s. KAHN, SONS G. CO. mark the begin
ming of the week by an announcement of
wash goods In May at August prices This
means much to the women of Washington.
Many women have come to know that the
prettiest patterns in wash dress goods are
generally brought out early In April or
May, but prices are usually higher than
during August and September, when range
of choice Is not so great. To have the
choicest patterns offered at fag-end prices
is something rather unusual in the way Of
bargain giving.
Batiste lawns, wash voiles, lingerie suit
ings, ginghams, madras ginghams, printed
lawns, French organdies. Rampoor madras.
silk mousselnes and others too numerous
to mention.
About one of the best bargains ever pre-
sented to Washingtonians will be offered
Monday in the way OF French Valenciennes
laces in matched sets. in many different
and exquisite patterns at practically half
the usual prices asked. Laces are such
feature of summer gowns that this an
nouncement will be hailed with delight.
Equally good are the bargains in en-
broideries-some fine matched sets In SWISS |
nainsook and organdie and splendid values
In deni-founcing and all-overs. A regular |
embroidery gown, with very little India |
linon or Persian lawn to hold the embroid- !
cry strips together. could be constructed at |
small cost. and the effect would be chic |
and charming.
While wash goods and trimmings are
coming to the front, silks and wool goods |
still hold their own, many women having |
need for lightweight wooden or silk gowns |
for trips to mountain or seashore. Kann's |
