the present Exhibition. The public will
not walk from one building to another

THE FIRST view OF

first view of our collection Of
Spring Dresses and Wraps.
They will be worth exa:nina.
ton. Our own work.rooms
and artists have contributed
many commendable things, but
the highest and newest notions
are from Paris.
We have had keen, apprecia-
tive, but critical eyes, all through
the ateliers Of the French mo.
distes, which have caught and
brought, or think they have, the
best Paris has produced this
year.
The first view is a little late,
but quite early enough. The
late Easter defers interest in
Spring Fashions.
We make no descriptions Of
things you are to see. They
include costumes for house use,
dinners, receptions, yachting,
boating, athletics - Jackets,
Wraps, Goats, Fichus.
The stufs are Cloths, Silks,
Lusters, Laces. Challis, Sateens,
Ginghams. The wonderful
things French Dressmaker
can do with a cotton cloth you
may see here. Don't think
these Paris Sateen gowns are
cheap because they are cotton.
Pounds avoirdupois count cot
ton cost as the bolls go from
Alabama or South Carolina,
pounds sterling-not a few
when the Frenchman has manip.
ulated the completed stuff.
All across the Chestnut stree,
front second floor you will find
the attractions to-day. This
event takes cognizance Of the
baby, the girl, the woman. Or
the east side, Thirteenth street
are the Ladies' Costumes; or
the Juniper street side are the
