White Wash Skirts

Wash Skirts are now in good
demand. This bids fair to be
the greatest White Wash Skirt
season that we have ever seen.
The price of woolens makes
the demand for cottons great
er than ever before.
Then you will find that the
price Of the cotton skirt has
advanced but a very little from
the past season, and the quail
ties Of materials are fully as
good as in past seasons.
White Piques and Bedford
Cords are very good this sea-
son. These are cloths that
wear well and always do up to
look like new.
We have some especially
good values in these Skirts at
$500, $3.50, $500 and S3.75.
These are a fine quality mate
rial, made up in the seasons
best Wash Skirt styles. All
cloths are shrunk before they
are made.
In the better grades, such as
the Printzess and Wooltex
Pre-Shrunk Skirts, we can
give you some exceptional
styles and values.

Erskine NJ. Jeffords, who for the past
four years has been a student at SYRIA
euse university, has recently received his
diploma from that institution. The di-
ploma, together with the degree of A
B., were awarded him on the Goth day Of
May at the annual commencement of the
university. From this time on this day
will have a double significance for him,
because his graduation came upon his
twenty second birthday, While in col
lege Mr. Jeffords took a prominent part
in all college activities and was honored
by being chosen president of the Y. N.
G. A. of the university, and also of a
debating organization. He was also cho-
sen as one OF seven from his class Of
several hundred TO give an Grafton at
commencement. He was, however, un-
able to take part in these exercises that
had been assigned him by the college, as
he was at the time at home, where he
has been since the first of May, assisting
his father. Russell NJ. Jeffords, in the
work of the farm, and where he expects
TO remain until called into the service
of the United States.
John w. Stewart writes to his friend
and former employer, l.. Marshall Jack
son, from base hospital No. /, France,

foot will keep him in bed for some time
yet. He asks to have his regards given
to old friends in town and says he can.
