Jaunty new headgear in gay color,

SO many good looking and distinctive

long and carefully over the price,
which seems to grow with the impor-
tance and elegance. Anyway. we must

is aSchoice collection in almost any
Of the places where shoes are sold.
Even mere man, who doesn't 'ac-

to-be-despised characteristic entirely
to the Trailer sex. is going to be
wheedled into buying a new fall suit

cap, because the stores which deal ak

just as much of an effort to show
their best offerings this week. and If
they didA't know that somewhere in
the 'makeupyof every man there Is
just a little bit of vanity regarding
his clothes, they wouldn't trouble
about all Of that, would they?
During the fashion days, special
effort will be made to display goods,
and people of the city generally are
invited by the merchants to call and

Committee members also are talk

compelled TO become members of the

are compelled to be members, but
membership is optional with other in
stitutions and there are about 1900
ehgibles which have never come in.
discussion of this subject has
not taken any definite form. however.
and will o unless war comes.
The principal amendment approx.
