Herez are rugs of a sterling type resembling, with certain modifications, the
Govevan and Serapi weaves.
A characteristic Herez shows a field on which, with formal precision, are repre
sented archaic leaves and flowers supported by conventionalized stems, tendrils, the
colors usually being red, blue, ecru and green. Our assortment of these interesting
carpets is conspicuously good, and it is now of more than ordinary interest, because
' we have reduced the prices of a number of pieces 25 per cent.
Most of these are elaborately figured all over and the borders profuse in their
decorative detail.
The general effect is bold and striking. Grounds of ecru, red, mossy green or
tan are covered with conventional devices, curious figures, branching tendrils in
contrasting shades. A number of pieces, however, have rich medallion centers. At
the prices now marked on them they are quite unusual.

tcupies, though it uses it now and then as a voice, as a

A Word About the Nightgowns
in the Sale of White
Especially the high-necked nightgowns which everybody has been asking about since
the cold wave reminded them that there really was such a thing as Winter. Here are
eleven new styles between $1.75 and $3.75 all of good cambric, all with good eyelet and
blind embroideries, all with high yokes, closed in front or with V-openings.
At the same time we have any quantity of low-necked nightgowns, pink and white,
simple and frilly. And there are the thousands of other garments in the White Sale, from
bloomers to petticoats, all marked at 20 to 33 per cent less than (regular, and at a time
when savings on undermuslins and everything else never were more important.
