Of the New Garments.

Word pictures are neces- sarily incomplete, but the few words here written will do something toward ac- quainting the reader with the importance that the Cloak department of ours under its new management, is as- suming.
 In the past we must con- fess its mission had not been fulfilled while it was sat- isfactory to a degree, it was far from perfect.
 But now, new life has been taken on-such a stock both in point of size and tastefulness has never before been here.
 Every day notes an inn provement. Our aim is to show and sell a line of nice garments popularly priced.
 The Coats at $10. .00, the Suits at $12.98 and $15.o8 for instance are unequalled.
 Misses a n d Children's garments receive special at- tention and we are positive that the showing will appeal to you strongly.
 The management is ever on the alert for trade oppor- tunities, as we style them:-- manufacturers overstocked or trying to do a large bus mess with capital made quate to their needs-hence needing money at critical times and compelled to sac rifce stocks on that account. Such opportunities will en- able us to fairly startle you at times with the special val ues we shall offer you.
 As for Waists, both silk and cloth, we'll ! we throw down the gauntlet to any house; in fact our claim is that the stock here is super for to any in the city or vii cinity. A pretty strong statement that, but then you know, there's no guesswork a b o u t our advertising claims. 'Tis easy to claim but harder to substantiate and this store is pretty care full in its claims.
 Separate Skirts, Capes, Children's Dresses, Small Furs, Wrappers, etc. are not a whit less interesting but its time to talk of prices. DRESSES

COrsets that Fit.

Much of the elegance in the fit of the gown is due to the ftof the corset. Slouchy, ill-shapen, poor fitting cor sets will destroy the beauty lines of a gown or suit from the handsof the finest tailor.
 Expert advice, when you make your corset selections, is absolutely necessary.
 We have provided for this and can in- vite you to this department with more confidence than ever before.
 An expert filter is at your service in the mornings-corsets from s2 and more are fitted if you wish.
