RECORDS
BY ETHEL NJ. PARKS

Record ottendance-record sales
record Uaiues-record prices
Records are getting to be SO COM
mon around the Palais Royal this
week that lUe do not pay much dtten-
ton to them any more:
The management decided to giUe
the people of Washington a record
breaking sale, and thousands of Gus
toners UiU testify as TO holD UeH they
succeeded-far beyond all e1pecto-
tions.
The buyers uied With each other in
securing merchandise that could be
sold at record prices-ard they GER
toinly succeeded.
hauen't the figures in front of me,
but many customers bought in large
quantities one day and returned the
next day for more, making record
purchases. And there you are!
We feared the rain Doutd stop
them, but it didn't; and SO the sole is
going almost as strong in its closing
days as it did during the first days.
1T is really quite exciting-Uhen you
are right in the thick of it.
The things found today about the
store Uhich particularly interested me
and added must to my enthusiasm
Dere-
Exquisite Imitation Pearl on IOory
Toilet Sets, IS pieces, in the knife
edge pattern, also the Pearl on Amber
and she'll. The set complete Is $5S,
but it may be purchased IN separate
pieces. This store is the only place IN
the city where these particular goods
can be purchased, and you Uilt find
then, weH worth looking at, uohether
you purchase at this time or not.
They would make lovely gifts for al
most any occasion.
Real Russian Filet for table run
ners in the usual and also the antique
design. They give a rich look to a
beautiful dining table. Of course,
one can purchase the imitation Rus
sian Fiict, Which gives much the same
effect of the real flet, but Dhen the
price is not prohibitiUe one Woutd pre-
fer It.
Then there are the real Irish linen
iaces, from, one inch to one and a half
inches in uUidth, at the truly remark
able price of 85c a yard. Real Hfet
laces and insertions are only 45c per
yard.
Every day brings in new scarfs,
until IL seems as If there could not
possibly be another color; but the
combinations in cofors, and the Do-
rious materials, make each one Just
a little rewer or different from yester-
days scarf.
Up in the Blouse Department 1
found some charming tailored English
BroadcIofh BLouses Uith the nldnnish
bosom fronts-sone of fancy madras,
others in tiny pleats in cross sections,
and still others With tUo straps Uith
crystal buttons and cofored tie.
They are just the thing for tennis,
for business, and for almost any occa-
sion to ,Dear Uith separate skirt.
The things that haze positively
roued ope- are the neuD sfeeUeless
sport suits of Botany mills flannel.
This is the first shouting in Washing
ton, and they are the most ottrdctIUe
thing one can imagine in q sport suit.
The cut-out trimming is a bit unusual
and decidedly effective. The linen
knicker suits, With sleeveless Jackets,
are close second and Wilt be no end
of comfort for the girls or Uon1en
who really go in for sports seriously,
ard not just to look pretty.
And Donder of Uonders, there are
four new colors IN hosiery-IIIusion
Mirage, Essence (sounds like a cake)
and Vision. / can't attempt to de-
scribe them. But you WiH find them
here if you want something really
nRD.
