But she surely docs wtvrm up our imagination. We begin to look to lh& trees to dress up with new Spring dresses without bpening: their trunks. April's starry flowere will sion make eyes to us in thte woods as if they really had heivts, and the hardy lilac bushes will bloom in white and color down there by the barn or along the fence of the vegetable g-arden and back of the house near the kitchen pump, all oi" them laying to us, "Come and help yourselves; wo want to ;o home with you." But, best of all, birds are coming! YebV they are leaving the South in flocks along the routes their fathers and mothers traveled before them. Watch the swallows and the little wrc;:s going to housekeeping. This is the last full week of March, and April Is at hand. April comes from the Latin "Apriles" and is said to be derived from "apcrirc," to open. Dear, new April, we are ready to open to you ouf'hcst of welcomes.

(Second Floor, Chestnut) r t Our Sincere Advice to Men Buying New Spring Clothes Is Stick to Quality In the end, clothing of quality, clothing made from selected fabrics and made with the fullest degree of care and skill, is always the best clothing for a man to invest good money in But it was never such a good paying investment as it is today. Conversely, if inferior, skimped, poorly, made clothing ever had an excuse for existence, it has none today, because it has never been such a bad investment Now, more than ever, the advantage is on the side of quality, if all men only knew it, as many men do know it. The advantage is greater now than it has ever been, but there is absolutely no advantage in the cheapness that always has inferiority behind it. The system of production in clothing f actories today is all in favor of the organizations that make a specialty of good quality. It is all to the advantage of the man who buys his new Easter clothes from the store that sells the product of these particular organizations. This is such a store and we are ready with a full and really magnificent stock of overcoats and suits of the finest kind that money can buy this season the suits at .$45 to $100, the Spring overcoats at $45 to $75.
