Common Sense Is Never
on Parade
It has no trumpet nor docs it puff itself up or
lie blue ribbons on its breast. It simply moves along
on a straight road upon which it is not possible to
be lost. Its presence makes itself felt, not by
antagonisms - or sclf-assertiveness, but by a
perceptible sense of the existence of a present force
to mark out a safe and sensible course of action.
Just to be "it" and do the right thing is not an
impossibility, and is well worth striving for.

and pointed draperies which carry out the same lines.
One foulard has straight panels of chiffon hanging over its
accordion-pleated skirt.
Sometimes the flower-like sleeves aie outlined with jet beads.
A tose-coloicd crepe has rows of white silk tracery. '

Important Special Sale of
Fine Wilton Rugs
In spite of advanced prices the demand for the finest weaves of
domestic rugs is more pronounced than it is for any other kind.
This unusual demand, coupled with a marked scarcity of mate
mis, has greatly reduced the supply.
One manufacturer was so disheartened by his failure to get raw
material that he offered us his entire stock st a much-lowered price.
As this stock consisted of hundreds of Wilton rugs that are among
the finest made in America, we quickly accepted his offer.
Monday we put these rugs on sale at an average reduction of 25
per cent. The saving on a 9x12 ft. rug, for example, is $34.50.
9x12 ft.. $94.50. 9.x!) ft.. $82.50. 22i.x36 in., $6.75.

Spring Brings a Special
Longing for Music
When the birds bptrin
to burst into song and the
buds to burst into bloom,
there is something inside
most of us that craves
expression in music.
Those of us who can
sing are apt to catch our
selves humming at outwork.
And the still greater number who cannot sing are
apt to be caught trying it.
And Everywhere We Hear
Pianos Playing
This is the time when people who have no pianos
want them more than ever. The house seems strangely
dull without music.
Time was when the purchase of a piano entailed
learning how to play it, but now the player-pianos and
reproducing pianos bring the world's best and brightest
music everywhere.

Young Men Getting Back
Into Civilian Clothes
have an agreeable surprise in store for them if they come to this Clothing Store for
their Spring suits and overcoats.
There is no getting away from the fact that the last few years put all of us
on our mettle, and one result is that we have finer Spring suits and overcoats to show
than we have ever had.
This is particularly true of the fashion and tailoring of every garment.
There is a dash and swing and at the same time a trimness in the lines of the
suits which are at once clever, buoyant and distinctive.
The elaborate and careful tailorwork is particularly noticeable in the treatment
of the lapels and pockets, but they show thought, effort, individuality, improvement
all over.
The full price range for our entire stock of Spring suits for men of all age3
begins at $28 and goes up to $65. Spring overcoats, $35 and upward.
