High Winds Mean kigh
Tides on the Gulf
of Mexico
Yesterday flocks of half a hundred
wild ducks were caught in many places in
the heavy surf, swept to the shore and
drawn back by the rapid rush of the sea,
to be again tossed in and out helplessly
until relieved by lower tides or lost from
sight.
The high tides of city taxes lay hard
ships on owners of real estate and make it
difficult, in many instances, to sell proper
ties for as much as the assessors mark
them.
The high tides of living expenses are
difficult to overcome, but they were cheer
fully borne because we got something for
them in the winning of the peace that we
are now enjoying.
Whenever and wherever we can re
duce the prices of our goods without
reducing the quality and usefulness of
the articles, we will do so instantly.

'Picturesque Fashions and Many ffet Ideas
lake A Spring Frocks for Young Women
Altogether Lowly
Frilly skirts and the quaint sleeves hark back to half "a century ago, but s.ome of the
collar effects and the new draperies are decidedly 1919 on these new and charming gowns.
Quite a number are of taffeta one frock in a new blue shade has a quaint bodice,
sleeves that are short, novel corded and shirred effect on both bodice and skirt and a verv
unusual Callot collar of brown net. It is $65.
And another taffeta frock is ruffled almost to its waist line, has a surplice-effect
bodice and a little modesty piece of fine creamy embroidery in front and is $65.
Of tricolette in that new color "eveque" is a smart one-piece frock with a long tunic, a
square neck and no trimming at all save the silk tricolette buttons. $55.
Of airy printed crepe in deep blue is a simple little gown wade over blue taffeta. It
has a round neck, with dark blue braiding and a novel girdle formed of plaited taffeta. It
Js $60,
But there are ever so many more of crepe and of foulard, of tricolette and of soft
satins, in all the new shades and new fashions. $40 to $79.50.

New Dinner
Coming to
In French and American sets, new replenishments have
been especially constant.
But the entire assortment of dinner services is remarkably
full, despite unusual selling in fact, there is no noticeable gap
in the ranks.
There has never been a sale in which it has been so easy
to pick out the set that best satisfies one. This is due not only
to the amplitude of the showing, but to the peculiarly helpful
way in which the goods are displayed on one long continuous
counter.
Here you can visualize our entire assortment and see one
pattern beside another in a way that makes selection as easy
as it is satisfactory.
French china dinner sets $40 to .$200 a set.
Japanese china dinner sets $35 to $75 a set.
English semi-porcelain dinner sets $22.50 to $100 a set.
American semi-porcelain dinner sets $17.50 to $42.50 a set.
A particularly fine lot of cut glass made of pure potash
crystal, is selling at one-third to one-half less than regular
priCeS. (I'ourlli lloor, Chestnut)
