Variety In Linens.

The linens now come in so many
different weights and of so many diff
ferent makes that it is quite possible
to buy a linen at this season that can
be worn from the very minute 1t is
made. There are linen styles TO suit
early spring as well as linen styles for
late midsummer. And one of the best
importers is showing tailor made linens
in deep blues that are to be put on
now and worn. or at least that can be
worn. in a very few days.

Handsome Linen Gown.

A handsome linen intended for very
early wear is of Copenhagen blue. 1t
is very heavy. and TO make it more
seasonable it is trimmed with black
velvet. There is a collar of velvet, a
plain narrow turnover hand. and there
are fare velvet cuffs turning back from
the three-quarter sleeves. The style.
which is that Of coat and skirt, is
rather full in its line.

Boot Must Match Gown

The necessary item of shoes Is a
thing not to be reckoned with easily
That the boot must match the gown Is
now a style which is unquestioned, but
the matter of purchasing the cloth and
having it made up into boots is so ex-
pensive that one hesitates at the out
lay. Fortunately boots now come ready
made with tops that match many mate
rails.

Black velvet ribbon outlines the en-

black velvet ribbon bands the sleeves.
The cost of such robes is $50, with
velvet and net 1t should easily come
within a cost of SO when finished.

BIG SUIT FOR DAMAGES

The Palatka water works has be-
gun suit for $4,000 damages for con-
version, against the Palatka Gas
Light & Fuel Co. and G. Lopez Bal
ley, and the papers in the case we're
served on the defendant company
this week.
For some years there has been a
dispute between the companies to this
suit, the water company maintaining
that the gas company had tapped its
main and was using the water of the
complaining company in the cooling
process at the gas plant This the
defendant company denies.
There is an impression that the
suit is brought at this time with the
purpose Of embarrassing Mr.. Bailey
in his quest for a soft water supply
for the municipal water plant. the
success OF which quest would pat the
old Palatka water works out of bust
ness.
II will be remembered that The city
council has recently authorized con
tract with Mr.. Bailey, president Of
the gas company, whereby that gen
ueman agrees. in consideration of
$4,000, to deliver to the pumping sta
ton of the municipal water plant an
unfailing supply of soft water in sui
ficient quantity to supply the needs
of the city, the expense Of trial for,
or failure to, supply to be borne by
the contractor.
In the event that Mr.. Bailey and
the gentlemen associated with him
succeed in securing this water sup
ply it would be hard to approximate
its value to the city, and they will
certainly have earned the $4,000 the
city is agreeing to pay.-PaIatka

WHAT "6ARAcA" MEANS

A word that has come into familiar
use recently puzzled me no little when
| first saw it in print" said Iayman.
I refer to 'Baraca,' popular in the
Sunday school world, to denote a class
composed of young men who not only
study the Bible, but who form broth
erhood to work along philanthropic
lines.
Having been a reader of the Eng
lisb Bible since boyhoOd, I bethought
myself, but could not remember having
come across the word in the Old or
New Testament. | looked in the BIZ
not there. Then I began asking Sun
day school workers. but ali got from
bic concordance. but the word was
them was that the word was taken
from Genesis xii, >, And | will bless
thee, and make thy name great. and
thou shalt be a blessing, I know moth
ing OF the Hebrew language. but when
| referred the matter 10 rabbi. he
said: That word stumped me when 1
saw il in the newspapers; l could find
it in the dictionary. but if it is used
in The sense of the word blessing. it
should follow the Hebrew form
B'Racka. That is the way it appears
in the book of Genesis.
A minister now tells me that the
word Baraca was adopted by Marshall
A. Hudson of Syracuse, y. Y. about
ten years ago, and by him applied to
Sunday school classes such as bear
the name. and have the scope of the
brotherhood system in vogue today.
Another minister says that this
Hebrew or Semitic word for blessing
got into the language of the optic
church to mean the bread used in the
holy eucharist.
A word that is so commonly heard
now should find it's way into the die
tiOnary. It's history in Sunday school
life, although young, has been written
about, doubtless, and explained. AT

fruit Are of Fine Quality

Chase & Co, report that Florida or
anges and grapefruit are continuing
10 run of fine quality and of desirable
sizes. The fruit is giving excellent
satisfaction. Prices compared with
last year are lower. Consumers, on
account of this, have bought freely,
and the trade has been using larger
supplies than if the quality was not
so good or the prices high. For the
eighth consecutive season Chase &
Co. are marketing the fruit from the
groves of L. B. Skinner. at Suther-
land, as well as that of Mr.. Skinner
and his associates at Dunedin. The
estimated output Of these groves is
$4,000 boxes of oranges. grapefruit
and tangerines. These groves are
among the finest in the state. The
fruit from the Dunedin groves will be
shipped under the Dunedin brand
while that from the Sutherland sec
ton will be under the Sutherland
brand, instead of under the Dunedin
brand, as before. This brand has al,
ways proved popular and the trade
