a rather large size but is very dainty

Rompers for small boys and girls
alike. made OF tan linen, are as much of
a boon to a child as they are to the

dry and help to make strong, healthy
children. A department store at the
corner of Eighth street and Market
spaos Is selling tan linen at 1211 cents
