SPRING GARMENTS REDUCED. The
backward spring and general Indictment weather
has materially interfered with the demand for
spring garments, and as Q result we find our
selves overstocked. 1t Is customary to wait
until the end Of the season before reducing
prices. We propose to reverse the order Of
things" by cutting the prices at the beginning
of the season. This sacrifice is costly to us, but
extremely beneficial to you. We believe you
will be glad to take advantage Of such an extra
ordinary opportunity.

ticulars Of the reduced garments so refer you to

WOOLENS FOR SPRING. The Shaded
Striped Mohair Brilliantines are becoming the
most sought for of the entire range Of Spring
woolens. Much of their popularity is due to
their lustrous finish, they being hardly distin-
guishable from silk. This silky luster serves
two purposes. 1t enhances their beauty, and at
the same time renders them dust-proof. 1t is
very much affected by spring brides and tour
lists, no other lightweight fabric combines
the desirable elements of beauty, wear. weight,
and style to such good advantage
PARIS NOVELTY" ROBES Some Of these
Robes represent the very best efforts of French
manufacturers. We have never shown their

lies in the effect upon the vision. Rich combi-

elusive should give these IN early examination.
