Some Fine Fur Goats
At Lou Prices

We have just about fifteen very hand
some imported Fur Coats for women,
which we. offer today at the most radical
concessions that have probably ever been
made on coats of this character.
We almost hesitate to name the values
of these garments, because of the loose
manner in which valuations are ordinarily
used in the fur business. Sufficient TO say
that the valuation figures which we do
quote are the actual prices which were
marked on these garments by us originally,
which were entirely fair, and never con-
tested; and for which many like garments
have been sold.
A few examples are as follows:
fancy Persian lamb Coat with white
waistcoat; formerly $500, now $3.50.
Box Coat OF beautiful broadtail, with
deep collar and cuffs of clear chinchilla; for
nerly $3.50, $3.50.
very beautiful Chinchtlla Cape; formerly
$3.50, now 1925.
A fancy Moire Astrakhan Coat; formerly
$2l0, now S1o5.
A very elegant Ermine Coat; formerly $3.50.
now S275.
We also offer few plain Short Persian
lamb Jackets that were $3.50 and SS2.50;
now at S55 each.
Also some Persian lamb Blouses, with COL
lar and lapels of real Chinchilla and Japanese
sable: formerly s175. now at Sis each.

he died. or was it dream?' is q question that was
being asked yesterday in Newark. Philip Healey a
member OF his church. says that Monsignor Doane

which he died. and told him that he wanted to
tell him about strange happening of the night
before 1t related to Healeys sixteen-year-old
son. who had been buried two days before, and
who had been great favorte Of the monsgnor's.
According to the story. Monsignor Doane had
vision the night before, in which he seemed TO be
in heaven. and had seen the dead son of Healey.
Young Healey inquired after his parents when lie
saw the monsignor, and pleaded with him to stay
there. He told the boy he could not remain, and
the lad then begged that he return soon. The
monsignor saio that he did not know whether it
dream vision, he not
whether he asleep awake,
The story as told by Healey caused sensation
among the parishOners OF the Cathedral
