A Store Which Has Advanced the Merchandising of the World
f
.J.'HUgl
IswSf
The Wholeness and Size or
Quantity, Quality and Balance
if carefully consjdcred,,gives what Bacon calls the
large "roundabout'' sense of what we are doing in
the mercantile world. .
There is no infallible rule of merit, but we arc
students still learning in the schools of travel and
, experience how to light new candles to keep people
off from the briars along the paths of trade.
This business is not the child of an old store,
born of the customs universal before the Nation's
-Centennial, but a brand-new store in a brand-new
building; not altered from old houses, but con
structed from the foundations upon the hard rocks
of principles and practices which made this business
the father of the American system it had the
privilege of introducing in the United States of
America.
It has been recognized as the pole star of the
retail business frbm Maine to California, and from
Alaska to Australia. If so much has been accom
plished in the, first fifty-seven years, think of what
it is possible to do in the next fiftyseven years by
.those who follow on ! What will be the geometrical
increase?

The Gray Salons of Millinery
Are Aglow With the Lovely
New Paris Fashions
Coming as they do from the most famous Paris modistes,
these hats reflect in many charming ways the new fashion1? which
Paris has created for Spring and Summer. They have but lately
landed, and are such fashions as Paris herself has adopted.
Paris Has p. Rage for Hats of Fabrics
hats of lustrous matins, hats of faille silk, hats of mousselrac do
soie, of plain and striped tlinens", of taffetas, hats of perfectly
gorgeous brocades and soft embroidered crepes. Even though it
is for Spring and Summer, there are quite as many fabric hats
as hats of straw!
And as to the New Fashions
you may expect wide-brimmed hats and quite small hats, for both
are approved. There are many hats trimmed with flowers, and
just as many that are flower-adornodr And there are others with
feathers ever so many! and still others with queer Iruits and
pine cones.
THe few colors run a wide gamut, from rusty biowns to deep
purple, from vivid-hutd greens to soft pastel shades. And there
are blues and violet tones, henna, orchid shades and pinks.
A Special Collection of Hats From
Marcelle Demay, 11 Rue Royale
are distinctive, unusual hats,, original creations not to be found
elsewhere in America.

She Brought a Few Paris
Frocks for Summer Wear

They are of handkerchief linen, mostly in flax and periwinkle
blues, pale and deep rose shades; and are made altogether by
hand. They are very simple straight dresses, with self straps,
'pipings, hand-drawn work and a little very simple embroidery;
all in exquisite good taste.
The prices $45 and $50 are strikingly moderate for im

The Most Beautiful Lot of Fine Cut
Crystal in Years and Close
to Half Price
It is doubtful whether wc have ever had as
fine a collection of cut crystal as is comprised
in this new purchase. Certainly we have never
had finer glass to sell for such prices.
Our own experts insist that there is no
finer crystal made anywhere in fact, that it
has not been, so far, found possible to produce
a better kind.
We purchased this particular lot from a
maker of very high standing, and we are oller
ing it at close to half the normal prices.
Not only is it of the Durest notash crystal.
but the cuttings, decorations and shapes are unique and lovely. Many exquisite rock
crystal pieces are included; and there is a very appealing choice of pieces 'in geometric cut
tings and a notable array of pieces exquisitely engraved, some cut and engraved.
The collection is very rich in articles of novel shape and utility.
ror anybody wanting a piece of cut glass to treasure, this is a rare opportunity.

These are the suits on which young men have set
their hearts and the one thing that every worth-while
young man knows is the kind of suit he wants.
The keener his eye is for the right fashion lines,

suits for boys getting into long trousers for the first time
and going up by clever variations to the suits for young
men who have reached their majority. The fashioning
of these suits has been done by men who know their
business and the suits show it.
The tailor work is wonderfully fine and shows sev
eral new treatments in detail. The trimmings are neat
and harmonious many suits are finished with silk,
either plain or in the much-favoreH iridescent colors.
Nearly all the coats are quarter or half lined. Every
suit represents the utmost in fashion and quality at the
price. $28 to $G5. New Spring overcoats also $35 to
