The We'll Conducted Mail
 Service Here.

The Mail Order Department IS prob ably the best conducted Mail Order Depart ment in Birmingham. Of course this should be so, for we do probably double, yes, triple the Mail Order business that any other local store does It's quite natural that out of town shoppers should prefer this store be- cause we have larger stock, a more diver sihed one, and 1t matters very little what they want 1t IS likely to be here. So they send us their orders because the entire order can be filled and sent in one package. If you live away from Birmingham we would like to serve you, If you shop by mail

The Millinery Department.

Within the last week we have received more than one hundred cases of millinery. While our department has been enlarged, 1t strives to overcroWd the show cases and tables with all the new ideas, colors and styles. From the simple unhimmed shape up to the most elaborate picture hat we have gathered the greatesl collection of milliner's art to suit the young and old.
 As usual we have imported good many hats direct from Paris, and we guarantee their original birth, having been made at the swellest millinery establishment in Paris.
 The style this season offers many new features high crowns, a good many new shirrings, accordion pleatings, new style bows, etc. Tor good many years we have been headquarters in this apartment, and this season we have put in the largest and best stock. Our velvets ribbons, ostrich plumes and fancy feathers match exactly; sol we can match any piece of dress goods or silk, including all the fancy shapes
 This weeks special light weight felt tur- ban-handmade on buchran frame, trim med with velvet and quills very stylish; worth $50, at I.o8.
 There are other styles trimmed more elaborately with buckles and fancy breasts, which have been marked out very low; worth 500 to o.5o. At 2.5o, 2.o8, $50 and 400.
 We are representatives of a good many leading manufacturers of ladies' ready-to-wear goods, and we show not less than 500 diff ferent styles of street hats in the various colors.
 We also have on exhibition the most beautiful line of fancy dress hats. The shapes are entirely new, mostly imported, frames trimmed with elaborate plumes, Paradise and French ribbons-from 1000 to 5000.
