others sit only for quiet pieces. but all rich
IN color and pattern, went for three pennies
each. 1t was a big gay heap in the morn
ing. but before noon the last bit was gone
and the space filed up with belts.
French jewelry bead necklaces, hat pins
and buckles formed the rummage treasures
of half dozen big stores, and yet there
are other lots to be put on sale for the
coming week.
At house noted for its white sales there
was throughout the week a continuous
rummage'' lot of short ends of nainsook
sheerest linen and cambria, null and dotted
musiins each to be bought for the tradi-
tional song. Each morning the heaps
were piled high, Ike snowdrifts, to dis
appear before the late afternoon, and some
of the pieces were barely large enough for
handkerchief or a yard of ruffline but
there We're other bits sufficient in quantity
to make the chemisette and undersleeves
that are to be so imperative the coming
spring.

Wholesale manufacturers of lingerie are
now making garments for the late spring
trade, and In order to get rid of their SUPER
huous stock have sold il at phenomenally
low prices to the retail dealers Our mer-
chants, being among the lucky purchasers
are IN a position to put on sale the coming
week an unusually varied line of underwear
and shirt waists at prices much below their
actual value.
+ The latter, for instance, were made to
pring high prices, but are marked down to
the sum usually charged for ordinarily
made garments. The stock includes every
size, some deliberately trimmed and all
IN the STYLES popular throughout the sea-
son. This bargain feast is not likely to
be repeated, as it is stated that there is
to be raise in the cost of material, and
that higher prices or inferior grade will
be inevitable. According to advance no.
the only variation in style from the stock
to be sold next week will be the almost
universal half-length sleeve, no matter
how simple the garment. There are many
women however, particularly those of the
business world, who will refuse to go bare

on buying their lingerie waists much long,

showcases a gold band, enameled ana PLAIN,
and even the pretty bracelets or turquoise
or garnet beads, with gold hasps, that
used to be worn by debutantes in the days
of the civil war Now is the time for matrone
to do a bit of 'rummaging" in behalf OF
their daughters, and bring out the trlnkets
of their own girlhood; particularly their
bracelets and those never-to-be-forg
lockets and cable chains. Short sleeves
are responsible for this revival, as people
who wear them WILL naturally wear aiso
the frilly v neck and all the chains ana
lockets that such a style implies.
A popular store will please its patrons
the coming week by adding to Its rummase
sales its full Inc OF winter suits; some
of these garments were among the most
expensive brought to Washington at the
opening of the season. They were not
sold at original prices, and must now go
at the lowest possible reduction This does
not mean, of course, that they Will De

are first-class garments and. naturally, the
shopper who wants them must expect to
nav money for them. They are splendid
bargains, for all that, and can be had
at one-third their first price. They repre-
sent the very best specimens or taliorlng
seen anywhere in America, and include
such fabrics as broadcloth. cheviot5, mix
lures and the very best imported yeivets
In many instances the sleeves are elbow
length in strict keeping with the coming
mode. and even those that reach the wrist
can easily be altered. 1t only requires
snip here and addition there. to change
them into the prevailing fashion.
Every successful store must take its
semi-annual inventory in order 10 make It's
books balance and let the owners know
how they stand As every article must be
entered on the inventory lists the mer-
chants naturally desire to rid themselves
of all the left overs on hand at no matter
how great the loss. This entails the bar

this week, however, and when 1t begins,
1t is goodbye to the rummage sale, until
the end DAVIS of summer.

counter as to capture the interest of the
most conservative shoppers. One woman
who has lived here all her life and who
is proud of her ability to shop advantage
ously without subjecting herself to what
she calls marked-down rushes, admitted
yesterday that she had spent the week
rummag ing around the shopping district
and intended to keep it up the week TO
come. In explanation of her sudden and
sweeping conversion. the old resident
said: Il made it my business to ask the
proprietor of the store where l do most
of my dealing what he meant by prach-
caly giving half his stock away. He told
me that he had prepared for the heavy
winter which didn't materialize and that

And, indeed the button bargains have
been signal feature of the week. This is
the time of year, of course, when every
store Jumps its loose buttons together
with the few that have remained on their
cards, and sells them at ridiculously low
prices just to get rid of them without ac-
tually throwing them away. Never how
ever have there been such beautiful Of ex-
pensive ones on the bargain tables as now

bushel of buttons We're thrown loosely to-

cost as much a dollar dozen went for

to sort them out. 1t took one just three
quarters of an hour to pick out a dozen

red and glowing, set in gold-plated coiled
