from distance bring trunk in which to
pack their purchases. This is certainly g
wise plan but we would suggest to those
who deal in trunks that another year tt ey

the ladies will be able to leave their old ont
at home and get a new one for littl
money. Bargains have been offered a
nearly every store. Mr.. Barron has placec

last week. They had the bargains bu
they could net have disposed of them
