Becoming Millinery
Reasonable Prices.

The browning glory Of the perfect
feminine wardrobe is the hat. To a great
extent, it makes or mars the looks OF the
woman who wears it. Good dressers
know this and are careful to select from
the prevailing styles only such hats as en-
hanee their natural chamns. Too few of
them, however, give the important ques-
ton of PRICE the serious consideration it
deserves. The result is that many woman
pays far too high price for the dainty bit Of
headgear she selects. Until the establish
ment of our Millinery Department this was
particularly the case. Our example has had
much to do with the reduction of the cost of
fine millinery to something like reasonable
prices-to prices that the average woman
can afford to pay. We mean to keep up
the good work of ''price reform, = for we
firmly believe that there's money to be
made and fame to be gained by selling
handsome, stylish, well made hats at mod,
crate prices.
Tomorrow we will place on sale
