net" But the first days Of spring.

ping tour II even if she doesn't
buy anything but new chintz hang

new things, added to those already
on hand. and which in themselves
were attractive, that it is Il, great

I desks. candlesticks, lamps, and in
+ fact all details of furnishing for the
room may be procured.

pear in the cold light of day, will be
softened and made livable and at
t~ractive by the aid of n prettily shad-

: turned out in such variety that any
taste or purse could be satisfied. The
local furniture dealers have on hand
an excellent line of these lamps. and
many of them have new shades that

local furniture houses, and one OF
these houses is showing n most COM

the woman who lives in n room. 1t

mattress-two things not found usu-

spring advances. Whatever may be
needed along this line may be found
without difficulty in The local shops.
Music stores cater to the taste of
