The story of “The Farmer’s Daughter" which will be the attraction at the Bosse opera house for Friday, Sept. 24, while not a new one to 1 stagedom, has been treated so cleverly by the author, that it has developed into a stage offering of more than usual merit.

The father is unforgiving and casts her from his home. But through the efforts of two kind hearted friends everything turns out right.

Colors were neoer prettier —and there are enough fashionable shades for everyone to find a hscoming one. There seems to be almost a passion for all tones of violet from the deepest purple to the softest and palest shades of lavender; raisin is good, catawba, taupe and slightly deeper tones of blue, brown and gray. These models are made expressly for us and are characteristic Bischof garments. This means more than usual care in tailoring and a positive genius in selecting fabrics, trimming, buttons, etc. This is so important this fall as strong contrasts are extremely fashionable. \ You couldn’t find more attractive garments than these Bischof models. You couldn’t find greater values; better clothes can’t be had. Come in now and you can find many simple moderate priced styles charming. Niblick & Company
