SUITS.

A great lot of folks have no idea how good a suit we sell for $2o or whereabouts.
 Time was when a tail or-made suit at $2o was a poor affair. Not so now. Wholesale tailors have improved their methods can give us as good a suit to retail now at $2o as they could at nearly a half more a few years ago.
 They economize time by making specialists of their Workmen; each does a cer- tain thing and (doing on- ly that) becomes an ex- pert. He works better and quicker; so does his fellow who has another part of the work-and the result is suits of much ex- cellence at moderate cost.
 None of those detailed below costs $2O. You will find them very att tractive.
 Blue cheviot suit with blouse jacket and fashionable flare skirt. Iris finished with slot seams-is a handsome costume. $16.5O.
 Walking-suit of blue-and- white novelty mixture. Has Norfolk jacket and strapped skirt. One sees why the walk ing-suit is SO liked when seeing this example. $16.5O.
 Costumes of mixed cloth in blue-and. white :; jackets are blouse effect and tastefully strapped, skirts are made with side pleats. SIS.
 Blouse suits of venetian in blue castor or black. Have flaring skirt which, like blouse, is trimmed with taffeta silk in new and charming fashion. $16.5O:
 \ Black cheviot suits with blouse jacket have skirt with slot seams which are finished of at bottom to giyeEa kilted eff feet. SIS.
 Suits of black broadclotl have blouse jacket that is giv en the Norfolk effect by a sort of pleats; skirt is made witl narrow side pleats and the en' tire costume is tastefully trim med with taffeta silk. SIS.
