Dress Fabrics
AT THE LADIES' STORE,
Preparatory to the beginning of Fall busi-
ness and the opening of the Dressmaking
Department (which will begin work under
Miss Slade's direction the first week of Sep-
tember) we have gathered an unusually
beautiful collection of Dress Fabrics and
Trininiings, including all the things that
have received Fashion's stamp of approval,
Paris and New Yolk.. The new stocks
include goods of every grade, and an extra
effort has been made to secure for customers
the choicest values in Staples and Fancy
Fabrics from inexpensive good to the high-
est price novelties.

AT AUGUST ENO.
The, summer folds its hands with sense
of rest,
An emblem of old age that sits in
peace
O'ershadowed by its noonday warmth
and bloom
That deeds sown early reaped in rich
increase,
Long are her dreams of spring when
leaf was gaeen,
Of burning strugle and of tender rain,
And now, repose -God's benediction
smile -
And glimpse beyond of harvest fields of
grain.
When age Domes on to parch my growth
of years,
May, also, I be calm in life's content ;
Secure the blossoms of my days have
reached
Nearer the skies because of past strength
spent;
God of all times, give me of summer's
peace,
That promises of spring shall be ful-
filled;
When autumn comes I pray my deeds
may fall
To nourish earth as thou in wisdom
willed.
-Edith Livingston Smith, in New York
