BARGAIN BUYING.

It Is q triumph to purchase a hat
when the season is over, provided
1t is very reasonable In price and is
made uP of good trimmings. The
frame will be dead loss, but the
good trainings can be used time af-
ter time. Often linen dress can
be bought at bargain and it too can
be used with few alterations. It is
hard to pass by tempting offers, but
one should ask whether such articles
can be used another season. Unless
there ia some probability that they
will prove useful, Their is no econo-
my In purchasing them. One woman
recently remarked tina tit was mys-
terry to her no wwomen of the city
ever lost money in purchasing, be-
cause they have so many places to
visit for bargains. The truth Is that
some do not know a bargain, or else
they buy recklessly Of whatever ap-
peals to the eye. Women, as a rule,
are not economical buyers, and the
few 1who are, deserve the greatest
praise.

KEEPING WHITE SHOES.

White canvas shoes should be
washed, rinsed and dipped into deep
blueing water. White kid should be
cleaned with gasoline, naptha or
chloroform, and If not to be used,
should be stuffed with tissue paper,
powdered with talcum powder and
laid away in blue paper in their own
box. The talcum not only whitens
them, but preserves the soft leather,
French chalk, pipe clay, dry -four and
magnesia are the dry cleaners that
may be used when shoes are dusty
and not badly soiled. White tissue
paper can be used to clean white
leather shoes.

Never use silk, for it wears fight

beeswax to make 1t stouter. Place

trading persisted and the cotton pit
remained filled to its capacity even
after business commenced in wheat

Mayor William e. Dover, of Chi

point in the world. The contract
unit is fixed at 100 bales, which APP
proXimates $4,000 pounds of cotton.
