LAST YEARS SUIT

There ls no reason whatever against wearing last years tailor suits exactly as they are.
 The woman who got new and stylish suit last spring can wear it until the really cold weather sets in without altering A point.
 If it is too cool for frost and sleet. all she has to do Is to add one of the charming woolen wastcoats, which will give warmth and style
 If by any reason of inclination or caprice she had turnover cuffs on her sleeves, she would do better to take them off.
 There are very few alterations that should be allowed in a tailor suit. for 1t is well-known truth that it is better 10 wear a cloth suit as lt is than to reshape and retrim it.
 Women do not always realize that to alter the exact lines of tho coat will ruin the whole, Even q little thing like moving buttons, simple AS It seems and much as lt Is done, usually throws the whole coat out of gear.

CURTAIN STRETCHING c

Now that fall housecleaning Ia en- crossing so much attention, lt is well to know that when stretching cur talns, especially those beginning to show little wear q sheet should be put on the floor and upon this tackled the most worn curtain, using bank pins to tack each scallop. Then hook the other curtains on the same as Is on stretchers This method takes much less time. The curtains will be straight and of uniform size, as four curtains can be put down at once and they will wear twice AS long.
 Tack them down; do not pin them, because when pinning the pins must he removed for each curtain and pinned back, Bank pins are sold by the pound in department stores. They will not bend in tacking and can he used number of times.

FOUNDATION OF The FUTURE
Norfolk Commercial Club Engaged In
a Good Work.

Just now the Norfolk Commercial
club is seeking to lay what they think
will be the foundation of Norfolk s
future growth. One OF the fundamental
| things that the club Is seeking is equit-
able and competitive freight rates.
Another thing that the club has in
mind is cheap power which 1t hopes
to in some way obtain from the Elk
horn river.
Norfolk's location and railroad facil.
tiles afford the opportunity for growth
and the men who are boosting Norfolk
are confident of that growth. Just now
Norfolk Is engaged in pushing out the
legal limits of the city. The men who
have Norfolk's hopes in their hearts
believe that 1t will not be many years
before the city will be itself pushing
out OF the new boundary lines.
There are many lines of easy ex.
pansion for the dwelling section of
very desirable locations for business
blocks waiting invitingly on Norfolk
avenue.
Norfolk is Just now in a condition
where growth of population means an
expansion and filling up Of the dwell
ing section and where virtually every
additional business will mean a new
building. Just now you can travel
from one end of Norfolk avenue to
the other without seeing vacant
store building. 1t takes trained
man TO find vacant house. A good
many tenament houses In Norfolk
have waiting lists"
This condition makes the prediction
of a healthy volume Of building oper
ations in Norfolk a very safe prophecy.
