Out on Franklin Field or
Up at Princeton
Athletic Field, with tens ofvthousands present,
full of enthusiasm for their favorite sides and
for their particular friends in the thick of the
fray, the whole game turns not on what the
slandcrs-by and visitors think and say, but on
what the verdict is by the judges properly
appointee).
In this great game, 7000 picked workers arc
in attendance, and on many days 40,000 persons
and upward visit us to see the new things and
to purchase what they like best.
The buy-and-sell game goes on every day.
The Public Are the Judges J
and according to what they say and buy, to
what they pass by as no$ wantablc, we continue
replenishing afresh, hour by hour, to be always
in readiness for their necessities.
It is a wonderful piece of machinery of
endless links to be a storekeeping concern,
freshened up day by day.

Nothing Equals
Tub Silks for Real
Summer Comfort
For every garment that is
laundered frequently, it is not
only about the coolest thing
you can find but, in the long
run, it is the most economical.
And for sports wear, "as
every man and woman knows,
there is nothing that is so gcrf
crally satisfactory) or holds its
own. so well as a good grade of
tub silk.
Being our own importers, we
have been able, even under
difficult conditions, to keep a
fine assortment of these silks
here all the time. The quality
has never deteriorated nor the
prices advanced beyond what
was absolutely necessary to
'keep up the standard.
American striped tub silks,
$3.50 a yard.
Japanese tub crepes and
habutais, striped. $3 a yard.
Chinese Shantung pongee,
heavier weave, $3 a yard.

Fluffy Feathers and
Gay Flowers on
These New $10
to $15 Hats
Airy and dainty and most
attractive is one new hat of hair
in a woodsy brown, with glowing
pink roses flat on its brim and
veiled by the brown. A band of
French blue and a demurely tied
bow give it just the touch it needs.
' Or perhaps you'd prefer a
feather-trimmed hat like the one
of shiny blue straw, with rather
straight, short brim, high crown,
a crushed band of blue satin and
an upright ostrich feather for dis
tinction. Youthful and becoming aro the
flower-trimmed hats one of fine
blue straw has a round crown, a
mushroom-like brim, shorter in
back, and a gay wreath of bright
hucd fruits and flowers.
But these are iust a few there
are hair hats that turn off the
face and aie flower trimmed;
there are other feather-trimmed
hats, there arc hats with ribbon
bows and glowing posies-" and
they are in shapes that arc fash
ionable, in colors that women are
asking for, and in small and
larger sizes.
All delightfully new, too!

Tweed Hats Were
Never So Popular
With Men
as they arc this year and
there is good reason.
Tweed hats used to be re
garded as rough-weather hats'
and made small pretensions to
style. Nowadays they arc
quite fine enough in shape, fin
ish and coloring to be worn for
business as well as sport.
Finally, they arc less ex
pensive than other good hats.
