PuvdsOIs! PnrasOIs!
 PurasOLs! !! A sale of them at
 $1.95

If 1.95 isn't the lowest price you ever saw placed on para sols like these, then we miss our guess. This sale affects several dozen particularly pretty parasols. It isn't nee essary that we state just what these parasols sold for few weeks ago, for the par asols themselves are so su- perior that any woman see ing them would not hesitate buying them for 1.95.
 This IS a most unusual sale. Even were there no time left this summer to use a parasol, the price is sufficiently low to make 1t worth your while to buy one now and save for next summer. There are less than 40 parasols to be cleared, so take heed and come early. (Main Fioor)
