The talk is on Black Stockings. You
probably know that some black stockings
will and some black stockings will not
stain the feet, wash brownish, and wear
into Sits. The latter, Of course, is the
desideratum, and ladies who have expe-
rienced the annoyance and baleful effects
of Fast Black Hose that were not Fast
Black, will be glad to know that we have
received our Spring importation of Black
Hosiery that we can guarantee to be alb
solutely all we claim them to be, which
is as follows:
The dye is guaranteed purely vegeta-
BILE, and perfectly harmless in effect,
either to the skin or to the hose. The
black is guaranteed absolutely perma-
nent, brilliant in finish, unaffected by
heat or perspiration, and of indeliibiy
lasting qualities. The fabrics are guar
auteed fine hard-twisted cotton thread
or Isle thread, of extreme durability,
will not crock or wear into holes, and
will wash perfectly. When we guaran-
tee an article we mean what we say, and
when we guarantee these hose to be as
above represented, we mean if a pair
should turn out to be otherwise you have
only to return them and get your money.
No ifs and ands about it, We will re-
fund the money for every pair not as rep
resented We have thoroughly tested
these brands aad have had them stamped
Woodward & Lothrop, as a matter of
good faith. We believe we have come
the closest yet to perfection in the mat
ter of Fast Black Hose, and we conf
dentl y recommend them as having great
intrinsic merits.

ICHILDREN'S FAST BLACK HOSE
Children's Hosiery. Here is where
we wax strongest. While to have them
absolutely fast black has been the great
est consideration, it is none the less i'm
portant that they should be exceedingly
durable especially for the boys, who
appear to be getting harder and harder
on their stockings every year. These
can tc depended upon for looks, pcrma-
nent blackness and durability, and con-
sidering their comparative Inexpensive
ness we believe the present stock to be
the best in every respect, we have ever
yet shown l59 doz children's fast black
fine ribbed cotton hose. spring weight
double at the knee, heel, and toe; all
sizes from to 81 inches,
ONLY 25c PER PAIR.
100 doz children's fast black plain
cotton hose for young girls; double at
heel and toe; splendid quality, and
warranted,
ONLY 25c PER PAIR.
The truest test Of superiority is the
wear, and we place these against any 25c
hose manufactured. We also offer more
than half dozen qualities of children
hose, which for sake of equity are marked
vt graded prices; that is, each pair from
5 inches up selling for two cents more
than the size smaller. These are in
plain, ribbed and drop stitched styles,
and each and every grade represents all
that the particular price can possibly
procure. As absolutely fast black hose
are boon to the purchaser, we conf
IDENTIFY predict an unusually large demand
for these special qualities.
MEMS FAST BLACK HOSE.
Heretofore it has been almost impossi-
BILE to secure an absolutely fast black hose
for men without paying quite large price
for them. Such is no longer the case. We
have exerted strenuous efforts, and now
have the pleasure of placing before you
Hot only the finest qualities and most re-
liable dyes, but the most inexpensive
line we have ever offered. As with the
ladies and children's hose we also guar
antee these to be absolutely fast in color,
and not to crock or fade in washing.
