Every occasion illustrated his elo-

go yourself?" For time Mr.. Chand-
ler's deafness prevented him from
catching the exact nature of the in
terruption of which he had been for
some time conscious. At last, Mr.
Chandler caught the words of the dis

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory if the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, it is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality of the goods. This trou-
BILE can be entirely overcome by using
Defiance Starch, as it can be applied
much more thinly because of it's great

usually low and sensational prices /

There are only two ways in which
genuine diamonds such as assure

One is to steal them; the other is to
buy them under unusual circumstances.
AS did not steal them the latter is
the case and Twill be glad TO explain
to any doubtful person just why I
am able to offer these remarkably nne
diamonds at such absurdly low prices,
il they will call at my store.
Every stone is genuine-white and
brilliant. Every stone is sold under an
unconditional guarantee OF its genuine
ness. It's purity, and the character OF
Its setting and absolutely as represent
ed. II you do not know diamonds
