on Tuesday the question discussed was,
when II is proper for men to wear even
ing dress. and today the query is, when
should women wear evening froclSs, that
Is, the low-cut evening gown The same
rule which holds for the man does not
hold for the woman.
These rules change according TO GUS
tom; several years ago 1t would have
been very bad form for women 10 wear
low-cut gowns in the afternoon. and even
those who received at afternoon teas and
receptions never wore low-neclSed gowns,
now they are the proper thing 10 wear
when receiving. But the guests should
not wear low fToeks 20 afternoon affairs.
The correct dress for an afternoon tea
may be either q tailored suit and funny
waist. or a one-piece gown. 1t Is always
proper TO wear evening gowns 10 dinners.
Hats are not worn to dinners or dances.

ANNOUNCEMENT

Although our partons were not aware of the fact, nevertheless they have chosen for us the brand of confectionery that we shall cat- " in stock. For several months pas we have been receiving sam ples from various Pacific Coast con- fectiouers, and our friends and patrons have been invited to test these samples. The decision, with out one single exception was that A. & K. candy was the best. AL most every one declared delicious
 Having thus rendered a decision as to what candy was preferred, we entered into negotiations with A & K. and after much correspond ence we secured from them the eG- elusive agency in Skagway, for their products. Not only did we se- cure the agency for their package goods. such as Chocolate Butte: Crisp and Victoria Chocalotes," :" but we induced them to sidestep a rule Lud sell us their entire line CT choice bulk chocolates.
 We therefore announce that for the first time since A. & K. have entered the confectionery business, we are the only store that has ev- CT sold their chocolates in bulE and we are proud to state that from this time on you will be able tc get all varieties of Augustine & llyers candies in quantities to suit yoGr appetite and purse.
 The price will be 50 cents per pound or traction thereof for the bulk chocolates, and you will at al. times be sold only that which is fresh. This price is the same that you would pay for the same goods if you were to step into the Az k :t%re in Seattle.
 If you have not sampled this candy, you are cordially invited to cali and try it. Keller Bros. Drug Company.

with which TO build their homes,
