White muslin dresses at
about three-quarters value. A
few are shown in the window
Of 1901 Chestnut, each one
marked with its price Very
many more are within.
The materials are nainsooks,
inonsd'Inde, lsand Swissc'.
Some are very plainly made
with little or no trimming be-
yond some deft handling Of the
material itself; and some are
elaborate enough. The cX-
treme prices are $3.50 and SO.
An excellent plain dress is SOLD
for S. neat and we'll made.
Lowpricescan almost alway:
be put upon such goods a little
late in the season. It's rather
early now; but profitable max
ing appears to be over already.
Justnow you have the double
advantage of fmanysuch dresses
to choose from and low prices.
1901 and 1903 Chestnut street.
Ready-made dresses of
black-and-whitc striped fabric
that looks like summer silk, but
is silk-and-cotton. For general
wear they will be found quito
good enough; better indeed
than summcr-silk. We'll madt
and substantial; but the chic!
virtue is in the price, $40.
1901 and 1908 Chestnut street, second floor.
Black grenadines have been
one of the most distinguished
features of our trade for two
months past. We have had
the finest in the world, and all
grades down to the poorest
that we care to keep; and a
wonderful variety Of patterns.
Figured grenadines that
brought s. lately are selling at
81. And this may be taken as
a general indication Of what we
are doing in grenadines.
Next-outer circle. south entrance to main building
An extraordinary debeige,
extraordinary in quality and
width, we are selling at 50
cents; AZ inches. No lady who
can use debeige will be inclined
to pass it; for it is worth twice
the money.
The melanges at 40 to 60
cents are worth a half more,
just about. There are four
qualities, and somewhere about
fifty color effects.
Second CIRCLE southeast from center.
If fdress-goods are lower than
they were elsewherc-we don't
say they are. Advertisements
say they are; but there is a GER
tain shyness in those same adj
vertisements, which makes them
not very impressive.-If dress
goods are lower elsewhere in
our city, the fall is due to the
singular spectacle here of three
great classes of the most FASH
ionable dress-goodsat a fraction
of theirvalue: Frenchmelanges,
small checks and small-check
stripes of wool and silk-and-
wool, and black lainage.
We mention these three, be-
cause they stand out from the
rest of the stock, conspicuous in
two ways; they are fashionable,
peculiarly so; and they are at
half, two-thirds or three-quar-
tiers value.
Third and ssurth circles. south from center.
Sash ribbon, satin-and-gros-
grain, 7-inch, of value $I.I5 for
IS cents; all colors. We refer
to a particular sort, of which we
have three thousand yards.
Black moire, 7-inch sash, 90
cents.
Block sash at 81 we are out
Of part of the time; but we re-
ceive some every morning. Do
not confound this quality with
that sold at oS cents elsewhere.
Outer circle, BY south entrance to main building.
Silk mitts, ordered from the
makers a year ago, include a
wider range in the colors than
ever before: black, so cents to
$3.50; white, cream, ecru, terra
Gotta, cardinal, ETC., IS cents to
