The librarians report showed tilt there 'are now , 426 families read iag in Camden and quite a number of tar tourist frieuds already enjoying the privileges 0f the institution. A motion was made and carried that resident readers be requested not to ask for the loan of books of local interest dur ing the tourist season as they h^ve all the year to read them and these books often bring to the library the price of a monthly or a season card. It -was also decided -that the book committed would buy six new books for the rent shelf and that oach member would be allowed to select one. That committee consists of the following: Mesdames A. Aneruni. Wm. Shannon, W. lira t ton M/oaeh. K. von Tresckow, Miss ixaiise Nettles und Mj:. L, T- Mills. They till please hand in their choice to the Bbririan and have the books ordered at once.

And thin year the audience was just ?> brilliantly clad ?m ever and tU?fr seemed to be no relaxation lu the |iomp and ceremony that one invariably con nect# with the flret night at the opera. Ah the curtain rang down on the drat Hi t and the lights blaaed glaringly, many gorgeous costumes came to light, and it may be said tb<?t the mauy precious stouea were worthy of rivaling the in tensity of th? electric blaae. My atteutlon, however, was attracted by the many new and startling head dresses that most of tha von?D wore. Although the contours were all differ ent, the one similar point was in the orientalism that influenced them all. Ouo that be#poke all the mystery of Egypt was of violet chiffou, with a band of pearls laid lightly around the head over the chiffon. A tall, defiant plume of the palest of turquoise coloriug. rest ed with ahundant assurance on the fore^< head and sprouted up to a rath??r un heard-of altitude. Of course the type of women to wear this mujft ho over average height and he a bit arrogant in inanner. Uow ab Hurd to see a petite, pouty little thing in &is regalia ! The Httle person, how ever, is not to be refused the privilege of au orieutal headdress, so for her is the low cop shape arrangement of pearls. A wee bit of chiffon peeps beneath* fall ing over the eyes, and the entire effect is deligb^tolly And distinctively Persian. To have , one's coiffure truly oriental and to wear a gown of the Renaissance would, of coiurae, in its incongruity, be a tnagedy unworthy even of mention. So Dnme Fashion very thoughtfully created ftoino gowns for our smart women that fairly brought the Far Bast within the stately portals of the Metropolitan. The beautiful straight line jof the Eastern mode makes the costume entirely de pendent on*the material and workman ship. ? ; Some of the materials that- I saw far surpassed any dream* that one could have of harmonious eolorb and fantastic designs. For the most part the fab rics wefe heavy brocades and velvets, with luxuriant satins holding their own. One gown that wae the center of the line vrf vision of many was developed in dark blue silk Georgette and blue green velvet. -The Chinese atniosphere. that enveloped this creation was per haps the cause of the tremendous sen sation that it occasioned. Let me men tion that the person that wore the dream of the Bast was a lovely blonde with the skin of a lily. NOTICE.

If a man had an acre of common land given him as a present and he used $10 worth of fertiliser on it he might raise 8-4 of a bale of cotton and 760 pounds of seed on it. Selling his cot ton at 27 cents per pound and seed at |68 per ton he would receive for his crop $120.75 per WUV Now suppose he bought land which would make a bale and a half an acre and 1600 pounds of seed, using the same amount of ?fertiliser. Tie would then receive $283.00 per acre for 10s crop. This is $126.76 per acre in favor, of the better land and this sum would pay 7 per cent interest for one year on $1807. ~ . Would not Ihts sum $1807 fairly rep* resent the value of the better land in comparison to the poorer acre. Why not buy good land? ' Ifwinit nf fflMan ? ws wtwn vwwiiiuwvi ? .
