Some one criticises our giving
so much space to Ladies Wear
ing Apparel and so little to that
of the sterner sex, and says
she says 1--WE won't hide it under
a neuter) that statistics show
that men spend more money in
dress than women, but her hus-
band declares if that were so
we'd advertise mems belong
ings more than women's. Now
that husband of yours need't try
to base his argument on our
familiar talks in these columns.
Men do pay us more money
than women, but that don't de-
eide who wear the garments.
There is more variety in
women's dress, andstyles change
more than in mems and this ne
cessitates more talk but men
can doubtless spend any amount
in a quiet way. Two very un-
pretentious bachelor gentlemen
the other day selected some ex-
pensive cloths and ordered suits
for both. The salesman not
knowing them called a cutter.
Never mind" said one, you
have had the measure for years
look for MIR. H. measure" The
cutter said. Then we'll meas
ure the other gentlemen" "No,
his measure is mine and mine is
his. Your folks have made our
suits by that one measure for
years and they always fit And
so it was. These two gentle
men of separate kin have lived
together in perfect harmony
over forty years. have always
had a common purse las well as
common measure) and live in
independence on their property
in West Philadelphia, literally a
second "David' and"Jonathan."
Business men will find a thor
oughly complete line of business
suits and piece goods, SO dis
played that you can run your
eye over them quickly, without
pulling down roll after roll from
the shelves. Prices for solid
value in Clothing never advan-
tagged buyers more than they
will dc for the next few days in
our heavy stock.

There is confessedly some
thing irresistibly fascinating in
those cloudlike fabrics that fall
gracefully about thefemaleform.
Nothing in a lady's toilet can
equal it. 1t is beyond compare.
1t has unique charm of its own.
How much could be told of
Laces, their origin, introduction
and advance. How one of those
famous Nottingham beer drink
ers, named Hammond, was re-
fused credit at the ale house,
and, going home, long and pa
tiently delved until he produced
the famous Valenciennes Lace,
and drank up the good fortune
it brought him. How for long
years no machine could initiate
the expensive handmade or
cushion work, until the stocking
frame was adapted to the pur-
pose, so that Hosiery became
the parent of Lace.
We have few good patterns
left that were overlooked in that
rare lot of Valenciennes we have
been advertising and only a few.
You are not likely to find
another such bargain soon. If
you are likely to require Laces
at all this summer, will not such
bargains attract you? Just see:
Black Guipure Spanish, 38
cents to SIPS.
Oriental and Egyptian, IS
cents to $I.25.
Black Escurial, SO cents to
| S4.25.
Spanish Fichus, Cream and
Black, IS cents to $3.50 each.
| The harder to please you are
the better for us. Fastidious
folks can well appreciate having
long, well-flled counter for
each separate day in the week
and two for Saturday, from
which to select their Laces, Ties,
Ruchings, Fichus, Tides, Col
