ADVANCE SPRING AND SUMMER "oPENING"
MADRAS, BOTH IN THE PIECE GOODS AM
CURTAINS.
This is to be MADRAS week." In the Curtain
Department. Our preparations have been on
large SCALE as there is every indication that
Madras Curtains will be more popular than ever
this season.
They are much preferred for libraries, dining
rooms and chambers because of their cosy and
sttractively colored effects. and their less lis
bility to soil by con slant use.
The new patterns and colorings are exqui-
site, and embrace almost everything from the
tiniest spray to designs that will admit of but
two or three repetitions upon the entire cur
tain. The combinations of the different color
orings are exceedingly artistic, and show Brown
and Copper on q ground of wood color, White
ground with figures of Pale Pink, Light Blue.
and various tints of Red, Olive, Brown, Yellow,
and Blue. Madras prices, in the piece, %, 49,
40, so, as. 90, and 81 per yard
Madras curtains, $3.50, $3.50, s3, $3.50,
"a, $3.50, S5, $3.50. 90, 81. and $3.50 per

Many customers seem to be under the i'm
preston that Madras curtains cannot be
cleaned. A very erroneous impression, as an
ordinary laundress can clean them readily,
while from the hands Of experienced cleaners
they come with all the beauty Of their original
newness.
