IN THE STORES

THE PALAIS ROYAL "opening days"
are multiplying. as Easter approaches. This
week is devoted to the Opening" of Easter
dress materials. The display is to be on
the second floor. and as complimentary
prices are to be associated as souvenirs,
the occasion will prove attractive from
various viewpoints.
While a tailored suit will be included In
the wardrobe, the more truly feminine
dress will be in growing evidence this sea-
son. Dress garnitures are to be a promi-
nent feature of the Palais Royal exposition,
in the form of passementeries, soutache
and novelty braids. together with laces en-
broideries. buttons, buckles and pendant
ornaments. The Introduction of the fllet
ground is a new factor, and creates novel
and beautiful trimmings. Drop ornaments,
large and small. and particularly the tinydrop
buttons bound with silk, are used in colors
to match the garment they adorn What
with the instructive exhibit and the COM
plimentary prices this second floor open
ing" should prove one of the attractive
features of the week. The third floor ex-
hibit of ready-to-wear costumes will be
helpful, for here one can learn of the new
princess and two-piece effects and, If need
be- have the garments fitted. With the
materials on the one floor and the finished
costumes on the other, 1t Is claimed, the
visitor can decide upon the new Easter
dress with least possible doubt as to sue
cessful outcome.

the finest imported and domestic ginghams
as to deceive those who are we'll acquainted
with these fabrics, and the price per yard
Is about one-half to one-third as much.
That spring Is at hand Is clearly attested
by the handsome new weaves shown in
the dress goods section, and among them
there Is a noticeably large percentage Of
yoiles and some French novelty voiles in
checks, plaids and stripes.
In the ready-to-wear department the
beauty Of these fabrics Is excellently Illus
trated In the garments made Of them,
though how such handsome suits Of such
really fine materials can be put before the
public at the low prices advertised is q
matter of conjecture for the customer to

advantage of some Of these remarkable
