Three Small Boys and a
Brindle Dog All in Their
Summer Clothes
were in sight yesterday romping and playing
tag in the warm sunshine.
In the gladness of the first warmish sun all
of us were strongly tempted to join the race
with the boys and their dog.
What a difference the sun makes, especially
when in this long Winter we have had it in
scant measure!
How much the sun has to do in bringing
on the blooming flowers, ripening the fruit, and
sweetening the berries!
This orchard of a Store is beginning to
blossom with the new Spring goods like the
Jersey fields of apple trees.

The Stole Is a Much-Liked Fur
Fashion for Spring -
When they ore made of tho lighter weight furs, the fashionable
stoles are really most practical for Spring wear, for they afford just
sufficient warmth without being bulky, and they arc n smart finish to
one's suit or costume. ' .
Some of tho new furs are quite broad, some are moro medium
width, some have pockets, and some have pointed, while others have
rounded or square ends.
There is tho lustrous, deep Hudson seal (dyed muskrat), the soft
pray moleskin, tho pretty natural gray squirrel, the much-liked Aus
tralian opossum, and tho dark brown Kolinsky. They begin at $175 and
so on up to $350,

The Polp Coat's the Coat for
Spring For Young Women
At least you'd think so, judging by tho number of well-dressed
young women who are asking uh for them!
The polo coat is a jaunty, practical topcoat, usually bolted and
pocketed and rather severely tailored. You may have it in velour
or burella cloth, or novelty weaves, or bolivia or fine camel's hair,
and in all the fashionable brown and tan shades as well as other
Spring colors.
$43.60 to $80 and 14 to 20 year sizes.

The Usual Spring Question
Abojit Women's Blue Serge
Coats
It can be answered in the affirmative today, for these coats have
arrived serges and tricotinos both.
In every case the material is a fine all-wool weave, and tho coats
are in black, dark blue and, in the higher-priced styles, tan and covert
shades also.
Starting with a good-looldng -Jcngth scrgo coat, belted through
straps in tho back, rather conservative in style, at $57.50, prices riso not
too quickly to a very lovely hand-embroidered coat at $250. And, within
this range of prices, there are a number suitable for mourning wear.

Men Put on Winter Clothes
Through Necessity, hut They
Put on Spring Clothes
With Joy
I The joy a man feels in putting on new Spring;,
clothes should never make him forget to make
sure of the kind he puts on.
fl Our Men's Clothing Store is prepared with a
fine selection of suits and overcoats of the kind
that a man could buy with his eyes shut, feeling
certain that he was getting all that his money
can get him anywhere and( more than it can get
him in many places. The Value of an assertion
depends upon what is back of it. The foregoing
one is founded on fact.
tj The record and standing of this Men's Cloth
ing Store are such that the only clothing it can
afford to identify itself with, in Spring, Summer,
Autumn and Winter, is the finest that can be had
anywhere for the price.
I We are satisfied that these Spring suits and
overcoats are of that kind and we are not only
willing, but eager, to show that our satisfaction
is not based on false ground, but on the sure
foundation of actual superiority in fabrics,
fashion, tailorwork and finish. It is more im
portant than ever that a man should be careful
as to quality, and it all depends on the man.
CI For Spring suits, $40 to $85.
CJ For Spring overcoats, $45 to $75.
