commenced Saturday with the

fiohl, silver. Iron, mercury, copper,
tin and lead. There were also seven
days In a week ami seven colors in a
minnow. There were twelve sins in
the zodiac, twelve monlhs in the year,
twelve precious stones, ami twelve

crucibles and retorts.
Lairing ati age when superstition

to be accused of being a sorcerer was
generally followed by burning at the

"Well, I should say that I have," rt

"Who Was Beau Brummei"
Do You Know?
lie was for many years the favorite of King George IV, ot England and the
best dresser of his time. "The Beau" was not a dandy as we know the term
in fact Lord Byron said of him that there "was nothing remarkable about
his-dress except a certain exquisite propriety,"
He naturally led the men's fashionsand no more celebrated character ever
lived ever had so much influence on men's dress as did Beau Brummel.
The Beau Brummel Shirt
is, like its namesake, noted for its exquisite propriety its perfection in style,
pattern, fit and splendid workmanship.
It is typical of the master of dress for whom it was named and you will say so
as soon as you see one of these fine, really beautiful garments.
When you put one on your back when you see how splendidly it adds to your
dress; how it refines your appearance with a quiet elegance then you will be
a convert to this better sihirt.
Come in and let us show you the line we believe it will be much to your inter
estyes, to your great advantage.
