the removal of the cloth, and the piggn of water at the butt?''
