generally for country wear as tho spring

A conservative model of that sort is

Just aa well as with tho present want
petticoats,
Tho material Is trlcojlne. and tho only
trimming consists of cleverly arranged
rows of buttons down tho shoulders and
at the pockets. Tho deep Joko at the
back Is a detail that makes It oxtrcmely
graceful and the generous phawl collar
ono that makes It a splendid selection
for motor wear on chill spring dajs
And the hat that Is less conservative,
for one does not need to take next sea

buying a hnt. The brim Is of straw,
and the high soft crown Is of tarretn
with a perky bow at the center front.
It is smart, of course, and, moreover,
one of those hats that Is aluavs to

Who Benefits by HirH Prices?
You feel that retail mea prices are too
high.
Your retailer says he has to pay higher
prices to the packers.
Swift & Company prove that out of
every dollar the retailer pays to the
packers for meat, 2 cents is for packers'
profit, 13 cents is for operating expenses,
and 85 cents goes to the stock raiser; and
that the prices of live stock and meat
move up and down together.
The live-stock raiser points to rising
costs of raising live stock.
Labor reminds us that higher wages
must go hand in hand with the new cost
of living.
No one, apparently, is responsible. No
one, apparently, is benefited by higher
prices and higher income.
We are all living on. a high-priced scale.
One trouble is, that the number of dollars
has multiplied faster than the quantity of
goods, so that each dollar buys less than
formerly.

Announces the
Opening Exhibition of
Spring Millinery
The loveliest hats of all the Spring
time will blossom forth tomorrow, and
by this sigi), though all else fail, we shall
know that Spring is full upon us.
Jlost striking is the Directoirc note.
Its influence is apparent in the simpler
hats of every day, as well as in the
picture hats, with nodding plumes and
floating streamers.
But it's in the brisk little tailored
hats that the greatest interest lies, for
they arc the hats that women seek for
the immediate occasion. Here are cheery
little hats of navy blue touched with
bright red; close-fitting hats with wings ,,i
aslant or burnt plumage towering high; l'
hats with the tiniest of flowers used
flatly and closely to form bands and
facings of bright blue.
It is for such hats that most women
are searching; it is in such hats that
the Down Stairs Millinery Salons excel.
