 The mother between sobs implored he judge to grant her the custody Of her tiny child The pretty girl wife who found life intolerabla with her husband and sought refuge in Valley Heights with Mrs Ella Smiley. pleaded with the court as only mother would plead for her own. She testified that she had been la good mothe,. and Mrs. Smiley who is the mother of seven children, cor ro3orated her testimony. She is q perfect slave to her little girl, your honor" said Mrs Smiley.
 De Sues formerly worked for a i dye works in this city. but has been lucmpioyed recently. He accused his ] wife of a number of offenses. lalthough he appeared willing to take ] her back if h1 so doing he would gain his daughter
 l Mrs. De Sues would not consider returning to the man she charged with being insanely jealous and hav- i ing beaten her
 The evidence is SO conflicting. l announced Judge Stanford. that the

The Toy Store has just had the good fortune to receive very Joily new idea in auto coasters for tots. Look for all the world like real autos toutly constructed-al wood. How the kiddies will love them. Priced 4.e5 (4th Floor) We asked the manager of the Fur niture Store the other day why 1t was that he didn't request more ad- vertising space to push his porch furniture business. He replied: T really don't need it. My stocks are lower now than they ever were so early in the summer, and think IL is entirely due to the porch furni- ture pergola which stretches across the entire expanse of my floor Doubtlessly he is right, for surely no prettier setting was ever con structed to make porch tlrniture appear natural end at ease.
 (3d FIoor) ' Our Mail Order Dept. has been re- moved to a temporary location on the fourth floor. We make this an- nouncement so that those of our patrons who have availed them selves of the convenience of having the Mail Order Department take care of personal packages to be mailed to soldier boys and friends in other cities We will announce the permanent location of the Mail Order Department later.
 (4th FIoor) "L. J. & l.. luggage"-a word to the traveller should be sufficient. l.. J. & l.. luggage means luggage of quality at a sensible price. The splendid trunks are on the fourth floor and the hand bags and suit cases and overnight bags for men and women are on the main floor. Stores have their favorites just as do individuals. And it seems to the writer that Jack Tar middies and Jack Tar togs for little girls and Jack Tar outing dresses for pig sisters are the favorltes ln tnls store. a
 Our display manager says he sim ply loves to give them window space, and i've" never refuse them anything they ask in the advertls- ing office. They are all quality.

Help! The Red Cross

A contribution made to this noble cause is the worthiest that you could possibly make. You bought Liberty Bonds? Good for you but that was not contribution simply wise and safe investment on which you will realize every year. In the New York Stock Exchange Liberty Bonds are already selling at a premium.
 And speaking of Liberty Bonds--they will make an ideal Red Cross contribution. The Red Cross Association will accept them just as gratefully as cash-for they actually rep resent just so much cash.
 Your country is at war
 Her young men will soon be on the firing line. Many of them will be sorely wounded and were it not for the organization known as the Red Cross they would lie bleeding and torn, unattended on foreign battlefield. The Red Cross workers give more than mon- ey-they sacrifice their lives, their comfort, their health-everything
 Surely you can contribute sum that will ma- terially help in this great work without any sacrifice.

 White and colored handker- chiefs of splendid quality crepe de chine with corners em- broidered, or perfectly plain handkerchiefs void of all orna- mentation. The plain ones are especially pretty in Nile green, light blue, pink, lavender and maize. (Main FIoor)
