"Make Me More Beautiful,"
Said a Rose
Tomorrow Comes a Great Special Sale of Summed
Underwear and Stockings
bringing 34,440 pair of stockings and 11,080 pieces of underwear, all desirable and seasonable goods
At Savings Averaging a Third to a Half
No one who is not familiar with the present condition of the hosiery and
underwear markets can begin to appreciate what an achievement a sale of this
magnitude is' at this time.
The large stocks we have put into it represent special purchases and some
former 'special lots reduced. Coming at the beginning of a Summer when high
prices are general in most lines of merchandise, it provides a very welcome
opportunity to stock up for the whole family for the whole season.
; So reads the legend of the moss-rose, when
'the angel of the flowery kingdom heard a
common rose shake itself and wish to be more
beautiful.
The angel then gathered some simple moss
from a grassy river-bank and spread it around
the rose in bloom as an additional adornment.
Yes, indeed, it is not exactly, but next door
to, a crime for anything or anybody not to dress
up to the best to add to the pleasure and
education of each other.
For example, take the case of a man sitting
near us one day last week with uncleaned shoes,
soup-spotted necktie, unbrushed clothes and
horribly neglected finger nails. In course of
time he will be complaining of the neglect of
his friends, who seem to be willing to forget
every man who forgets' himself.
People as "well as places hang out signs of
their own. This Store will be clean and well
dressed every day if nothing else.

Airy, Printed Crepe Gowns
Spell Summer Coolness and
Charm
'When something as charm
ing and as satisfactory as the
crepe gowns of this present
season come along, a woman
wonders how she ever thought
her wardrobe complete before
without one ! They are so airy
and cool and lovely and make
such altogether delightful
gowns, small wonder it is that
Dame Fashion beams so be
nignly upon them.
A group of these new printed
crepe gowns is among the new
things in the Gray Salons.
There are flowered and striped
and checked and dotted effects
and perfectly lovely colors and
combinations. Soft, dusky
taupe crepes with blue print
ings, golden browns with
deeper brown designs, China
(Flrat Floor, Central)
and deener blues and no end of
' black and white effects are in
cluded. And such pretty fashions!
Embroideries dyed to match
the crepes, wide moire sashes,
charmingly draped skirts, new
necklines and just as new
sleeves, silken cord sashes
these are" some of the new
touches.
Any woman who wants a
couple of afternoon gowns in
which she will look her best,
should come" in to see them.
$38.50 to $150.
Every Man Should Be Ready for
Two Kinds of Summer Weather
You must know that the two
kinds of Summer weather are the
seasonable kind and the other
kind.
This clothing store has good
reason to believe that it is better
able to dress a man for both kinds
than any othox store.
The chief reason for this be
lief is because the right suits for
both kinds of Summer weather
are here in as large an assort
ment as the most critical man
can desire and at as low prices
as the most economically wide
awake man will care to pay.
Our regular Summer suits in
cool worsteds and serges at $32 to
$65 are the pink of perfection in
fashion, fabric and fine tailoring.
These are Summer suits of the
(Third l'l
kind that every man must have,
no matter how the wind blows,
and he certainly might as well
have one that reaches the highest
mark in excellence and value.
They are priced at $32 to $63.
Then for the hot, oppressive
days, days when it is a question
not of what to wear, but of what
not to wear, the tropical suit is
the thing, the tropical suit of
"Palm Beach," cloth or mohair or
breeze-weave.
But there is a vast difference
in suits of this kind.
We have the better kind, mean
ing particularly the kind that are
fashioned and tailored in the bet
ter way, the way that makes a
tropical suit hang properly, fit
well and hold its shape. Prices
for these suits are $18 to $35.

Such a Difference Cretonne Slip
Covers Make!
The whole room seems changed
cooler and more livable, and, of
course, there is always the ques
tion of economy to be considered.
It is far more economical to
have slip covers than to try to
do without them, because they not
only protect the furniture dur
ing the season when the most dust
enters the house, but every year
they save three or four months'
wear on the furniture coverings,
Never have we had so many or
such lovely cretonnes as this
year, 35c, 45c, 50c, 60c, 65c, 75c

On receipt of a postal or tele

The Quest of the Wedding Gift
Leads Straight to the June
China and Glassware Sale
Two of the busiest places in Philadelphia are the marriage
license bureau and 'the China Store. There is a very natural con
nection between the activity in both places'.
We arc certainly busy serving people who are buying wedding
gifts of china and glassware; and also, of course, those people
who are buying china and glassware for their own use. The
demand from both sources is the largest we have ever known at
this time.
It ih the surest proof that we have the goods" they are looking
for. These are the goods:
French china dinner sets, $32.50 to $175.
Knglish semi-porcelain dinner sets, $25 to $100.
American bemi-porcelain dinner sets, $10 to $40.
Brilliant cut glass thousands of pieces at savings of 25 to
50 per cent.

tho special, thin-blown needle-etched water tumblers at $1.20 a
dozen.

Furniture to Interest June
If?
..;8&r
One help toward "living
happily ever afterwards" is to
furnish the new home, or apart
ment, in the best way consistent
with one's resources. When we
buy furniture we have to keep in
mind all kinds of practical re
quiiements and we have to pro
vide a stock that answers all of
them.
This is almost certain to bo
the stock from which the new
bridal home can be furnished to
the best advantage. It presents
a variety that satisfies; it em
braces only furniture of quality
and' desirableness, and it offers
furniture of this kind at prices
that could not be lower with
Bafety.
