Seconds of Mems and
Women's Handkerchief


12Hc each-some half price.
H land kerchi c f makers are
more particular than handker-
chief users. If the handker-
chiefs are not exact in every
respect - exactly square or
exactly even in thread, they
hurt their makers reputation.
The only way they can be sold
is by calling them seconds "
and asking less than the regu-
lar prices for them.
We have 500 dozen such
handkerchiefs today-all plain
white, hemstitched. Mems and
women's.

Our Finest Millinery
Second flo r. Green Salon

Starting at 500 and going up
to $45, there are such hats in
the Green Salon as you can
find nowhere else.
A great many women may
ask: "What's the use of paying
$40 or $50 when can buy
your pretty $40, $12 and SIS
hats ?"
None at all-if you want hats
that can be duplicated. But
these finest hats are made on
French shapes, which we i'm
ported ourselves; trimmed with
French flowers or fruits, of
which we brought over only
one spray--to go on the hat
you buy.

Spring Wash Flannels

Cloth usually shrinks in its
length and not in it's width
for it is drawn tight on the
looms the long way. In wash
fannels, the strongest material
the cotton-is put in to run
lengthwise, and the wool is
used for the filling. This makes
it warm, yet light and strong
and washable.
Spring wash flannels start at l8c
but perhaps we sell more of the
SOC kind than any other. 1t is
twilled, and the right weight for
