l lt takes but a littje a great ship to sink And it pays to be careful and earnestly think.” . Did you ever call to mind this little motto, how great it would be if we too. would follow in the. steps of the ladies of the Shakespeare club, adopt it as our motto, as they have, for this week’s meting, which was held at the home of Miss Hattie Studabaker this afternoon. “The Church and Stat ” was the subject of today's study.

Good quality in merchandise is really a valuable means of teaching economy. Lots of people go 'through life thinking they’re economical when the [fact is they’re simply low-priced. For a man like that, one experience with our Hart, Sehaffner & Marx clothes'is a liberal education; he learns how much economy there is in real good clothes.
