Will be issued, and printed on a better
quality of paper than is now used by
any newspaper, the appearance of the
sheet will be pleasing. This, coupled
with the arrangement of the type, will
make the reading matter easy to the
eye. With the exception of half-tone
cuts of prominent local women, pictul es
will not ordinarily be used, but every
event OF special interest will be handled
as efficiently in a pictorial manner as
In the news columns.
THE fashion page will daily be illu-
minated with a four-column drawing,
it having been satisfactorily demon
strated that in the faithful portrayal
of the details of new styles of dress the
artists pencil is superior to any other
process.
The makeup of the paper allows
OF twenty-seven columns of reading or
news matter and twenty-one columns
of advertising matter, six columns be-
ing the width of the page. Page one
will be occupied wholly by news mat
ter. while column of the latest ideas
and intelligence from shops, with adj

Page three will be devoted exclusively
to fashions. Society, club and phllan-
thropic news will be printed on the
editorial page. No. 4, this page being
devoid of advertising, together with the
regular editorial matter. Page five
will be used entirely for advertise
ments. On page six will be found two
columns of literary, music, artistic and
theatrical comment, the remaining four
columns being filed with advertise
ing matter. Page seven, the home

tees of forthcoming club and social
events. and an employment agency de-
partment. Page eight will be given
over to advertising.
"The originality of the employment
agency department can readily be UNI
derstood when it is stated that the aim
of this project is to furnish reliable
servants. whose references will have
been fully investigated and guaranteed
before their advertisement will appear
in the Help Wanted columns
"The value of this department., both
to the woman wanting servant and
the servant seeking a position. will be
further enhanced by prize competitions.
A fund will be set aside for the award
of prizes to those servants who remain
for stated length of time in the serv-
ice of one employer, to those servants
who prove entirely satisfactory etc.
Instead of Sunday issue. Mr.. Tai
bot said, there will be Saturday sup
