Shirt Waist Suits.

Any price almost between S1.69
and $500.
We don't mean, though, that the
SLIGO suit is cheap" suit in the
sense that it's common, nor does it
mean that the SIS. 90 suit is dear
in the way Of being an extravagant
price. It means. though, that for
s1.69 you're getting the best suit in
Richmond for that money, and at
$500 you're getting full $500
worth of value.
Here's few of the medium suits.
One for s6.98 Is a solid lawn, with
the waist and skirt tucked and hem
stitched.
Another at S6.o8 is white and black
lawn, tucked and trimmed with black
lace.
Very pretty Suits for S5.98 are black
and white Dimties in polka dots or
figures, trimmed with cat stitched braid
and collar and belt to match.
Solid Chambrays, in two colors or
solid white lawns, hemstitched and
flounced, for $500.

the brakeman approached them with
his back turned; he was suddenly
struck, whirled from his position on
the steps of the car. and was pinned
helplessly between the trunks and the
moving train. He himself had no ex-
pectation of getting out alive, and
those who saw the accident say that
1t was nothing less than miracle that
he has lived to tell the tale. At one
time he was under the cars, but man
aged to eXtricate himself, and finally
was in position where he could be
seized by the terrified onlookers and
pulled out of harms way.
Cedar Rapids.
Some time ago Secretary Sinclair,
of the local Y. NJ. c. A., formed 10y
al League association among the mem
bers of the local association with the
purpose of securing IL possible mem
bership for the association of 500. Each
member of the Loyal league promises
to try faithfully to get at least one new
member for the Y. Nj. c. A. before the
end of the association year. which is
the first of March. The boys and
young men have been so effective in
their labors that the 500 mark was
reached some time ago, and another
hundred is we'll on the way And now
efforts are being made to reach 600
instead of 500.

A Friend In Need.

This episode occurred In Putnam
avenue car in Brooklyn at 2 o'clock the
other morning. He was fine looking
young man and stupidity drunk. Be
side him were fair faced man and q
charming young woman. The drunken
man sprawled all over the seat and
finally dropped his head on the lap OF
the young man beside the girl.
The young woman was greatly an
noyed, but her escort was not. He
gently patted the head of the drunken
man and did not disturb him. but let
him sleep. The young woman wore n
beautiful green tie aud diamonds, and
her escort had fine Nandyke beard.
1t has been often asked, What is true
gentleman? And if ever gentleman
did kind thing the escort of that
young woman did in the estimation of
the other passengers in the car. who
saw him gently patting the head of the
drunken young fellow and soothingly
saying:
Keep quiet. my dear boy; it's all
right Don't worry"
The young woman was abashed, but
her escort said: Its all right, sweet
heart. He'd do the same for me.
