GRAY HAEDS.

In the cities there exists a reg
ular fad for anything with a
gray plaid. You see the plaids
everywhere.
While the plain fabrics will be
much used with the regular win
ter season, it is a fact that for
fall wear the plaids are very
strong, and for good cause. The
grays show the dust but little,
and the plaids add to the grays
that touch of life that makes
them becoming to almost any
ly.
We have provided the gray
p.aids literally and call your at
tention to several numbers at
from 25c to 81 a yard.
