Ready Monday With New Goods, Lower-Priced Goods and Good Humor
In Exactly the Same Way
As the Good Woman
olans and arranges her home to express her idea of
what a home should be in every particular so far as
her means admit, just so our idea of what a proper
store should be to be of benefit to the public is shown
by what we arranged here years ago and what we
have endeavored to improve upon year by year.
Stop for a Moment
1
to think of the old store and contrast it with the
present one.
It has been an all-controlling idea with us from
the beginning that if we could assemble under one
spacious roof whatever would best serve our patrons,
it would naturally follow to be for our own interest
also.
In one's home hundreds of small things that
have crept into it to make it what it is came
gradually, one by one, and day by day, out of the
mind and heart of the house-mother, whose dear
hands have made it to be the best place on earth to
you.
Just so this Store has come to be what it is.
Sometimes it is harder to do little, almost
insignificant things than it is to do the bigger things,
,but somehow they often add much to our
satisfaction.

"Mimi," the Famous Frock
for Young Women
In Crepe de Chine at $16.50
Young women of 14 to 20
'have tremendously liked this
pretty "Mimi" dress of
heavy crepe de chine, with
its ribbon-bound neck and
sleeves and its narrow rib
bon sash.
Now, here it is to sell at a
much lower price $16.50.
The crepe de chine, while
not so heavy as in the
higher-priced model, is still
a very good quality indeed
remarkable for this price.
It comes in a good navy
blue or black, with the rib
bon garniture in soft gray.
Or in flesh color or white.
A decidedly pretty and
practical frock.
Ask for. it in the Young
Women's Store.

with stripes of gold or sil

crepes de chine in alternate
colors, Roman-striped silks

Glassware in Orange and Black

The people who made this
glassware may or may not
have been thinking of pro
ducing something to add
piquancy and delight to the

achieved that purpose. You
can well imagine the arrest
ing effect of this oddly col
ored glass used judiciously
in that connection.
The glass itself is orange
tinte"d, the edges are black;
