Imperial Outfits Find Prompt Favor In
FL PasO Homes.
There has been a steady call for the
new outfits of Imperial patterns at The
Herald office. The outfits make en-
broidey transfers by a new process,
an art that any girl may follow with
profit and pleasure, in all the latest
designs for the decoration of fabrics,
lingerie, or any other articles that lend
themselves to its application. Not only
were young ladies in evidence today
as eager buyers, but young girls, old
women and men Of all ages. Hundreds
Of packets on the opening day were
handed across the counter to satisfied
purchasers who qualified by presenting
embroidery coupons clipped from "The
Herald and So cents in cash for each
Imperial pattern outfit.
As every woman knows that in the

often more, the enormous demand for
the Imperial outfit which besides the
largest assortment Of designs, includes
an all metal patent spring hoop, and
q booklet Of Instructions will seem to
her quite natural and a foregone con-
clusion 20 be expected from an offer
so unique and advantageous to every
lady in tn Gland.
Out Of town patrons are required to
add cents to pay postage for the
mailing Of their packet, but this extra
does not appear to affect the demand
as mail orders are pouring in BY the
hundreds, no doubt largely caused by
the patent fact, that the opportunity
may never occur again by which such
an assortment of latest style embrof-
oery patterns can be obtained for IS
cents.

The dentist did his best to relieve
my sufferings. He manicured those
teeth until he was sick and tired of it.
He plugged them with cement and
doped them with oil of cloves and
sprayed them to keep the San Jose
scale off, and exhausted all the re-
sources Of science, but they kept on
aching as though nothing had hap
pened. 1t was the oldfashioned jump
ing toothache, and every jump seemed
to dislocate my backbone
That dentist, who was a worthy
man. and who talked for my own good,
begged and implOred me to have the
back number Snags extracted and have
a set of false teeth adjusted to my
most chumps, and would rather suffer
for years than invest in false teeth.
1t was just pure chuckle-headed van
ity. Finally my wife threatened to
get a divorce if I didn't quit having
the toOthache, and did what the den
fist had been urging so long. And
nothing that I ever bought has given
me so much satisfaction as these cellu-
lOid teeth. You don't know what a
luxury it is to have your mouth filled
with teeth that don't ache when you
take q drink OF ice water, or bite on
chunk of solder that came from a can
Of tomatoes.
Il often wish that other organs as
good as false teeth could be invented
and placed on the market. These eyes
1 have been wearing all my life are
about worn out and I'd be mighty glad
if I could go to the Racket store and
buy a couple Of vuIcanized rubber eyes

try to read the newspaper. And my
