Some Parisian Gowns at a
 Third Off.

For the sake of showing the Birmingham people how superior is the class of work that we turn out, we pur- chased some expensive Paris made gowns that illustrate, not only how much beauty and cleverneSs may be wrought into a costume, but that show how nearly perfect this Dress Making Depart ment of ours catches that intangible spirit, called style, and imparts to all work that we turn out an indetlnable grace and style and beauty whether it is a chic coat for a lady to wear or an afternoon or a regal costume fit for the most gracious queen. These goods would sell in any of the exclusive shops in New York at 115.00 to 175.00- likely more than that. They having served their purpose, we now offer them to you at just one-third of New York prices.

The Millinery
 Section.

We show an entirely new line of evening hats for dressy occasions, all the delicate even- ing shades, executed with dainty French colorings, soft shadings, brought out in either Chiffon, Nadine, Panne Velvet, atin Soliel with ostrich plumes, paradise, and silks and velvet flowers to match. Our hats are distinct, the materials are of the very latest and our facilities in this department are greater than a regular millinery store where limited quantities and smaller stocks are carried. Velvets, Laces and Silks are carried in the regular departments in great quantities, therefore, our hats are hardly ever made out of the same material. This gives each individual hat the distinct appearance. The large picture hats fhe delicate co1ored. large English Satin Beavers seem to be the rage for the swell evening hats.
 Our speciality for this week is a new line of children's hats, such as trimmed beavers, ruf- fled silk hats and ladies' even ing hats.
 In our ready-to-wear street hats we show a Military AL pine in gray and brown with leather band and buckle on the side, a very good style of misses hat at o8c-worth a.5o. They were bought at a special price and have just been received in stock.
 Felt shapes of various de- scriptions for children, misses and ladies in the various colors, which have just been received. at 75c-worth from o8c to 200.
