Boswell records, with his tisual spite when talking about Oliver, that on a certain occasion he sirutted about, "bragging of his dress," and when they laughed at him he said, "Well, let me tell you, when my tailor brought home my pluf-colored coat, he said, 'Sir, 1 have a favor to beg of you. When anybody asks you who made your clothes, be pleased to mention John Filey, at the Harrow, in Water Lane,"" to which Johnson made the retort, in his usual drastic style, "Why, sir, that was because he knew the strange color would attract crowds to gaze at it, and thus they might hear of him, and see how well he could make a coat even of so absurd a color." Dickens was always a bit of a dandy, and it cannot be #aid that his tast> was invariably perfect. For Instance, he used to wear a bright green waistcoat, a color of which he was very fond, to the accompani- ment of a vivid scarlet tie. There was a good deal of the showman about Dickens, He actually turned up at the studio of W. P. Firth, the artist who painted the well-known picture "Derby Day," now in' the Tate Gallery, in a sky-blue overcoat with red cuffs. In his later days he was very fond of velvet coats. Even in evening dress he could never be content with the usual simplicity. Even more fearful and wonderful was Dumas' appearance at a certain ambassadorial reception. The author of "Monte Cristo" turned up in *a shirt on which were depicted a num- ber of little réd demons disporting Yhemadives amid flames of yellow re. After the reception he wrote to a friend, "My costume was a great Success, everyone thronged round During the last few days orders for jam to the value of $2,500,000 have been placed with Ontario houses, + BODY OF RAYMOND SMITH -- Found at Hamilton = Brought to Home at Westbrook.

Brown, president of the com- pany, soon found that his many difficult prob= lems of merchandizing yielded to mewspaper advertising, not only because of quick, direct demand created among the users of roofing, but because the dealers themselves, all news- paper readers, could be reached better through his campaign in the dailies than in any other way. ~~That is why the Certain-teed campaign finally took in a list of 800 newspapers, and we have Mr. Brown's statement of the fact that his business for January and February, 1915, ghowed a minimum gain of 19 per cent. and a maximum gain of 70 per cent. over the same period in 1914---and this in the face of adverse conditions created by the great war.
