CHANGE IS MADE
BY CLYDE LINE
AFTER SEPTEMBER 4 SHIPS WILL
RUN DIRECT BETWEEN NEW
YORK AND BRUNSWICK.

Effective with the steamer Katah-
din sailing from New York September
4, the Clyde Steamship company will
reinstate the schedule in effect last
winter, operating direct steamers be-
tween New York and Brunswick
These steamers will not call at Char
lesion, nor will they continue on to
Jacksonville.
This will have the effect of giving
Brunswick considerable more space
for freight and passengers than was
possible under the summer schedule
and the business outlook is that the
line will have a tremendous business
during the coming season. T. H. Har-
rison, formerly with the Clyde line
at Jacksonville, has been transferred
to Brunswick with the title of travel
ing freight agent and is now actively
engaged in the interior in soliciting
freight for the Brunswick route
The tonnage of the Brunswick line
during the present summer has ex-
ceeded all expectations. During the
month of July the line handled ten
cargoes southbound, aggregating
about 5000 tons; whereas, the north
bound business, which was handled
by fifteen sailings for the one month
of July aggregated almost 10000 tons,
which is the banner month for the
Brunswick line, both in inbound and
outbound freight, and which is as good
a showing as any of the larger South
ern ports have been able to make
during the same period
The only feature of the new sched-
ule that is to be regretted is the los
ing of the passenger service between
Brunswick and Jacksonville and
Brunswick and Charleston. This SER
vice worked out nicely during the
summer time, but with the approach
of winter, weather conditions would
make it impracticable.

his cave. He noticed that before he sat
down Jack Rabbit carefully examined
his usual seat 10 see IL there was dust

he turned constantly toward a broken
bit of mirror which Mister Fox mad
fastened on the wall
Conversation rather Jagged, for Mister
Fox was so impressed with Jack Rab-
bits unusual appearance that he did
not easily find topic on which TO be-
gin. But Jack Rabbit, who was con-
stantly stroking his mustache, finally
broke the silence by saying, Il had a
great compliment yesterday, Mister Fox,

Fox, that others than myself appre-

Garments Worn Out of

Don't wear an evening cape when
out on a shopping expedition. II you
need an outer garment for general
utility purposes have a semi
coat made seven-eighths or full-length
This will serve for evening wear if
you cannot easily afford two, wraps,
but the evening cape always looks out
of place for general wear.
Under this same heading, don't
wear an evening scarf for knock
about purposes either. A handsome
garment worn out OF its proper place
always looks cheap. and in bad taste.
Don't wear colored or fancy, open
work stockings with your street
shoes, always choose plain stockings
to match the shoes in color.
Don't forget to see that your blouse
is properly fastened before leaving
your mirror. The waist gaping open
at the back not only looks careless,
but may cause you some embarrass-
ment, too.
Don't wear shoes or gloves that
have lost their buttons, and never
wear shabby shoes or gloves If you
can possibly avoid it. Keep the
former nicely polished and the heels
straight: keep the buttons on and the
rips mended in the latter.
