The WATERPROOF WITH A GUARANTEE.
The "MACNOVA” is made to our own design of a specially woven cloth and treated with a patent proof- ing process which enables it to with- stand the peculiarities of the climate.
It is cut on free and easy, yet, smart lines, providing perfect comfort in wear, and every detail in the making has the closest scrutiny.
We confidently recommend the "MAGNÖVA" waterproof, and will replace any coat which fails to give com- plete and absolute satisfaction.

I am quite sure that the Royal visitor would not care whether there was a fountain outside the City Hall or not.. He may not notics it unless it is pointed out to him and then, if he happens no to have seen the long queues wait ing at the staret taps, his impres- sion is more likely to be one of aimazement at such colossal waste than of admiration for a pretty spectacle.
The full programme is as follows: At 7 pm the President will broadcast the telegrans received from fellow Societies and an ad-
