Combined with the heavier laces
they make very rich decoration
and one that is in great demand for
one-piece summer frocks.
White continues to be extremely
fashionable because well-dressed
women like it. The same. however.
is true, which is liked by stout and
thin women alike. Despite all that
has been said against black and
white combinations, one must recog-
nize fact and the fact is that there
are many black and white effects
among the very smart frocks and
blouses of the season as there are
ether combinations
Dainty frocks Of shadow and
other fine laces are very beautiful,
so are the separate waists of net and
lace Under the waists are worn
Idiaphanous blouses trimmed with
! eolored laees and ribbons that peep
| through in glorious effect. In fact
J in all of the very sheer frocks and
biouses the tendency is to put the
trimmings sderneath, Tather than
tax the tilmy materials with the
i burden OF carrying them.

means, have bolero on one of her

lace in plain and shadow effects is
used for many afternoon and even

draperies. it is impossible to tell OF
the wonderful things accomplished

and Retail Merchants Association
has been appointed by the CONNER
cial Club to formulate plans for the
consolidation OF the three organiza
items.
Ii is said that members of the
Commercial Club. who were in az
tendance at Wednesday night
meeting, were of the unanimous
opinion that the organizations
should consolidate. but several de-
clared they were not convinced Of
the advantages of amalgamation.
fhe advantages that Cairo would
obtain through the consolidation OF
the taree organizations are too num-
erous tc mention. With all interests
united there Is no limit TO benefits
that could be accomplished for the
city: in fact, there is nothing reas-
enable that the organizations could
not accomplish If they would work
as a unit.
What Cairo needs is a live and
progressive organization plugging
for the city every minute of the day.
1t needs an organization that viii
not play sayorites, or hold an in
dignation meeting whenever some
one dares TO speak his mind about
things that are not right.
The three bodies have been doing
excellent work in the interests OF
the city, which is fair indication
that they could do better work II
united.

For Abandoned Children

Of INDECENT, abandoned. delinquent and

receive every child applicant, to give
him bath and clean clothes and then
to investigate his condition. II the
investigation warrants the states in
reference the child Is admitted. Sew.
enteen thousand children were thus
received in 1908. Most of these are
placed out in the country or smaller
cities with farmers or artisans Of
good character and in moderate cir
cumstances. Five reformatories have
been established for delinquent or
absolutely unruly children. They
have room for a thousand inmates,
who live together in family groups Of
20, learning a trade under the super
vision Of the head Of the household.

genuine himself and been mistaken
the same as you was. Anybody's liza
bic to make a mistake. What you
ought to have done was to have took
1t to a good teweler and had It certi-
fed before you paid out any money
on it. You was careless, that's all
there is about 1t.
The other reason why I wouldn't
advise you to set the machinery Of
the law in motion about this here
business, is the principle I was tell
Ing you about. You take this for your
motto: Never make a holler'-not un-
der no circumstances. II you get

can and keep your mouth shut until
you get on some place by yourself
where nobody amt agoing to hear

Anybody's liable to be a sucker some

body to know how shameful he's been

throw a rope on his goat any time
without advertising myself as an easy
mark, I'll do It; II can't, I'll charge
1t up to experience.
You see, I'm a man that likes to
have the good opinion of my friends"
declared the Janitor. I've got the
reputation OF being q pretty flossy
proposition, at least that's what nv
friends tell me, and I'll stand for e
pretty hard poke of the gam before I'll
contradict 'em. II there's any rumors
to the contrary floating around, they
don't come from me. II pick a win.

don't write no indignant letters to
the papers. You'll see 'em come out
of the side show with a happy. salts.
ned smile on their faces, and they
don't go back to tell the ticket seller
that he's shortchanged 'em.
