Fruits at the Fair.

/ wish to call attention of the
fruit growers of this county to
the Importance of their making
a proper effort to show their
best fruits at the approaching
Roswell Fair Sept. 1926.
There is a fairly good list OF
premiums offered for a variety
of displays. But the higher mo-
tive of showing what good
things our orchards can produce
should move us more TO an ear
nest effort. Let us show the
world how good a country we
live inl Don't forget It'll Don't
neglect it'll We can do what all
will be proud oil

Comets and Women.

The analogy between comets and wo-
men once formed the subject Of the
following peroration from an evening
contemporary: Comets doubtless an

the creation; 30 do women. Comets
are incomprehensibe. beautiful and &C.
centric; so are women. Comets shine
with peculiar splendor. but at night are
most brilliant; SO are women. Comets
are ~enveloped with q lucid nebula
through which their forms are visible;
30 are those Of women in their light
and elegant attire. Comets eonfound
the most learned when they attempt
10 ascertain their nature; so do women.
Comets equally excite the admiration
Of the philosopher and of the clod OF
the valley: so do women. Comets and
women are therefore closely analogous,
but, the nature Of each being i%nscruta-

An Assisted Wooing.

A shadow fell across Andrew Bar

had entered his room and was stand

"And now that I've seen you I want

"Sit here" said Andrew, and pointed
to chair beside the desk.

HOW TO SAVE MONEY ON
YOUR GLOVES.

There are many ways in which, by
careful buying and proper care, the
woman of today may save a consider
able portion of the money which she
now finds it necessary to spend for
new gloves.
In purchasing gloves, the first OBJ
ject, of course, must be to secure a
perfect fit. It does not always follow
that because you wear a glove Of q
certain number, any glove which may
be stamped with the same number will
fit just as we'll. The fingers of people,
as well as the fingers of gloves, vary
in length and circumference. Great
care should be taken to buy gloves Of
the right dimensions.
If glove is of the right size and
cut, much Of its subsequent tractabil-
ity depends upon the way it is first put
on.
1t should be perfectly adjusted to
the hand, with every seam straight
and true, each finger pushed down to
its proper place, and the whole fitted
smoothly and carefully. This will re-
quire little time, but it will be time
we'll invested.
No attempt should be made to but
ton the glove till the hand is perfect.
ly fitted; then begin at the bottom,
and proceed gently-do nothing with
gloves in hurry.
AS there is right way, and many
wrong ways, to put on gloves, there
is also right way to take them of.
They should never be drawn off by
the finger tips, unless they are old and
very loose. Taking them off in that
way soon stretches the ends of the
fingers, so that they can never after
wards be made to give a pleasing
lit.
Instead, take the glove by the wrist
and draw it gently back over the hand
till the second joint of the finger is
reached. It can then be drawn of
the finger-tips without damage.
When it is thus taken of, the very
best way to treat it is to leave the
fingers distended, just as they came
from the hand; when it is next want
ed, it will fit the hand much more
easily, and look better, than if it were
smoothed aud fattened back into the
form of new glove.
Gloves that are but slightly soiled
may be easily cleaned with the exer-
else of little patience and care. The
best way to do this is to place the
glove upon the hand, wet a piece of
clean flannel with benzine and wipe
the stained part very lightly and
carefully. As soon as the flannel
shows any discoloration take q new
portion.
When kid glove has been torn it
can, in most cases, be mended so as al
most to defy detection. Under the
tear, on the inside of the glove, place
piece of strong silk of the proper
size and secure it by invisible stitches.
Then quilt the leather upon it with
darning stitches, which sheuld be
made as nearly invisible as possl-
