RRANGEMENTS
Ladies' Spring Attire are now complete, and
during the balance of this week we will be
pleased to welcome visitors who wish to in
spect our purchases. Every possible effort has been put
forward to make this exhibit worthy the attention of the
most fastidious dressers in Scrantou, and the advancement
as regards perfection in labor, selection of materials and ex.
cellence in cut and finish is so marked that it now appears
as though nothing was left to be desired. In fact the pru
dent woman of moderate means who fails to take advantage
of the opportunities offered for perfection of style, certainty
of fitting and practical economy that are now to be found in
a really first-class Cloak and Suit Department does so be
cause she does not fully understand its real benefits.
We had intended saying a word or two on fashion's
uew ways aud fancies, for they are all here; but on second
thought think it is better you should see them aud form
your own conclusion as to their merits and adaptability for
your personal use.
The display now being made inc ludes the latest nov
elties in Ladies' aud Misses' Costumes, Skirts, Waists,
Coats, Shirt Waists, etc., and we are safe in saying that
the revolutionary changes in fashion's decrees since last
year will surprise you.
Everything is now ready for your inspection, A call
from you will be esteemed a favor.

EOR A RAINY DAY.
His Wife's Savings the Means of His
Weathering a Financial Gale.
From tho Detroit Free Piess.
"I don't suppose you have forgotten
the panic of '03," said Dodson. "I
certainly havo not, for I had that un
lucky year impressed upon mo in a way
that I will not soon forget.
"You remember how money disap
peared when tho crash came? Banks
that were fortunate enough to escape
going down In the general crash hoard
ed their money and refused to loan a
cent, even upon the best security.
"I have always made It a, rule never
to talk business with my wife, and she,
poor woman, never knew at the time
the many anxious dayi, that I had
passed, for I tried to conceal my hope
less condition.
"At last It came to a point where I
waq even without a hope and I stag
gered home with bankruptcy staring
mo in tho face. I had made the tight
and lost, nnd then, seeing all the sav
ings of a lifetime swept away. I gave
up like a doomed man to die,, and
knowing that no fate could ward off
the blow.
"I knew that my wife must be told,
so I took her In my arms and broke It
to her as gently as possible.
"For several minutes she said not
a word, and 1 began to fear that the
shock had been too much for her. I
had told her that If I could only raise
a small sum It might see my through
the worst and enable mo to get upon
my feet again.
Finally she spoke 'John.' she said,
'I have always had a presentiment that
some day something might happen, and
whenever I chanced to have a little
money that I thought I would not need
I put it away in one of Willie's dis
carded toy banks, I haven't the sllphit
ust Idea how much there Is, but I have
been adding to It for years. I will get
it and we will count It together.
"I never knew until that incment
how a man feels when he Is reprieved
from under the gallows.
"She placed the bank before me and
I dumped the contents upon the table.
There was a total of 7!l cents, mostly in
pennies.
"It was so comical that I had to
laugh. But that laugh saved me. It
drovo .away the gloomy thoughts which
had surrounded me and I took courage
as?aln to look the situation In the fico
and finally won out.
"1 am still paying my wife her usual
ullowance; but I haven't the face m
ask her if she Is again putting nsldu
for a rainy day."
Paris Not Always First.
The European edition of the Now
York Herald has a long article (repub
lished In New York Herald of March 5)
on the jelatlve nwrlts of China and
Ceylon lea, and how tea Is steeped In
Paris the city which is popularly sup
posed to lead the world In fashions' and
matters of taste. Tho article in ques
tion says:
"China, tea has a coarcer taste, and
you might, under similar circumstances,
think It stronger, but in reality It is
not. It is perfectly certain that Ceylon
tea Is better and morn popular, nnd
can be made stronger than any other
kind u though for ordinary
tastes you would have to uso a Jess
quantity to make a strong cup of tea.
"Ceylon tea. does not require to steep
more than three minutes, while China
tea takesi four minutes. To make tea
nt home, the proper way is to havo
two earthenware teapots, heating oii-
llrst nnd then putting the tea In, pour
Imj freshly boiled water on it, and
steeping as above. Then pour off Hie
tea into the 1 ther tea pot. having the
latter hot and dry. Tea thus mud'
may stund ns lrnifus you like, nnd It Is
always good. Sleeping tea loo long re
leases the tnnnln, which gives the liquid
a pungent, sometimes a bitter tlavor."
This Is given ns a new departure in
the art of tea brewing In gay Paris.
For years "Five o'clock teas" have
been n popular and pleasant social
function in this country, and not only
thero, but at tho dally meals, tea Is
brewed that way. The dainty nnd fas
tidious American ladles learned the art
of "How to make tea" long before their
