Be Careful When Gathering
Wild Flowers in the
Thickets in the
Woods
Mixed among the little beauties and the big
belles of flowering bush are poison vines, hen
bane, nightshade and saw-edged wild grasses,
and sometimes marshy places where the mud
will hold you by both feet.
Mind your steps in forests and elsewhere
as well.
A gale, not of wind, but of fire, in the little
village, burned down a hundred-roomed hotel
with all its furniture and nearly all its contents
in a scant half hour at midnight.
. If you sleep in a wooden hotel while travel
ing, be sure of how you are to get out the quick
est and safest way, and go to sleep with a heavy
wrapper at your side in case you are obliged to
sit on the roadside until daylight.
This Store is easy to get into and to get out
of, and you can drive ordinary furniture cars
and a pair of horses in and out eight of the ten
entrances and exits.

T1SXIIASALEIEA1S
Haven't you often heard women say: "Half my enjoy
ment of a meal defends on the appointments of the table" ?
We all feel the same way, more or less.
The experienced hostess regards nothing as super
seding the excellence of her table service. That does not
mean that she buys the most expensive china and glass
that she can afford, but that she chooses it with care and
good taste and makes sure that no cracked or nicked
pieces come on the table.
This September Sale of China provides an opportunity
to get a handsome new dinner service or sparkling new
cut glass at prices that are not only moderate in the first
place, but much below regular.
The prices on the following groups represent savings
of a fourth to a third :
French dinner sets, $25 to $175.
English dinner sets, $25 to $75.
Japanese dinner sets, $20 to $50.
American dinner sets, $13.50 to $40.
