enthusiasm. It would be a fine
idea to put sp a rood many bottles
for summer -use; both for pies and
for sauce, and nothing excels grefen
gooseberry preserves. u
.The most potent reason for
early canning is the fact that there
are - no worms in the berry i now,
while Just any day a Ionic may come
a varmint' and stint? them and
spoil them so far as the really fas
tidious appetite i concerned. ,
If possible you should- buy; from
the farmer, or from the stores that
have just received -consignments
from the farmer, as those shipped
In or long in stock have a ten
dency to wilt, which makes the
fruit difficult to relieve of its
blossom. I
, And finally, it is a'patrlotie duty
to eat gooseberries, lots of them,
as the canneries are going to
charge the farmers for canning
them, after the farmer has gone,
to the expense of growing them.

V
f$ind exclusive models designed
and executed ; by artists ot color
and the scissors, whereas a few
years ago they would have paid
two or three times as much.
Some of the courtdressmakers.
this season, have abollbhcd the
old tlmo custom of sales hy ap
pointment only and because of the
keen competition in their-line of
business, are willing to serve cus
