In 1910, before the land comprising the County Court House te was thought of for that purpose, it was assessed at $3,600,000.

CHoatcively,) “my NEW ordinance which forbids the carrying of wild flowers through a park without a permit from the Park Commis- sioner has surprised the motorists. The police often find it hard to tell whether flowers have been picked in the parks or brought in from outside—hence the new rule. May it do more than protect the parka. May it discourage auto- ‘mobilists who make wholesale raids on the countryside for flowers and foliage. Before the motor car came people walked or drove into the coun- try, gathered a few armfuls of blossoms or ferns and no harm was done. But now the motorist piles his car full of blooming apple boughs torn from eomehody’s orchard, tears young trees to pieces for their “green,” and leaves devastation and death along the roadside.

OW Is the time to select the ma- terial for your next summer's tub frocks, The shops are re- plete with attractive fabrics, and, as the stocks are now complete, as well as entirely new, the chances for a satisfactory selection are decidedly better than they will be at any time later in the season, The woman who must select her dresses with an eye to the future would do well to plan a few frocks of the new crisp cottons. There is a positive trend toward self-supporting weaves, probably the natural result of the prevailing modes—fluffy ruffies and rippling skirts, And while the clinging crepes, soft volles and other eupple fabrics will continue to be very fashionable during the summer, the indications are that thelr supremacy will wane with the season and in an- other year will be entirely superseded by the orlsp weaves having sufficient dressing to give light and airy ef- fects. In this class the organdies hold a high place, and the shops are sliow- ing @ large line of those pretty cot- tons In attractive floral patterns. In dawns, dimities and batistes there are algo large assortments to select from In the softer materials have a strong hold on pop and whether in embroidered thrures| or printed patterns they ure fashion- able, Volles, especially in the printed forms, are still greatly favored. Lin- ens will probably be scarce later on, | but just now there are plenty to select from. In the novelty weaves there are the Cossack nen and the covert jinen that make up into such smart suits, and where a fabric with body is Che piques, cotton ford cords to select from.

In fancy white cottons the favorite snow flake pat terns, known as neige, are again very popular, And then there are the corda, checks and stripes, Those carried out in groups and irregular effects that make up into such charming fvucks axe prominent, solicitations for her happiness more than ever, Anything to save her dis-| comfort or tial was his pleasure. | Many a morning he would rise eariy, Ket his own breakfast and stare on | tu Work, Whistling, because he was doing someting lo help a He never forgot the Howers or the | candy, or the virtiday, or the wed- ding aniversary, Ho buttoned her | shoes and her dresses and went on} little shoping tours for her, He | In @ word, he anticipated her every want and whim.
