the abrupt termination of this hateful
engagement through them, and now the
chance was lost, utterly lost, just be-

This disappointment, coming after her
mornings failure at DAVIS office, broke
down her spirit altogether. and for the

 A mammoth stock of beautiful Easter clothing is very much in evidence at J. Johnson & Sons, the exclusive clothiers, 85 Church street. Johnsons store at the present time presents very att traetive appearance, The passersby mo- tice at a glance that painters and art decorators have been at work and have effected a transformation which is tasteful-novel and strikingly hand some. Everything looks "spick-span new and ornate. When you get in- side of the store the same effect is pro- duced. Everything there looks ss at tractive as the highest art of man can make it. But the great magnet there is the exceptionally large and rich dis play Of Easter clothing. Everything in the line of goods of the latest crea- tions, and made and fashioned at the top notch can be seen in prOfusion, and the only difficulty one encounters is as to the selection, All suits look so fine, and there are so many that it requires discriminating taste in the selection. And there is where Johnson clerks catch on' Their courtesy, po- liteness and taste ielp each buyer They'll tell you if the suit becomes you and if it doesn't they'll be equally frank, and let you know it. That's why everybody likes to trade at Jonn- son's. Their aim is to give you some tl.ing that will please you-somethine that will stand by you and cause nc regrets.

Handsome Hattie Williams, his clever and dashing assistant In the tunmaklng, Is also more advantageously assigned in the role of Llona than she has been since she made her first musical triumph. She sings and dances t6 perfection and she has four of the song hits of the production, Tricks" Friends That Are Good and True" My Cabin Door and "The Girl in My Own Town" each of which will be listened to with pleasure. Behind this splendid team are eighty expert singers, dancers and general entertainers, who keeps the hnarlty at a high notch and add to the variety and magnitude of the en- 1oyment.
