VEGETABLE SUPPLY
is MOST ABUNDANT
Wholesale Produce Here Is Better
+" Than At Previous Times
This Year.

The supply of produce in the whole
sale market is more abundant than at
any previous time this year
The sidewalks on streets bounding the
Center Market are literally choked with
fruits and vegetables. Hundreds Of bar
rels Of apples and potatoes are piled one
upon another in front Of the commission
houses. and the streets are lined with
pyramids OF white hard Cabbages.
Lettuce. celery, peppers, cranberries,
and parsley are piled before nearly ev-
cry stand, and thousands Of boxes Of
pears and tomatoes are stacked along
the curb. There is also an exceptionally
fine peach market for this time Of year,
the fruit being firm and Of a uniform
quality.
Prices are virtually the same as they
have been for the last two weeks, and
promise to remain steady for some time
yet.
Poultry and eggs are the same, the
supply Of the latter being more than
sufficient for the demand for the first
time In several weeks.

DAILY FASHION TALK TO READERS or THE TrItS

Tor the first cool days Of autumn
nothing Is quite so serviceable as
the separate silk blouse. and the fall
STYLES show many attractive designs.
With pretty silk waist or two, one
need not resort 70 wraps quite so early
as would be necessary with the lingerie
blouse. in addition TO which the silk
blouse will serve upon more formal Oc-
casions than that OF lawn or linen,
which is another point in its favor
An unusually effective type Of blouse
waist is given in the Illustration. This
pattern may be successfully developed
in Chiffon crepe de chine or nessaIine
with a white lace yoke or a vest Of
shirred liberty silk.
Dark blue messaline would develop
prettily by this design. The plated
ruffies could be Of Persian silk. giving
that oriental color design seen on so
many OF the newest fall waists. The
collar and cuffs should be OF the same
material as the waist, or black satin
might be used for the collar. cuffs and
rufaes, as illustrated. with stylish ef-
feet.
This is a Standard pattern, and can
be purchased at Smoot-Jeuen Company.

IND any Of your children ever run
- away? No, I'm sure you never
did. and I hope you never Will But
you can't always tell what squirrels
are going to do. especially when their
names are Billie and Johnnie. Of
course. I'm not saying that If their
names had been something else they
wouldn't have run away from Grand
ma and Grandpa LightfOOt, for can't
be sure of that. Anyhow, Billie and
Johnnie Bushytail ran away. and this
Is how they did it:
In the nest at the top Of the big
tree everything had been going nicely
for some days. Johnnie and Billie
went out day by day and gathered
acorns, nuts and grains OF corn, or
else they got some sweet bark or
some chewing gum from wild cherry
trees They practiced JUMPING and
they washed their faces and hands
and kept their bushy tails in order.
In fact, they were as good squirrels
as they could be. until suddenly an
idea popped into Billie's head.
One day, when everything was as
still And as quiet in the woods as il
is in church when nobody is there.
Billie said TO his brother:
Let's do something"
What shall we dO2' asked Johnnie.
Lets run away" suggested Billie.
"Where2' asked Johnnie. I don't
want to go down to that park in
Newark again, where the fire engines
and the trolley cars make so much
noise"
No, well not go there" agreed Billie.
Where will we go. them"
"Oh. let's run off in the woods. and
see what happens"
What for?' asked Johnnie. Isn't IL
nice here? We have a good nest and
plenty TO eat"
Yes. but nothing ever happens here, 50
complained Billie. Come on, let's run
away. Jennie Chipmunk isn't looking.
grandma is taking a nap. and grandpa
has gone TO the postoffice.'
SO the little squirrel brothers ran
away. Would you believe It? They did.
Yes. sir. they slipped into the nest, got
some nut sandwiches TO take along in
case they got hungry, and ran away.
At first II was lots OF fun. They
jumped about in the trees and saw
many strange sights. They got farther
