Vudor Porch Shades make this possible ; they keep out the, hot sun, but admit the cool, refreshing breeze. They can be instantly raised or lowered, with very litde effort.; They are light, but exceedingly‘durable, being constructed of| thin strips of Linden wood fibre woven with the strongest seine | twine. Their moderate price puts them within the reach of everyone i who can afford to have a porch at all, The cost is insignificant j in comparison with their utility and the added comfort and; pleasure they afford. Think of the many pleasant hours you can spend on your porch during the hot, stifling days in summer if it is equipped with these shades! And then ask yourself, can you afford to be with out Vudor Porch Shades this summer? Then in connection with Shades you should have a Vudor Hammock—the best made. Come and see them.

The embarrassed butchers dropped knives and cleavers and blocked the front entrance to see what was going on. The proprietor and his assistants, when they learned what was wanted, showed the young women how the dif ferent cuts are made and how meat is prepared for the work of the cook. The butchers also pointed out the choicest pieces of meat. Before the class left steaks and chops were bought by the members and were taken to the church kitchen, where they were cooked. A feast followed.
