 parliament in 1885 and became a member of the cabinet in 1889. Early in his career he was affiliated with the radical Socialists, but his services during the late struggle as ami, and as premier since the retire ment of Clemenceau, elevated him to a position in the nation from which it was only a step to the presidency.

Adventures
With QPurSe

T HAVE fairly run back to write about
i these things. for they are specials,
and will last. am pretty sure, not
longer than Wednesday. And so ! come
TO you literally out of breath. to get
these adventures in the paper in time.
First Of all. there are the waists with
Philippine embroidery. The prices arc
originally $3.50 and 1915 But they
have all been reduced TO S67J. These
are not just the usual hand made
blouscs with the fine hcmstitching and
tucks. These are real embroidered
blouScs. Tho collars Of some. for in
stance. have tiny 6ue scallops around
the edges. while the fronts of the waists
ar" decorated with paiustakipgly en-
broidercd sprays and flowers. I even
fict on either side of the collar. Tho
material itself is of finest batistc. And
think of it, S6.75.
The other thing is the iccless refrig-
orator for the woman vino has a small
housekeeping apartment, and has
neither the space nor the need for a
regular ice chest To look at one OF
these surprising refrigcrators you would
be reminded of a beehive made of white
plaster. That then will give you an idea
~
way it works. 1t separates in the mid
die, the top forming a lid. One com
plctely submerges tho refrigerator--or
whatever it might be called---iu cold
water from the spigot this water TO be
! so degrees or less in temperature. /,
remains in the water for three minutes
! after which it is removed, and butter
eggs. milk. fruit or anything you want
to keep cool may then be put in it ant
the lid replaced. The refrigerator is
now positively guaranteed to keep tn,
things in it cool and protected from thu
heat. They come in four sizes and cos
from 500 to $50. II YOU could have
seen the tiocks Of people buying then
you would certainly decide that the!
must be just what you need for thi
summer. Incidentally, there are only ;
few left. and there is no assurance as T.
how soon the shop can obtain a new
supply.
