The egg and vegetable merchant who
in this vicinity a short time ago in
the way Of buncoing the good house.
wives of several families, seems to be
just at present taking a rest from his
labors, but 1t is reported that he has
been succeeded by the crooked wood
merchant who has revived an old trick
which has worked several years. Ac-
cording to report. the wood merchant
made his appearance last Saturday
over on Stone street, and although his
method of procedure was a little diff
ferent from that which he followed a
year or two ago the outcome was about
the same so far as his victim was
concerned. Saturday he was using a
hard luck story and at least in one in
stance it worked. AS the housewife
appeared at the door in answer to his
knock he told her his sled load of
wood had broken down a short distance
down the street and asked If she would
not buy the load so that he would
not be put to the trouble of getting
another sled and transferring the load.
When asked about the load he said
that it was nice hard wood-almost
four feet of 1t, and that rather than
to take the trouble to load 1t on an
other sled he would sell it to her for
$3.50. The trade looked good to her
and she bought the wood. Then the
man brought the wood into the shed
and getting his pay for 1t departed.
The trick was exposed however when
the man of the house came home and
on measuring the wood, which was a
very inferior lot, found that there was
less than a foot Of It

shown Tuesday along Water street.
and from early morning throughout
the day Augusta merchants were busy.
Previous to Tuesday it had been rather
quiet for Christmas time, but with
the great holiday only few days off
the people got the Christmas spirit
Tuesday in great shape and visitors
in the city were many. OF course a
lot of people came into town on the
trolley cars but at the same time
there were many others who live off
the line of the cars and who awak-
ened Tuesday morning to find the
opportunity awaiting them to make
the trip to the city and at the same
time enjoy a sleighride, one of the
first they have had this winter. And
SO they came. and the result was that
the merchants along the street enjoyed
one of the big days of the season. 1t
is expected that another rush will be
on today and also Thursday.

Chicago Suffragettes Parade

Chicago, May 2.-Several thousand
suffragettes were to march in Michi-
gan avenue late today in the first
big suffrage parade ever held in Chi
cago.
Each of the marchers was to wear
white suffrage bonnet" with the
word "Illinois" fluttering on streamers
white shirtwaists, and dark skirts.
Invitations were sent to several male
political organizations but suffragettes
do not expect to see many male
marchers in the. parade.
The start of the parade, originally
set for shortly after noon was post
poned to give working girls chance
to participate. Governor Dunno and
several legislators who actively sup
ported the woman suffrage bill in
Illinois, will review the parade from
stand near the art institute. Chief
of Police Gleason promised ample
protection.

They quantity resemble the old style
pantalets as they peep out from un-
der the short ruche-edged taffeta

deed far cry from the petticoat
of yore.
Indeed, in spite of the feet that
they really are petticoats, they are

SISQS, you must never MAKE InS
shocking mistake of calling a sepa-
rate waist a waist-mercy no, Claris-
sa, it's a blouse. Whatever is in 6
name in this case, there isn't much
in q blouse when it comes to- the ma
terial. Just two layers of chiffon
or a single thickness, or, rather, thin
ness, of book muslin hemstitched
around the open throat line, down
the front and around the plain three
quarter slightly flarihg sleeves makes
up some of the choicest new models.
For an ornate touch they rely
on fantastic girdle and gorgeously
tinted, usually with vestee, cuffs and
collar of handkerchief linen promise
great popularity for the summer.

more tailored blouses and those to be

since every woman seems to have
every button tackled on to every avail
able space or Granny of some one Or
two of her summer costumes.
Jet b1ttons are very smart on
frocks and suits of buff-toned tai

in the same taffeta as the gown are
the chosen trimming in straight
row down the center of the new
tight-fitting basque models. Cord but
tons are also favorite garnishment,
particularly on voile and other cot
ton frock material frocks.
Your dress may lack a few little
essentials like sleeves or even a whole
