I m WILLIS & CO. [Ring out the old! Ring in the- new!” At no time in the year do the poet’s inspired lines fall upon the ear more pleasantly, and although the poem itself embraces so much of Old Fath er Winter, yet methinks it must have been inspired by anticipations of our present Goddess, “Fair Spring”. “Ring out the old,!” and that is just what “Dame Fashion” proposes to do, and as her subjects, we must bow before her fairy sway. “Ring in the new!”, again we obey iou. “Fair Dame!” From the Eastern Markets—From the very Throne of Fashion herself LADIES SHOES.

We like to have forgotton tv tell you about our fishing- The writer and another girl went fishing down on Turkey creek the other day. We were fishing along in the swift water when I thought I had a bite. Of course I jerked away hard enough to pull a very large fish out. As usual, my hook lodged in the top of a tree covered with vines. I just couldn’t get it down and I didnt have another hook. My companion suggested that I break it and make me a bent pin hook. I didnt like the idea at all and refused. Finally I had to break the hook to get my line, hut I wouldn’t try the pin. So my companion gave me hers and made her another. About the time she rock out of the hole where she was fishing and suggested that we move on or we might hang a moun tain in that place! She caught two or three nice fish with her pin hook, while I, with the good hook, could only catch minnows. ’Twas not long before I had broken that one too and had to make me a „ , i • .*n .
