The firm of Haynes & Co., Springfield,
celebrated their 5Oth anniversary last Fri
day. When the firm started out to make
clothes, half century ago, Its custom
department occupied the rear portion of
the second floor of a building near the
corner of Main and State streets. In 1856
1t was necessary to seek larger quarters,
and the firm moved to the site of the
present Gilmore block, on the corner of
Main and Pynchon streets. Fire destroyed
the building eight years later, but at the
end of 13 months, thanks to the enter
prise of the late Tilly Haynes, the owner
OF the block, the firm was again making
clothes. Two more changes were made
before Haynes & Co. finally settled down
In the store whose new front now bears
It's name. In 1876 the firm moved into
the Massachusetts Mutual building, when
the whole Of the third floor was given
over to its manufacturing department, and
two years later 1t located in the block In
which Graves hardware store is now sit
uated. Although somewhat changed In
outward appearance, the block at 346 and
Main street has been known as Haynes

THE ELDER SOTHERN.
A Couple of the Celebrated Com
dams Practical Jokes.

A Couple of the Celebrated Come
dams Practical Jokes.
Many stories are told of Sothern's
original methods of entertaining his
friends at dinner, and possibly the
most amusing is that of the belated
guest. When, late in the dinner, this
friend was announced, Mr.. Sothern ex-
claimed, Let us all hide under the
table," and down they all went save
Mr.. Sothern himself, who remained
seated. When the tardy guest entered,
Mr.. Sothern rose and received him
with exquisite courtesy, saying, when
for some unaccountable reason, all hid
under the table," After a few mo-
ments of discomfort one by one they
crept out and back to their seats.
I heard from both Mr.. Sothern and
Mrs. Vincent this account of an out
burst of fun at a dinner given by him
in his parlor at the Revere House: AS
the guests, ten in number. were gath
cred about the open fire before dinner
a stout. pompous waiter afflicted with
short breath, added the last touches to
large, square pieces of bread were
placed with mathematical precision
one at each plate, and then he left the
room to bring the wine. Mr.. Sothern
saw his opportunity and. calling his
dog, cried: 'Tiger. the bread! Quick.
Tigerv' And the nimble little gray
hound bounded lightly upon the table
again and again as he heard his mas
ters imperative 'Fetch the bread"
until each piece had been removed to
dark corner near the fire.
Upon the walters return all was ST.
lence. The expectant look upon Mr..
Sothern's face showed only that dinner
was awaited. Standing for a moment.
bewildered, the waiter, seeing no bread
upon the table. hesitatingly turned to
the door, then retraced his steps to
the table, examined it carefully and
hurTiedly left the room. He soon re-
appeared with fresh plate of bread.
and again at each plate a piece was
carefully placed. and he retired with
the empty plate. ."Quick. Tiger! Fetch
1t again! More bread! More breadw
And once more each piece was re-
moved before the grave waiter reap
peared, and all were again silent. One
look at the table and one at the
guests. and there remained no doubt.

nounced dinner, and after all were
safely seated at the table he brought

placed it, with gesture of scorn,
piece by piece for each person and for
the host. The merry scene soon dis
armed his hostility, and before the
evening was over the bread in the cor

Egyptian government was confronted with
strongly similar conditions, and has ac
7complished wonders In redeeming alkali
lands. In the course of the irrigation
work an old canal was found which was
constructed by one of the Pharoahs, and
which is mentioned In Heroditus. This
canal is being restored and will serve to
tirrigate all of that valley between the
Nile and the Red Sea, which was assigned
TO the Israelites before their exodus from
Egypt"

 HER BATH ROBE FRENCH,

French bath robes will prevail at the sea shore this summer. When my lady emerges from her dip. dripping from her encounter with the waves her jaunty costume clinging all to closely to the lines of her figure, the Turkish toweling robe will hide her from prying eyes till she reaches her bath house.
 The coolest woman in town will wear the Grand Prix French linen suit. The fabric is an open mesh, but with a body that adapts itself wonderfully to the tailor cut. Vertical straps piped in color, are the trimming of waists and skirt, the belt or high pointed effect in the back narrowing down to the re- qurements of a straight front. A quaint idea is the leather job for the watch, A pocket on the left. side of the bodice gives mannish finish.
 Washable Jap silks and pongees both unlined, will have a tremendous vogue In finest grades the Tussah silk is so soft and sheer that it could be drawn through a ring with ease Insertions are largely used in these costumes which take a yoke effect in tucks on the skirt.
 Another summer gown which will commend itself both for lightness and beauty is the brilliantine shirt waists suit. It comes in all shades and is adapted to almost any occasion.
 Pongee dusters will be favored for travelling, they are long, loose and with stitched silk bands as triming both attractive and comfortabl Shirt waists costumes in lawn, mercerized and satin foulards of strips and fguures, contend for precedence. Linen suits will be thinner this year and in most cases less severe in cut, for the erstwhile plain shirtwaist has extended its demain and blossom anew with feminine fal-las,-New York World.
