A BRIDGE Of Note

The "Auld Brig O Ayr" which
Burns made dear to all lovers of his
immortal poetry by the famous dia-
logue between the new bridge and the
old one. is falling into decay. Well it
may, for the date of its foundation,
cut into its wall is 1852 Six hundred
and fifty years is a respectable age
for a bridge. Its supports are now
crumbling. An architect. who is also
an archaeologist and an enthusiast for
Burns. reports that it will soon col
lapse unless it be shored up and re-
newed. He is trying to induce the
town council of Ayr to appropriate
$4,000 for its preservation. The coun-
Gil is willing to act. it is said, but is
delaying over question of whether
the money should come from taxation
or be taken from a bequest long ago
made for the purpose. the validity of
which is undecided. Here is an oppor-
tunity for Andrew Carnegie.

With the numerous families he has

mony of purpose. and each individual

Seemingly, council was held. and
the question Of winters supply Of
food duly considered and soon carried
into effect. Some wise bee found a
small hole in the attic, where 1G0 or
more pounds Of honey was stored. At
once all the forces of the colonies
were summoned, and with determina-
ton that knows no failure they trans
ferred every particle of honey from
the garnet to the new boxes on the

The Elton collar is noticed on some

from the collarless effects Of former
seasons. 1t gives a girlish, not to say
boyish look to the wearer. 1t has
already been seen on the English ten
MS suits Of white duck and sea green
linen in Florida courts, and now it
comes along as top dressing of the

It is of linen usually. but is made
more becoming and softly feminine by
a frilling of soft Valenciennes lace
sewed all the way around. The open
space between the collar points is
thus filled in and finished with bow.

light yellow to dark orange, and then
to red
