THE GENTLE SEX
Those Days and Ours

'T really do not see" said an old
lady who in spite Of her seventy years
takes an active and lively interest in
present-day foibles. "but that the ways
Of our days and the ways Of your days
balance pretty evenly, says the New
York Sun. You tear UP your letters
the moment you get them, and are in
consequence always losing addresses.
while we kept carefully everything the
mail brought us and so had such full
desks that we could never find ad-
dresses and were stupidity swamped
with useless letters. We may have
been downtrodden women, but we
didn't know il. while you apparently
are going to be emancipated whether
you like it or not. I guess We did gos-
sip about our friends private affairs.
but you buy volumes containing 400
pages of really unpleasant gossip and
call 1t modern literature No, / thirk
on the whole the balance is even, for
though we had simple tastes (even in
husbands) not to mention good man
ners and kindliness. all of which have
since gone out Of style. you have
humor and automobiles. And 1 must
admit that I'm enjoying the two last.

Spring Dress Goods

The first breath of spring arrived yesterday
when the advance shipment of Spring Dress
Goods were unpaosed and placed on our count
ers. After so many months of fall and winter
goods with their dull colors, it is a distinct pleas
ure to see these new, bright. snappy looking'
colors in the lightweight fabrics.
Here are all of the usual spring goods with
numerous new numbers-and such an array of
patterns and colors. It seems as though the de-
signers outdid themselves when making these
goods
But while we could 60 on and tell you all
about them yet It will be much more satisfactory
to you if you come in and see yourself.
They are all here and the folks at this de-
partment are so in love with them that they are
delighted to display them.

Some manufacturers appear to believe that
we lose money on every pair Of Nadia Corsets

RUSSIAN DOUNA
HELD TOGETHER
BY THE BRITISH
English Informed Gar
1t Must Not Be
Dissolved.

PARIS, May 1.-THE greatest interest
has been aroused here in the story
printed by the Journal de Geneve de
claring that Great Britain is really re-
sponsible for the continued existence
Of the Russian douma. The paper
which makes the statement is usually
well informed on affairs of the various
European chancelleTies, and for TINS
reason it is believed there is = great
measure of truth in the story. Great
Britain. it is asserted, practically threat
ened to call off pending negotiations
for a treaty with Russia If the dounla
is dissolved.
Russia is anxious to arrange treaty
with Great Britain. Members of the
British cabinet felt, however, that their
government would be discredtted with
the people If a treaty should be ar
ranged with Russia in the face of a
direct slap at parliamentary government
given by the Gar. Accordingly, strong
representations were made to St Peters
burg that IL the douma were dissolved
Britain would find il necessary to end
all negotiations. Russia needs the
treaty, as IL promises 10 be the means
OF supplying her with much needed
funds, and quickly decided TO allow the
dOuma 10 continue in existence
