The pork market is easier. The beef

better sold up than a week ago. Prices
are little easier.
On lambs the supply is easier, under

The game supply is decidedly limited.
Rabbits are in full supply just now,
from the fact that the list of March is
the beginning Of the close season on
them. and dealers dare not handle them
after that date. Prices are largely NOM

before Saturday. There is only a fair

departed. Some of the gowns of this de-
scription deserve the adjective of SPLEEN
Gid. The underskirt consists of endless
hounces of accordton-plaited chiffon, the
over-drapery of the lace being ofttimes
mingled with mink or sable The mixture
of lace chiffon and fur is an effective and
fashionable one for evening wear, says
the Philadelphia Times
On the white satin and lace gowns
hand-painting or embroidery is frequent
ly applied more often in the design Of
roses than anything else. Indeed, TIE rose
is decidedly the most popular blossom
ir floral garniture. ink roses nestle in
the soft ruches at the hem of evening
gowns of the airy, fairy kind A pretty
idea is white tulle dress it'll checked
pattern formed in roses on the bodice
and above the double f1ounces of the
skirt. Such roses are frequently made
gltstening with dewdrops and touch
OF pink or blue figures in the waistband
The soft materials scattered over with
rose leaves are daintily picturesque.
