The styles for misies accord
well with the undefined fignrer-

color schemes for growing girlt

this particular season, but they
are not too conspicuous. An ad
mirable design for snmmer after-
noon wear at fashionable resort*

silk; ruffles of the material, nar-
row ribbon bows and lace
edging provide the ornamenta

and renders it suitable for formal
visits and various ceremonious
functions. The novel features of
the waist are the tly fronts, the
mushroom puff* at the top of the
coat shaped sleeves, and the
epaulette frills, which fall with
charming grace over the top of the
puffs. Four gores are comprised
in the skirt.

Your Choice of Any of the
Highest Grade 8100 Bicy-
les, 1897 Model, Free of
Cost by Using Some of
Your Spare Moments.
The great strides made by the
New York Times within the last
few months form a notable chap-
ter in American journalism.
During a period of general busi-
ness depression the New iork
Times has made steady progress
having within six months nearly
doubled its circulation. This
growth, while indeed gratifying,
serves only to stimulate the man-
agement to greater efforts. With
a view to the introduction of the
New York Times in homes where
it is not now received, where the
improvement that has been made
may not he known, a plan has
been devised to reward those who
may assist in the work of increas-
ing its circulation by offering to
any man, woman or child any one
of the standard high grade one
hundred dollar bicycles, 18!>7
model, if they will secure one
hundred (100) new subscribers
for the New York Times, each for
three months—$3 if delivered by
carrier; $2.50 if sent by mail.
That no effort to increase the cir-
culation of the New York Times
may go unrewarded to those who
find they can not secure iuoie than
fifty subscribers for three months
each, the choice will be given of
any fifty dollar (retail price) bi-
cycle, American manufacture, and
to those who in their efforts fall
short of fifty subscribers there
will be paid 50 cents in cash foi
every subscribor less than fifty.
Remember you can have your
choice of any bicycle of American
manufacture.
Any person desiring to under
take the work of securing 100 sub-
scribers should notify the New
York Times, and full instiuctions
and blanks will be furnished.
Under no circumstances will ii
subscription be accepted as mak
ing up the number required ol
any person who has been a regu
!ar reader oi the New York Timet
since January 1, 1897. All list;
will be investigated, and if it i
found they include the name o
any person who has recently l>e<-i
:» regular reader, that subseiiji
rion will not be accepted to makt
;ip the list of 100.
It is distinctly understood tha!
ill lists of names are subject t<
verification. All copies of tin
New York Times ordered undei
this plan must be delivered where
the Times has not heretofore been
received. The offer is intended
solely for new subscriptions, and
orders from present regular read-
ers of the New York Times will,
under no circumstances, be ac-
cepted in making up the required
number.
Orders for the delivery of two
copies to the same address will
uot be accepted as two new sub-
scribers. The purpose of the
Times is to obtain a wider distri-
bution of its issues in homes where
it has not heretofore been deliv-
ered.

Dear Sirs • — I have made a careful
chemical analysis of the Kitchen yueen
Baking Powder, purchased in the market.
It belongs to the most healthful and effi-
cient class of baking powders manufactur-
ed.
Those baking powders are best which—
(1) Keep best.
(a) Give off most regularly the largest
amount of leavening gas.
C3> Leave less residual matter in the
bread, and this of the most healthful
kind. f
I have carefully compared the " kit-
CHEN gUEEN " with the leading baking
powders on the market. None surpass it
on any of these points and it is superior
to many.
I take pleasure in saying, by way of en-
couragement to Texas manufacturers and
for the benefit of the consuming public,
that the Kitchen Oueen Baking Powder
is as near an ideal baking powder as has
ever come to my notice. Respectfully,' "
