Shin waists at this season ought to piovc interesting, and we've
done the veiy best we know how, to make this display especially
worthy of your attention. J
Shirt Waists
This year are different from anything in their line that the world
has yet seen.
The Weaves, the Patterns,
The Cutting, the Making
J:ven the colois have all undergone a transformation which is de
cidedly for the better, as in every point it represents common
seiibe ideas and improvements
Wash Waists
Will actually stand soap, water, starch and ironing this year and
look as well when done up again as they did when they left the
store. That's a good leature. Tlien the cutting, with puffed
Ironts, sensible sleeves, tucked front and sleeves in clusters, bars
or solid wofk gives just enough of style and firmness to insure
the keeping in perfect shape while a tag of the garment remains
As for the patterns, blocks bars, checks, neat, fancy plaids etc
etc., arc the most popular, while the materials, which are various'
have just enough weight in them to make them desirable for
wear throughout the entire long summer.
Our Entire Waist Story
Is of this season's production and has everything in its make up
that 1898 shirt waists for smaitly dressed women oui'ht to have
and, by the way, we have also a full line ot
Shirt Waists For Hisses' Wear
Ages 1 1 to 16 year. Styles and makes exactly the same as their
bigger sisters will wear.

CITY OFFICIALS CRITICIZED.
Few things which partlculaily affect
West Scranton lesldents havu so agi
tated the people on this side lecently
as has the reent ollklal action of
transferring the Columbia chemical ap
paratus fiom lt quartets on this side
to the Nay Aug Engine hoube In the
centinl city.
Though It is very evident that such
nctlon was wananted, yet a feeling
(.ists that the West Side has been crip
phd There seems to lie tho suspicion
that the tianrfei tuny be a permanent
one and ptob.ibly this Is the leal source
of the opposition splilt
City officials explain that tho trans
it r Is not peinianent. The Phoenix
Chemical company No. 1 apparatus Is
being lepulied ns 11 result of 11 colli
sion on the morning of May 19. When
tho nppaiatus was taken out of ser
vice to make thes-e lepalrs, home sub
stitution of a similar kind was abso
lutely neces-cary. No other course than
the one taken wns available and If the
need of a clumical apparatus is great
in West Scranton, that need ta trebled
In the central city.
Much comfott can be gained fiom
the need whidi made this necessary.
It Is now markedly shown that the
depaitment should be possessed ot an
other chemical appatatus.
While tho lire protection necessities
of this side arc being considered, It
might be mentlonable that they may
bo increased soon. Between Svvctlanrt
btieet and Hull's Head, in Nnrth Scran
ton, there is along North Main avenue
a large unpiolected section of lesiden
tlal lenltory. The nearest available
companies tin- the Piankllns and the
Excelsiors, six blocks distant. Another
hose company Is thus seen to be a nec-
C'fcbltJ'.
An nvailable fire company building
site appears in connection with plans
now underway to cover the exposed
poitlon of the Mt. Pleasant ravine. In
time the (llllng-in ptoceto will make
a good sized lot nvailable at a very
desirable point foi a Hie company. The
land at picsent Is controlled by the
Pettlbono estate, but could, no doubt,
bo secured on a icasonnblo basis. A
modem stylo hoso houo could bo
erected theie.
