NEW BUILDING. Say, Mr. Smith, did you notice my new building going up?” “Yes, where did you buy your material?” “Why, 1 bought from the Lakeland Manufacturing Co. They sell every- thing you need to build a house and will surely treat you right.” ¢ - it THE LURE OF THE SHIRTWAIST. When the first days of spring come women go back to thin white blouses with joy, even if it adds to the laun- dry bill and absorbs hours @ month of their time, for, mark you, & white shirtwaist is not a garment that can be slipped on and oft without regara to details. There is no douby that ithe pres ent tendency is toward simplicity when the blouse is tor everydey wear and toward expensive elaboration when it is tor best wear The everyday ones arc made of marquisette, of scrim—and this is quite a new and satisfactory material for waists— of handkerchief linen, of Paris muslin, and of Fropek nain- s0ok. The linen ones ave not popular as they were, because they are so diflicult to keep smooth, The ornamental blouses are some- down the back, bt fastened up H times fastened the everyday the front, Crochet, pearl, and crys- tal buttons are again used, and the frill has not departed, as was prophi- ones are esied, 1t is not as wide as it was Jast summer and is sharply graded off before it reaches the waist dine, It is made of the material and 2dged with lace or buttosholed scallops. The kimono sleeve has given way to the long plain one, which is put into an armhole that hangs well bz low its normal position, Yet many of the sleeves really begin as orien- tal, then change their minds after they have gone four or five inches, and decide to become mid-Victorian ANSWER IT HONESTLY. Are the Statements of Lakeland Citi- zens Not More Reliable Than Those of Utter Strangers? This is a vital question. It is fraught with interest to Lake- It permits of only one answer.
