(("fcoml I'loor, t'lienlnut) But there exists such a short ago of good silks that it seems to us a plain statement of facts is needed. Japan is holding raw silk at nearly $9 a pound, the highest it has ever been, and, in conse quence, some of the largest Amer ican silk mills are refusing all further orders. Therefore we arc only able to buy from them what they can sell us. So far we have managed to have practically all the silks that people want, and silks are very fashionable this year. But in many cases we can't duplicate them, especially the finer, exclu sive kinds. The conclusion is obvious there is no timo to be lost if peo ple want theM3 silks. Even now the prices are normal, and we shall try to keep them so as long as possible. Starting with a Japanese white habutai at 85c a yard prices reach as far as $8 a yard for an ex quisite all-silk satin-striped voile with printed flowers, a new and beautiful novelty.

(.Main Floor, Market) -A ,. i v JdiK&& ""SfiC "t Ever So Many Men Have a New Sense of the Values of Things It is part of the reaction after a great crisis. One phase of it is that men feel more than ever that only the real things are good enough. They can" see that the imitation can never take the place of the real. They can realize that the fiber taken from the back of a sheep is essen tially different from and will always be essen tially different from the fiber that originates on a stalk in a field of cotton. They must know that it is no use for any one to try to make cotton take the place of wool in a suit of clothes, because nature itself has decreed that it can't be done. Nowadays, too, nlen have a better understanding of the difference between skilled, careful hand-tailoring and hand-kneading and hand-felling of lapels, and shoulder parts and other parts, and the kind of "tailoring" that cannot keep a garment in its proper shape and, in fact, never was intended to. Not only have men a better sense of values, but they have a keener eye for fashion. The novelty of getting back into "civvies" seems to have given them a new and K clearer outlook regarding the whole question of style. This is all to the good. It is all to the good of the men's clothing store that is prepared to serve men with Summer suits that come up to the highest requirements in fineness of woolen fabrics, in deliberate carefulness and excellence of tailoring, in fidelity and beauty of fashion and in fairness of prices.
