The material is not really that Of the
cretonnes, but is rather heavy linen

as borders on linen materials which
are meant to be used for the frock

an entire innovation in the ideals OF
dressing, they are so elaborate, so pro-
nounced and, seen at first glance, so
altogether beyond what a woman og
refined taste would care to wear But
this is apt to seem the case when

yet by the time the season for wearing

he was not we'll in touch with the gen.

lieve that 1t was not good. He said the
Consolidated is completing it's work on
the new stamp mill and that by the
first Of October 200 stamps will be
dropping. A new shaft is being sunk
to a depth of 800 or 800 feet, and when
