Of insistent rumnrs that Finland and
Poland have made a secret agreement
that neither will complete separate
peace with the BOlsheviki until the two
countries reach perfect understand

union, in which the two countries would
be the backbone.
Letvia, Esthonia and Lithuania. be

have regarded them with suspicion. and
Poland's aggressive action against
Iithuania has added to this dstrust.
The three small countries, however.
are so fearful of the Bolsheviki that
they realize they cannot stand alone.
and it seemed likely the organization
of Baltic Union may be effected soon.
Lithuanians are greatly agitated by the
announcement by Polish authorities

against Wilma to dislodge General
Zelgouski and his troops, the action
of whom in occupying wilma has been
disayowed by the Warsaw government.

MAN. a man is looking just
V now for reasonably priced
suit. Perhaps he has here
tofore had his suits custom tailored,
but has decided that he cannot afford
tailor-made suit this season. But
there is no reason why he should not
have suit made to his individual
measurement at reasonable price.
There is the store of Chas. Adams
Co., at 1917 Chestnut Street, which
is, you know, n firm of custom tai
lors. They have a particularly in
tercsting variety Of materials in the
most desirable autumn colors-
greens, browns, blues-and they are
making their suits at prices well
within the reach of the average
business man. Having made a for
tunate purchase of woolen goods,
they are now making suits and over
coats as low as S25 and S35.
IN THE matter Of choosing an
engagement ring it is all-impor-
tant to be certain of the quality
OF the stone and the Workmanship
that makes or mars its setting. or
course, one desires both to be of the
very best, and that is why so many
fair brides-to-be rejoice in the fact
that their rings have come from the
store Of Bailey, Banks & Biddle
Company. There are some exquisite
new rings at Bailey's-one particu-
!arly lovely ring has its diamond set
IN a hexagonal-shaped mounting.

beauty. Another ring which is
much in favor has square setting.
