Vegetables From Florida
Are Reachiag the Market

Florida winter Vegetables have be
gun TO reach the market. Ckra, egg
plant and tomatoes have made up the
shipments so far
The Florida season IS opening earlier
than for several years. IN addition to
this, the quality Of the vegetables is
far supeFior to that which usually char
acterizes the first shipments that reach
the market in the winter from the pen
tnsuiar state.
AS a result OF the season starting
early. there viii be no break in the
supply Of tomatoes on the market, as
the homegrown vegetable is still be-
ing received on light scale. The
same is true Of eggplant.
Generally speaking, the outlook for
the produce market this winter is
twenty-five per cent better than il was
q year ago. Game is more plentiful I:
the supply or meats Is sufficient for
demand; eggs have not gone as high
as IT was expected they would, while
vegetables, and especially potatoes, are
in heavier supply than they We're last

a dentist who understands his business.

LINEN COLLAR BACK

The return Of the waistcOat may be
said 10 be responsible for the revival Of
the linen collar, for the waistcoat can
hardly be worn with anything but a
severe collar.
The tie may be a picturesque knot OF
soft wide satin, or it may have long
jabot ends of pleated muslin, with
trillings of Valenciennes, but the collar
to accompany the waistcoat must be of
stif linen.

Diligent Housewife Finds
Improvements Easy to Make

A tall row Of shelves with a -four
