The New Tailored quits
Never was there a season when a
lady needs TO take SO much care in
selecting her Spring Suit. OF course
the style will play an important part,
but unless the garment is stayed
properly it will not hold its shape.
Many manufacturers have been get
ting by without the proper stay and
finish because they could get the
cloths that would stand up under
hard strain.
This season we must rely on our
manufacturers more than ever We
must buy of only those houses which
we can depend upon to give us goods
just as they are represented.
We have been more than particular
this season in selecting our seasons
models, and we can show you line
of Suits that is equal in style and
finish to any we have ever shown, and
the materials are strictly all WOOL

wrought by the Germans. went back

favor Of the German emperor

the kaiser accepting Lucifer II. Sa-
tan's resignation. Bill also briefly out
lines his plans for reorganization Of
hell when he is called home-for. re
gardless OF his claims of close rela-
tionship with the Almighty. our opin-
ion is that if there is hell the kaiser
