Tree advertising, in the generally ac
cepted sense of that term, says the
Columbus Citizen, is not the most de
sirable kind; but it is nevertheless a
fact that the great bulk of paid news
puper advertising costs the advertiser
nothing. That is to suy. it Indirectly
returns to him not only the amount In
vested, but u pro'.lt in which the whole
community shares.
The bulk of newspaper advertising
is placed by merchants. The money It
costs Is paid almost wholly In salaries
and Incidentals to Individual In the
community In which the advertiser re
sides, so that his return is not wholly
from the general trade he seeks, but
also the Injection of this amount of
money Into the trade of his community,
with the result of enlarging it, perpet
uating it and multiplying its resources
in all forms of industry.
The merchant feels the pulse of pros
perous or adverse conditions more del
icately than almost any other member
of the community. Newspapers pay
by far the larger portion of expenses
in building up the community. Their
investment Is not nearly as great In
machinery, stock and other forms of
tangible property as in brains and
brawn.
That Is the reason why money spent
with them by local merchants bring?
two-fold returns in the present and the
future.

combined to make this fan a perfect
gem of its kind. Seen lu one light,
the fan was magenta, pink aud purple.
Seen lu another, it was light blue, dark
blue aud purple.
A heart shaped fan was composed
of the brilliant bronze-green feathers
of the peacock. This had a line of
white; t'.'.e edge was finished with
brown. These fans are ull of the fold,

The partridge fan wan all tones of
brown, from the faintest ashen hue
to the tawuy russet. On one side was
mounted lu delicate perfection the head
of a partridge. When the fan was

cluster of feathers.
The pheasant fan was a very effec

When a mun'e love is strong It does
the same, and. as the records of every

The ltevlval of Sachet liana.
The old fashion of wearing sachet
bags is being revived. The bags are
now heart-shaped, and are suspended
by the same shade of baby ribbon.
Sometimes different colors are com
bined to give the rainbow hues so
much sought for. Larger sachet bags,
oblong and heart shape, are suspend
ed with good effect, and they exhale
a delicate fragrance that Is refreshing.
It Is quite the fad to attach these
sachet bags to coat hangers in the
same color with which they are cov
ered. They are fastened at each end
of the banger, and dangle at all surf

styles lu table linens no less than lo
bonnets. The satin damasks are ex
quisite in pattern und In weave, and
the -new motifs for borders are really
the work of artists, says the Pittsburg
Chronicle Telegraph.
To accompany these beautiful thing

iettes In German raised embroidery
aud open work. Iq the meantime a
change Is rung over the damask and
the lace cloth by the exquisite cloth
of linen Inset and bordered with Clunjr.

madras nets, tambour muslins, soft
Indian silk, to brocade in all their
