The scarcity in silk gloves which was
felt so sorely last summer by the feni-
mine portion of the community, was
averted this year by the backward sea-
son. giving the manufacturers
chance to catch up on their orders. The
new silk shades in browns, greens, Oh

HERE'S A BARGAIN.
Did YOU know you could buy a real CEN
ter niece ,24-24 inches, for $1.69, or piece
of brazilian point, for 81 so? The drawn
work is really "hand made" owing to
the cheapness of labor in some locali-

MEMS FURNISHINGS.
Nothing very interesting here you
say? Why. just ponder the fact once
that the poor masculine man with
chest 80 inches In circumference and
only 80 inches long, can be fitted with
out going to the expense of hiring
tailor and waiting several weeks on
the same. These hard to fit" men are
no longer hard to fit. as suits are
made in three styles, respectively,
long stouts" medium stouts" and
short stouts." The gentleman whose
proportions have been described would
come in the last class.
Then there are many interesting
things connected with mems hats, how
the fur of the Belgian hair is used In
making fine felt ones, and how poor

will sometimes wear 7s hat. some
men love novelties in hats and wear

have the latest as any woman. But
they are the exception, thank good
ness and Salt Lake is not afflicted
with numerous Beau Brummels.
