A Suspicious Man Is Not
a Happy Man
" To be looking for an Indian behind every tree or bush
will be bad walking for any one.
. To select your friends, companions and employes
carefully, and trust them is the best thing to do, as long
experience teaches.
Almost every human being wants to do right, and the
men or women who do not want to do right will expose
themselves sooner or later. In spite of everything, they fall
over the precipice ahead, or the wolves around them will
. betray them by howling.
It is a great comfort to have a business that you know
to be right from the bottom up and to live with the people
who work with you, that have the esprit de corps of family
brotherliness, and put themselves in their employer's place
in trying their best to extend and improve the business. Yes,
that's what it is, frying one's best to be faithful.

there is sllver-and-black and an exquisite pale blue metal cloth. Sometimes
the brocade is used softly draped around the turban brim, sometimes it makes
the crown, or again the facing: of a picture hat.

ornament. Prices go from $20 to $95.

Smart New Sports Suis Are What Most
Young Women Want
For if there is one lining the schoolgirl (to say nothing of her
older sister) is particular about, it is her sports suit that she wears
so much of the time.
These new suits are of a heavy all-wool jersey cloth in heather
shades of brown or green. They are tailored with the greatest care,
so that they will fit well and hang well. Of the two styles, one has
inverted pleats' in the back, four patch pockets and a gored skirt. It
is $38.50. The other is similar except for a box pleat and pinch tucks
instead of inverted pleats. This is $36.50, sizes 14 to 20 years.

A Bright Good Welcome From
the Exhibition Sale of
Oriental Rugs
itich, colorful and blooming, the great Exhibition Sale of Oriental
Hugs will greet you. It is abundant in supplies and varieties of weaves
and impressive in its manifold beauties.
We have been selling rugs at a
remarkable rate no denying it,
but we have been bringing in new
rugs and so there is no visible de
cline of the beauty which it pre
sents to the eye or the advantage
which it offers as an investment
occasion.
It seems to us that people are
always seeking for more beautiful
things. We believe that is one
reason why we are all the' time
selling more and more of these
Eastern rugs. They are finding
this a most interesting and ad
vantageous Sale to come to for
them. They seem to understand
that there is nothing comparable
to it in the country and really
there isn't. It is a joy to walk
through it with its wide and far
reaching vista enveloped in the
thousand glorious "hues and har
monies" to be found again only
in these fine weavings,. We could
print a list of rugs from many
lands, a list large enough to fill
this whole page. The pieces listed
are just a few of many beautiful"
things, all at special prices.

"Never Saw Such a Stock of Blankets
and you certainly have the largest, collection of
good blankets I have been able to find anywhere."
Perhaps the woman who said this to us on
Thursday last was over-enthusiastic. At least,
she was sincere. It is undoubtedly a fact that
we have a wonderful stock of blankets, and it is
equally true that it comprises all the good grades
of blankets worth having.
Ve don't know specifically of any blankets
that seem to be cheaper than ours, but in all like
lihood we shall soon hear of some they turn up
almost every season. They always prove to be
blankets of the kind that this Store turns down.
It wouldn't pay our customers to buy them that
is, it certainly wouldn't pay as well as it will pay
to buy the trustworthy aboveboard grades . of
blankets to which this stock of ours is confined.
For regular white blankets of cotton and wool
mixed our prices start at $7 a pair in the single
bed size. From this prices and the qualities
go up step by step to the finest all-wool blankets
made in America, and these are $32 a pair in the
single size.
In the assortment are blankets cut and bound
separately and somo made extra long. Double
and extra large sizes start at $8.50 and go up to
$45 a pair.
(Sixth l'loor,
We have an unmatched stock of plajd blank
ets, ranging in price from $10 to $20 a pair, those
at $20 being of very fine wool and special at that
price. All desirable colors aro included in a
variety ranging from blankets containing about
30 per cent wool up to all-wool.
Gray bed blankets, school blankets for boyH
and girls, porch and outdoor sleeping blankets,
fancy Jacquaid-woven blankets in attractive
colors all aro here, and here $tt.thtfr bt.i ,u
