everybody, nor discarding it alto
gether; but with sort Of a sill
|, bound damasse plaid forming
generous border upon the honey
:: comb. $3.50.
1903 Chestnut.
Fifty sorts of spring coats. Th
lowest price is $3.50; but in gen
eral good cloth coats cost $40 t.
$50. The lowest price for a mantl'
trimmed with lace and passamen
terie is $3.50, which is very low
The lowest price for dolman trim
med with lace, passamenterie anc
fringe is $40. The highest price i:
1875.
This gives but little notion of the
garments; but general notion OF
the stock may invite you in to see.
1901 Chestnut.
Wide pekin stripes at three-quar-
tiers value; eight most timely
colors; $I.5o.
Several approved colors in good
gros-grain at Is cts, which is rare !;
more at ST. than is common an
unheard-of variety at $I.25; and so
on.
Next-outer circle, Chestnut-street entrance.
Imagine wide stripes of shepherds
plaid upon Shepherds plaid ground,
and over and through all a melange
illumination strong enough to OBJ
scure and blend both the plaids and
the stripes; and you have, out of
old elements, one of the newest
effects the season has brought us as
yet. ST., $I.25, 81 and $3.50.
Third-circle, northwest from centre.
French all-over hemstitch-plaid
nainsook and plain nainsook with
border of hemstitch plaid to match;
the former for sleeves, yoke and
overskirt the latter for the dress.
Two patterns and but little. Why
the makers should let so pretty a
nainsook be scarce is a mystery |
but we don't know where to get
more. 90 and s. cents.
There is hardly such a thing as a!
novelty in white goods to be got in
all Europe.
Third and fourth circles, City-hall-square en-
trance.
A northumberland of white
satin with large polka dots is hard
ly worth mentioning, except as an
of two ways of doing
business. 1t is new and pretty ;
and some enterprising man with
sewing machine has hemmed a few;
and Chestnut street is selling them
for him at $I.5o. Too much. Our
lace department buys the stuff Of
our silk department; cuts and
hens: and our price is IS cents.
See! Is cents and $3.50; style
and quality the very same. Just
such things are done every day.
Second eli Gle, southwest from centre.
Windsor tides have pretty lace
border and picture of the proverbial
bird in the bush, with colored
ground, printed on cotton monte
10 cents. April Showers and Come
along Joe bibs tell their own story;
10 cents.
Fourth circle, north from centre.
New alligator handbags, $2.75 to
SI2, of the ugliest imaginable
shapes; but what have we to say of
beauty when Fashion commands?
Seal, $I.75 to SIS; morocco, ST. to
$3.50; imitation-seal, 50 cents to
$3.50. Alligator, Russia, seal, calf,
morocco, and other pocket books
and card-cases.
First and second circles, southwest from CEN
tire.
Linens of all grades for gentle
mems underwear. Two makes: one
celebrated, sold under the makers
name at about the usual market
price the other not sold under the
makers name at about two-thirds
the price Of the former.
This calls for explanation. The
name itself of a celebrated maker
gets to have value in the market,
with good reason: for it affords
guarantee of quality. You expect
to pay something for the name, if
it is so we'll known as to amount to
a guarantee. On the other hand a
skilful buyer can get from good
maker who isn't we'll known just as
