Manufacturers of suits assure us that
no supply of wool beyond that they
have already secured is in sight, and
It follows that our spring clothes are
likely to be made of some other sort
of material. Already n variety of
new materials Is on the shelves of the
stores and In the stock rooms Of the
factories. Whoever needs u wool suit
would best buy It early in the season
before the supply runs out. II may
have to do service for the next three
years: but it Is easy to put up with
this state of things. If all the wool Is
needed for the ever-lncreasing army,
women will do without IT..
There are on hand just now suits

Those very handsome separate

new fabrics for summer set n pace
for elegance and style that Is not
easy to keep up with. But the sep
arate skirts for fall measure up to
their standard, which Is saying more
for these heavier skirts than could
ever be said before.
Many of the new skirts are made of
cloths woven especially for them.
These goods are plain, with borders
