A French pattern for top sheet and
cases which will doubtless be very
tempting for a prospective bride is
made of rather a sheer linen with bold
eyelet border of daisies, drawn work
and slashes through which wide rib

A bed dressed in this manner is
very attractive, the shade of the bows
matching the color scheme OF the
decorations.
A dainty little couch pillow is also
shown in heart shape. The pattern is
unique, consisting of tiger lilies, the

The "Peau Dure" Fla.

This remarkable variety recently
imported from southern France. by
the Georgia experiment station, has
probably before been brought to
America-not even to California. 1t
is a brownish-purple ig-of the color
known in France as :'grise" (gray) and
this color in a fig is almost invariably
a guarantee of superior quality. This
the "Peau Dure' unquestionably pos
sesses, since it is sugary, with a delic-
ious flavor, and what is very unusual
in a fig, "vinous" or slightly acid. 1t
is medium TO large in size, and the
tree vigorous and healthy. The pulp
is crimson and the seed ''crackle'
crispy under the teeth. It's name, trans
lated, is Tough Skin" 1t is a very de-
cided acquisition.

has been able to cure In all its stages, and that is
Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is the only positive
cure now known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh
being q constitutional disease, requires a c%onstitu-
tional treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure is taken in
ternally, acting directly upon the blood and mucous
surfaces Of the system, thereby destroying the
foundation Of the disease, and giving the patient
strength by building up the constitution and assist
Ing nature IN doing its work. The proprietors have

served with candied ginger and cher

to preserve the "Japanesque" charac-

provided in the dining-room, SO the
guests drank their tea seated on the
floor.
If one wishes to serve more elabo-
rate refreshments, olives, nut sand

in kimonos or the hair combed in
Japanese style, with numberless fans

were 50 confident of his success
all along That he great mass Of
voters felt Icmal kab'y indifferent
about voting II seems that on
ly those voted who found it con
venient to do so.
The opposition, if all we
gather can be relied upon, was
not confined to those alone who
adhere to Mr.. Watts from princi-
pies of party faith. There were
"old scores that had to be reck-
Onrd; and there is evidence of
'oerably well organized plan
having been put in motion, which
had for it's method man to man
,pulse taking on the q. in
the hope Of polling every possible
vote against Mr.. Bronssard
Those who attempted this were
poorly rewarded, as evidenced by
the returns. Many of those who
found themselves obligated to
vote against the policies advoca
ted by Mr.. BrOussard in the
munic pal election, are none the
less the staunchest friends of his
in all matters where he has a
direct and personal interest, and
that it would be futile effort TO
try to deflect the votes of such
citizens, when Mr. Broussard, him
self, was candidate. Thus the
scheme tlanspired.
The effort could have had but
one purpose and that was to
make il appear that Mr. BrOus-
sard's great popularity was wan
in at his home poll.
