made from the elegant Pattern Robes.
You have decreed it. You may not
be aware Of it, but you set the fashion

Pattern Robes. We were fortunate
enough to anticipate your decision

handsomest line Of Pattern Robes yet
brought to this city. We can show
you styles and designs in Cordings
and Braidings that are not to be
found even in New York-absolutely
controlled by US. Three hundred or
more Spring Pattern Robes and no
two alike-thst is, we never buy two
shades Of the same design, yet We
may have half dozen different
shades Of particularly attractive
pattern. the color making each one
different. We call particular attention
to the line at SIS per pattern.

Thread, Taffeta and Silk Gloves is
ready-first to show them as usual.

backs have fine narrow silk stitching;
the shades. especially the Blacks, are
warranted fast. The new spring
shades are very drcssy and match the
new dress goods-except the extreme
shades.
