A Big, Awkward Fellow
Stepped Up to the Platform
hugging to his left breast an inexpensive violin. The
young fellow seemed countryish, clumsy and dull
and ill at case. Slowly he screwed up the keys, drew
his bow over the strings, halted and gave the keys
another turn and suddenly the tense cords sleeping
uppn the .wooden bridge woke up and the hall was
flooded with music, and an enraptured audience
recalled him for the third time to continue playing.
TTrtitr IStiln ivn rnnw nnoh nthni-T Thnt humhlP.
chap with big feet and a workman's big hands had
found in himself a little (lame of music and had
spent years of what would have been sleeping hours
and holidays to become a disciple of Ole Bull.
If we only knew our powers and used them, and
tuned ourselves up to concert pitch, we could at
least help to make the world better to live in.
"It was befo' de wah," as James G. Blaine used
to say in fixing dates of incidents in his patriotic
speeches, that we planned and planted this Store
before any such store existed in this or any other
city in the United States, and here we are still
tuning it up every day.

1 CHINA SHE
ES AHEAD .
TT IS good to have such an cx
crllent assortment of dinner
ware and glassware during this
wedding month of June; but the
fact is, this would be a remark
able collection any month in the
entire year.
Tlic fact that a good dinner
set or a piece of fine cut glass
is priced considerably below its
lcgular rating does not make
it any the lrss gift-like, but it
does make it all the more de
sirable whether for gift-giving
or for one's own use.
The main thing about this
June Sale is that it presents an
unstinted assortment of stand
ard quality dinner sets
French, English, American and
Japanese also a brilliant gath
ering of fine cut glass at prices
that very sharply contradict pre
vailing market conditions, prices
that mean exceptional and real
savings.
It is certainly true that the
time to buy these goods is
now, when prices are so low,
despite the persistent tendency
of wholesale rates to advance.
(I'ourlli Floor, eiirntniit)
French China Dinner Sots, for
which all countries are clamor
ing, are here at $32.50 to $175.
English Semi-Porcelain Din
ner Sets, a very charming col
lection and notably large $23
to $100.
American Semi-Porcelain Din
ner Sets in unlimited choice at
$10 to $40.
The cut glass collection com
prises a multitude of icmarkable
pieces, notably a group of won
derfully fine crystal in lovely
cuttings at the lowest prices we
have ever known for these goods.

Certain Lovely
Lamps
maj lip seen at this moment in
The Little House. Some are
floor lamps of carved and gilded
wood with color; some are table
lamps of the same type; others
are table lamps of Chinese porce
lain with iron mountings; or of
eaivcd wood covered with silver
leaf; one charming example of
Wiiitc porcelain has" a white shade
and would be a most delightful
bit of color in a room with many
cool blues and greens in its color
scheme.
Pi ices start at $37 for table,
and $48 for floor lamps.

Women's "In-Between"
Dresses of Challis Prices
, $30 to $35
Dresses which a woman turns to with relief when the fog
rolls in at the seashore or a mountain day proves unexpectedly

collars and cuffs and we have several styles of this sort. But
there are others, too, collarless and cut on straight lines.

blue and white and dark plaid combinations arc ami"" the

The Whole Pith and
Point of This Is That We
Have the Right
Summer Suits for Men
One of the things which this store never wants to do is to
make up a man's mind for him.
What it tiies with all its heart and energies to do is to have
the goods for him once he has made up his mind as to the kind
of goods he wants.
Undoubtedly we arc always ready and willing to help him to
come to an intelligent decision, but never to force him. All of you
men know as much about the weather as we do. Today, to
morrow, the day after it may be intolerably sultry or unseason
ably chilly or half-and-half.
Common sense will guide you as to the kind of suit you will
need.
What we wish to emphasize is that if you are looking for
a new suit, either a regular worsted or blue serge Summer suit
for average Summer weather or a tropical suit of "Palm Beach,"
breeze-weave or mohair material for hot, oppressive days, you
will find us ready with the goods ready with the suits you
are looking for.
Not by way of announcing something new, but by way of
emphasizing something true and also time-proving we may tell
you that the mark of every Summer suit in our possession is
quality.
The regular Summer suits of the kind every man must have
are in a lovely choice of fine, cool woolens beautifully modeled
and tailored at $32 to $05.
Superior tnilorwork is evident in our tropical suits also, and
in these it count-, for a great deal of "Palm Beach," mohair
and breeze-weave at $18 to $10.

A Great Lot of Men's Woven
Madras Shirts at $2.65

All aie plain negligee, soft-cut style, and cuffs are the new
reversible type that give so much greater service.

For the Dining Room of the New
Bridal Home
So many newly-married couples have in mind to spend, say, $250 to $400, in
furnishing: the dining room in the new home or apartment.
It is an easy thing to go out and spend a sum within that' range and secure in
return a whole lot of dissatisfaction. On the other hand, it is just as easy to secure
the furniture that carries -with it all the satisfaction that anybody can reasonably
desire.
Dining-room suits that carry satisfaction are here in plenty. Ve have picked
out a few at $200 to $450 for particular notice. There are many others equally good
and equallyVorthy of the new bridal home, or, for that matter, of any home.
