It Seems jHuman to Be Fruitful in Objections on almost every question that comes up. ' To be fruitful in suggestions is a grace worthy of cultivation. It is a fine thing to be cautious, but to be rich in wet blankets is such a setback that it leads to the suppression of endeavor. Many a man or woman has seen a star which, by little doubts raised by advisers, became overclouded and was never seen afterward. Philadelphia, to the actual knowledge of the -writer, has lost and is still losing many fine young men for lack of encouragement. At least two of our largest cities are fishing everywhere for our best young men. Objectors seldom do anything but object, and you cannot build a store like this with objections. Make room for our young men and let's build up the port and the bridges and' the tunnels, and -get a big city upon the Delaware. ' Signed Ojjjj A ', March 20, J 91!). ( " Jap Habotai Most Useful and Economical of Silks We venture to say that if' women realized the true worth of this silk there would scarcely be a yaid of it left in stock. It is the nicest thing for cool Summer wash frocks that anybody could find, blouses for every season of the year are made from it and men's shirts. Because it washes so well and wears so satisfactorily, it is liked above everything else for lingerie, petticoats and negligees, and it makes an ideal dress lining or foundation. Now young women have found out that a soft white habutai is lovely and decidedly economical for graduation dresses. And speaking of economy, there is no wash material to be had that you can use for all these purposes and that is as eco nomical in the long run as white habutai. The white Japanese habutais here were bought before the war and landed before prices rose so much. They have been proved to be the best values at these, prices in this city, 85c, $1.25, $1.50, $1.75, $1.85, $2 and $2.50 a yard. (Flmt Floor, ClieMnut) Navy and Black Serge Skirts Inexpensive sorts which four out of every five women feel they must have for marketing and rainy days and hard wear generally.

Central) Crisp New Gingham Frocks The First to Come for Young Women Seems as if Spring were really here when the new gingham dresses come!

Here Are the Right Spring Suits and Overcoats for Men No one clothing store will ever get all the business, except in a place where there is no other store. The best thing about having many clothing sttres is that it enables men to test by comparison the claims of each. No doubt there are good s.uits and overcoats to be found in different stores, and there are some in fact, too many that are not so good. The kind a man gets depends much upon his principles and point of view. Our new Spring suits and overcoats are made upon the principle that the better they are for the money, the better for our business! The reason they are not better than they are is because we found it impossible to have them made any better, although we tried hard enough. They are made of all-wool goods which is an old story, but one that nobody can afford to forget. They are hand-tailored, but not just in the ordinary way. The hand tailoring in these is of a particular kind which many stores consider unneces sarily good. Every garment is modeled not just so as to be in the fashion, but to typify all that is finest in fashion in every line and curve and detail. Youths' and young men's suits in waist - line models are a remarkable feature of the collection. The regular men's models are also in full showing. We offer every suit and coat in the stock as representing the utmost limit in solid qualities, in fashion, in value, in all that a worth-while man or young man demands from his clothes. New Spring suits, $28 to $65. New Spring overcoats, $35 to $50 (Third New Spring overcoats, I'lnor, Mnrkft) Are You a Book Lover? s If Yes, Have You Looked on the Tables of the Annual Book Sale?

We stand by the new Spring suits we are now showing with a new kind of confidence because they stand for a new and finer kind of quality. The least that any one of these suits will give is the most that any suit offered at the same price can possibly give. Which is another way of saying that you cannot get better or more reliable suits .for the money anywhere. Many are suits that cannot be equaled at the prices. This is true in particular regarding the details of the style, the tailoring, the trim mings and the finish. Jt will be much more pleasure to us to" point these out to you as they actually exist in the suits themselves than it is to tell you about them here.
