WOnen'S Black Capes.

A splendid assortment of Black Capes in winter weight. These are especially suited for stout fig ures, though some were fashioned just for elderly women, not neces- sarily stout, who get little thought in the average stores planning.
 The prices are low-for instance our $7.5O cape of extra good black kersey, 30 inches long, with a storm collar and strapped, is fully worth $l0. It pays to get good quality-keeps the color and al- ways looks well.
 Others up to $75.
 We have an exceptionally fine line of Children's Coats and Dress es-choice styles at little prices.

 been wishing them success! I wonder who it could have been; a
 chum of theirs 1 guess. For no one else but bachelor or an
 unhappy married man
 Would ever think of wishing success
 to this newly 'got up" plan. Of course we know they have a right
 to do somewhat as they please, Providing they don't declare them
 selves to be our enemies. But then, 'tis said, in bachelors clubs

Anyhow, a bachelors club is not the best kind of social organization, Because you know it doesn't receive a woman's appreciation. And that is why we must try to stop all this hubbub So now it's up to you, girls, to dissolve
