Mingle in happy union in the exquisite
perfumes we carry. Scents are as difficult to
blend into harmony as sounds. It takes almost
as high an order of ability to make true per
fumes as is required to write good music.
No wonder so much of the perfume of

wholly pleased with the odors you are now
using, we would like to have you try some of
the delightful ones we handle. Cost you no
more than the poorer kinds.

ADVANTAGE OF i>. 1
KNOXVILLE SCHOOL.
The teachers of Arkansas who are /
thinking of attending a summer school /
this summer can find no place rr /
desirable than the Summer School
the South to be held at Knoxvi
Those in charge have provided foi * k.
faculty of the most distinguished edv*
cators of the country, 93 in number
The location of the school is desirable f
as Knoxville is one of the healthiest - t
and most picturesquely situated cities^ w
in the South. 2,000 from the South ,JC
attended this school last summer, and J,e (
fully as large an attendance is i
pected this year. On account of *Qr
cheap railroad rates, I am sure A. ■
kansas will be well represented in th
school this summer. b tJl

raise and that to a high degree of
perfection.
