Evening Chat
How About II.

want you to pay particular atten-
ton to various stories which are be-
ing tucked in different parts of the
papers these days on the overall and
apron Clubs" In some parts of the
country men have appeared in over.
aus noth to business and evening
functions, and few women are an
peartng in aprons, though the women.
pelng bit vain when it comes TO
Wearing apparel, will drag along be-
hind, of course.
Now I'd love to see. the men of
Fairmont dolled up in denim oyeralls.
tnopgh It might be just as we'll to
speak OF the matter in whispers until
the time Is ripe here, as once the deal
ers get wise, the price of denim and
4 oyeralls will rise to the skies. In one
city near here several men dubbed
together and went into a store to buy
oyeralls and by night those nifty ex-
termity coverings had scared to three
times the morning price. Not that
Fairmont merchants would do thing
of that kind!
Wouldn't Fairmont lawyers and
Judges and doctors and others look
tne In denim? Think what a saving
during the summer months, and
wouldn't it be nice and cool? What
lot of fun the men folks would have
besides. I'm in favor of it all around.
Aren't you?
Now how about the aprons? Well
since You insist, I'm willin' II the
arestll do it-but I'm frank in stating
that all sizes of the gentle sex won't
look alike in the things. Take the
slim ones. They'll look like broom
sticks lost in the laundry bag. Take
the fat ladies. They'll be such funny
barrels of humanity. Only the mid
die sized girls will get away with it
properly and these will look so fetch
tng-so utterly dear and cunning and
kissable that I'm afraid it will start
something in Fairmont we can't fin

News About Our
Saturday Night
S A L E

T Asst Saturday from 6 until 9
II P. M. the second of. our
Saturday Night Sales" proved
to be, probably, the most inter-
esting merchandising event we
have offered in many a year.
dresses selected from our regu-
lar stocks were sold at half their
regular prices. Hats regularly
worth $40 or so were sold at
1896. Waists and petticoats at
the low price of $1.15 (grades
you wouldn't be able to dupli-
cate for $500 or $2.50) went just
about as fast as we could wrap
them up. We give this bit Of
news as proof of the remarkable
excellence of our Saturday
Night Sale offerings. 1t would
seem that they are meeting the
popular demand for savings.
Just at this moment we have
not completed the list of bar
gains for next Saturday night,
April Path, but we promise a.
highly interesting time to those
who want good merchandise at
prices much below the average.
The offerings will be announced
later in the week. 4

 There is no one authorized to regis ter voters except at the city hall, at the school administration building on North First avenue and at the Carne- gie library. One who thinks that he or she may be registered anywhere else than at one of these three places will discover that that is not the case when they go to the polls. Their names will not be on the list
 The registration is still short of the 1000 mark of a year ago, though it is closely approaching it. There are only two days more for registration. The list at the city hall will be kept open until o'clock, as it has been since the re-opening of the list, and tomor- row night until midnight. It is ex- pected there will be a heavy registra- ton the last day, tomorrow.
