plies, but a very large percentage of men's apparel is pur.
chased by women, and most of tlle repairs and decorations
are planned by tlle wonieu of a household.
Before going to the city to buy, most woiiicil read‘ tlle :zd- “
vertisenlents carefully. If they are going to buy dress goods,
the dress goods advertiseinents especially attract them. If
tlley are going to buy shoes, they look for tile slloe adver-
tisement. Whatevcr tllcy are going to buy they look for in
the newspapers.
If our merchants want their business and to keep their
money right in Ardmore, tell them about your goods through
the columns of your local paper. The "Ardniore Chronicle"
goes into the homes of the buying class, and if they can find
what they want in their own toivn they will not go elsewhere
to spend their money.
IN THE OPEN.
No'r so very long ago, says the New York Herald, we
were a nation of dyspeptics, cartooned as pie-eaters,
bolters of food, lovers of indoor life, and super-heated
rooms in winter-our men, as zi rule, devoid of ade-
quate muscle and healthy digestion, our women physic.
ally frail specimens of hot-house beauty at twenty, who speed-
ily collapsed when one of the bedrooms became it nursery.
, A great change has been worked in tile last decade or so. >'
Nowadays almost "everybody and his neighbor” go in for
outdoor sports, and the result in the bettered health of the
people, women as well as men, is apparent on every side ilnd
rejoiced in by every one except the family doctor and the
drug coniponnder at the corner.
True, there are still some of the typical Americans of on
grandfatners', or even our fathers’, days-men who tumble out
of bed, excitedly swallow their breakfasts in a few gulps, rush
on a mad gallop for tile street cur as tlloiigh time, tide and
business wait for no lnan's digestion-and on reaching their
oiiices idly dawdle away an hour tllat might have been passed "‘
in a slowly considered niorniug meal and a little healthy 6):-
ercise in a walk to business. Bilt these men have, happilyi
decreased in number, and tile average business man or the
present has learned so well the value of niusctilar excercise
that today in New York business uleiils training and exercise
rooms have been successfully established in the heart of the
Snancial and commercial districts. Isn't that a “sign of the
times" athletically?
In every part of the country the love of outdoor sports is
increasing inarveloiisly among the women as well its the men
Tile Miss Flora Mi:Flinlsey of Madison Square can do some-
thing nowadays besides waltz, and, instead of coddliug herself
close to the tire ill winter, there in not an outdoor galne under
the slimmer or in the days of Jack Frost that she does not
play and play well.
As for the men, they have become such adepts of all-around
sport that they have wrested what is admitted to be the world’s
amateur single scull rowing championship, the Diamond
Sculls, from England; given the best held athletes of Great
ritain a eatiu ; ad cot an , and incidentally the
United Kingdom, weep over the loss of honors in Scotty's
own particular game, golf. As for pistol and ride shooting.
they hold world’s honors; on the turf their horses have won
the Derby and the Grand Priir, while in achtilig-vwell,
everybody knows that story and, by the way, is glad to hear
that Sir Thomas Lipton may make another try at “lifting”
that coveted cup.
FRAUDULENT ADVERTISING.
TAKE the Sunday edition of almost any great I "
newspaper and study its advertising columns Leaving out
of the account the department store announcements and the
A is issued, generally in small de-
nominations, to place it within the reach of “small invest-
ors,” tempting gold and copper mines for the discontented
janltress and ambitious elevator manncorporations with new
thepart of their promoters or oihcers of doing any legitimate
business with the money acquired.
One does not have to look backward, however, to realize
that America is up and doing in outdoor sports. The present
season gives examples of it on every hand. There never has
been so delightfully husya time its there is in these snninier
ii ‘ afloat. zicing, yachting, golf, tennis, base-
ball, sowing, and any sport you choose to mention, even
cricket, draws thousands and tens of thousands to the field,
stream or open sea where contests are llelli. And never has
amounting to fortunes, been so lavishly and willingly
expended as it is today to encourage any sport such as racing
and yachting, which demands immense expenditure in its
development. 7 .
All this is of vast benetit to the country at large, for it is
constantly drawing the people out into the open air for their
