A Splendid Woman Very
Silent at the Dinner Table
where everybody was talking, was asked afterward
by her friends, "Are you sick? You hardly said a
word tonight." "Why, no!" she replied, "I am not
sick. I enjoyed fhe evening, butI never talk when
others do it so much better than I."
She was perfectly honest about it, too. So
many are like her that it seems vf air to put in this
word that every one at a dinner table, without
exception, should contribute her or his portion to
the general enjoyment of all.
M, No one need be a sponge or a piece of gauze
absorbent.
With a little thought and for the sake of our
host, if no other, we should try to make social
occasions enjoyable all around the table or room.
In this particular instance, as is almost always
the case, the person this refers to had special
personal experiences she could easily have talked
about to the delight of the people generally and
particularly to those who sat next to her.
This Store is not all for one, but it is all for
everybody to use, enjoy and help to improve for the
general good.

J We practice this principle in our own
interest as well as in that of our customers.
CJ We cannot practice any other principle,
because the only kinds of clothing we can
afford to sell are the best kinds that can
possibly be had for selling' at our prices.
J Putting it another way, it is not only true
that we hold to the highest standard of
quality, but, as a matter of fact, we could
not afford to adopt a lower one.
J We have the highest quality ready-to-wear
suits in America to show to every man
who comes into this clothing store tomorrow.
These suits are the sole reason for the state
ments we make here, and we leave it to any
fair-minded man to say whether or not they
bear them out.
CJ They are priced at $28 to $65, the least that
suits of the kind can be marked regardless
of what any other suits are sold for.
f Their strong points are the all-wool
fabrics, the extra careful tailoring, the
superior fashion trimmings and finish.

In choosing a bedroom suit, as in choosing other things, there
is a distinct advantage in having a large and varied field of selec-
This is so obviously true that people do not need to be informed
of it, but just reminded of it. It is equally obvious that our assort
ments of bedroom suits of a handsome and high-grade type are un
cqualed; but just now they are especially interesting by reason of
the number of beautiful new suits that have been added to them.
Among these is a 4-piece bedroom suit at $312, in shaded ivory
enamel. Louis XVI design, consisting of a 48-inch bureau, a tripli
cate mirror vanity case with sis drawers and a service shelf, a full
size bed and a chifforobe. v
Another attractive new Colonial suit at $369 consists of five
pieces. The beds have solid head and foot with a quaintly turned
post. If sold separately the beds are $130 for the pair the bureau
is $95, the chiffonier $76 and the dressing tablo $62.
At $345 there is a quaint little Colonial bedroom suit in an
ivory and decorated effect. The wood knobs are of a pale .grcen,
(Hlttll Floor)
shade. The other colorings black and stippled. Eight pieces in this
suit and the bed is full size.
For a 5-niece bedroom suit finished in brown mahogany tha,'

burl oval decorations. The beds have curved-end footboards; tha
