of their lives to the good, while others
have the old habit of considering Friday
as unlucky, and will never sit at a dinner
table where thirteen are dining, or begin
any important matter on. the thirteenth
of the month.
It was by broken pitchers that Gideon
triumphed, and boards and broken pieces
of the ship that bore the Apostle Paul to
the shore of the Island of Malta are still
pointed out to inquiring travelers.
To this Store all days of the week are
like the June birds' nests with little eggs
in them or pretty cradles with a mother
bird hovering over the littlest of bird
folks. It is a nest of fresh goods every
morning, some part or other.
With lots of new things coming in
daily, we have also some lower prices
every day to close out something nearly
sold out the day before.
Come in walk about, ask for new
good's and reduced things as you like.
You can always find something good to
buy.

Wise to Buy Dinner Sets
in This June Sale
This applies to French dinner sets in particular.
A lecent American visitor to Limoges has told
the story of the difficulties, under which the manu
facture! s in that celebrated China center are labor
ing. They aie at once confronted with an abnormal
w oi Id-wide demand and a serious lack of facilities
to cope with it, the chief drawback being inade
quate means of lailroad transportation. There is
little hope for an abundant output for a long time,
and as a consequence prices arc likely to remain
high or go higher.
How wo managed to assemble such a rcmaik
ably large and attractive assortment of Flench
dinner sets for disposal in this June Sale at such
remarkably low prices is too long a story to tell.
The thing that matters is that they arc here
and that they are at the lowest prices' for which sets
of the kind are likely to be sold in a long time
$32.50, $40, $50 and up to $175.
Unlimited choice, also, of English semi-porcelain
sets in a wealth of charming and characteristic
colors and patteins at $2o to $100 a set.
American dinner sets are shown in great
amplitude of selection, starting as low as $10 and
going up to $40 a set.
Japanese china dinner sets aie shown in attrac
tive ariety at $35 to $75 a set. The saving on
the entire dinner set collection aveiages about 23
per cent.
A particularly brilliant assemblage of cut glass
i offered at savings of one-fouith to one-third, the
collection comprising the most superb examples
of cut crystal we have eer had and the best
values. Multitudes of light-cut pieces arc offered
at atti active economies.
