THE PALAIS ROYAL page starts with
the reminder that there are but twenty
nine shopping days between now and
Christmas, and advertises a room-making
sale with greatly reduced prices. 1t seems
that Apron Bazaar is to invade the
suit department and room-making prices
are quoted for suits and wraps. "Dolltown''
is to be built in the millinery department,
and hats and trimmings are reduced to
quickest selling prices. The departments for
dress goods, Silks Innings and trimmings
are to give up much room and greatly re-
duced prices are asked. Laces, now on the
first floor, are to be moved upstairs, and
prices are made to induce a great sale be-
fore their removal. Thanksgiving day is
thought of. Table linen, china. glassware
and cooking apparatus make a long and
interesting list, and each visitor to the
basement floor purchasing one dollars
worth of any goods Is to be presented with
roasting pan for the Thanksgiving tur-
key. The Palais Royal page will be read
with much interest and profit. A very in
teresting paragraph is devoted to art
needleWork and typography, showing how
little-cost articles can be greatly trans
formed into elaborate and artistic pieces
suitable for Christmas presents.
