"The college girl of today is so different from those of years ago," one often hears. Judging by the pictures above it is true. These photos from Vassar show the change since the class of 1871 graduated.

KEEP careful account of what you get baked, week by w eek, with Valier's Enterprise Flour. Its great economy will probably surprise you! Enterprise actually goes so much farther. Four loaves more bread to the sack is just merely usual. But most women buy this Flour as much for certainty as for economy. They pay rather more to get a great deal more than they expect from

ordinary flours. Not only more product more satisfaction ! Enterprise is the flour that never varies. So its results never vary, either.
