"What Was He Werth?" Is a
Question Often Spoken
Between Sen
when some worthy or wealthy individual life
has come te an ending;
Personal appearance, place of residence,
special traits are seldom mentioned, but the talk
is all of his estates, his bank and ether stocks
and his bends and mortgages.
Far better would it be were it known that
after we have finished the earthly course we
should be valued for what we did for our city,'
its schools, its hospitals, its peer, blind and
afflicted people.
We ought te be worth something te our
nation and the city where we reside.

beads. There are hardly two
frocks alike.
Prices are $75 te $125.

A Diamond Ring
Is a Gift of Sentiment

worth many times its cost.
In cheesing a diamond ring
for a gift the quality must ne

The Sports Hat Has
Many Phases
But, by far, the best sports hats
for late Spring are the natural

perhaps a decoration of em
broidery. And the light-weight
felts with ribbon band and stiff
bow.

$25.

Hi ffffll fM I
fruity One-third of the 75,000 Are
Philippine Undergarments
pOR the very geed reason that many women, having become
" accustomed te the extreme daintiness of hand-done lingerie, will
wear no ether kind. And the prices are wonderfully low for such
work, beginning at $1 for drawers and ending at $3.85 for the pret
tiest nightdress.
Next te the Philippine Un dermuslins in Importance
Come the Levely Silk Undergarments
Of washable satins, crepes and Georgette, in the most exquisite pinks,
blues, peach colors and orchids. Often these garments are simply and beau
tifully tailored, often they are enriched with real filet or hand-made lace in
Irish patterns. And they may be bought singly or in sets. Seme pieces of
a rough silk and cotton crepe are particularly charming.
The Peasant Nightgowns and Chemises
Shown nowhere else in the city are another interesting feature. Oddly
cut, fastened with cords and tassels and stitched in four colors. Chemises
are $2.25 ; nightgowns, $3.50.
The Demestic Undermuslins
Colored as often as white are the great backbone of the Sale.
There are thousands of practical and pretty white nainsoek garments
and quantities of colored ones the latter often in sets. The finest include
pieces with hand-made laces ; then there are white things with the colored
bindings se much in favor; and there are plenty of the simpler things which
women lay in by half dozens for common wear and for traveling. There
are colored crepe nightgowns that need no ironing for as little as $1 in
fact, the great majority of the prices run from 50c for a short petticoat te
$4.50 for a petticoat.
Incidentally, there is a wonderful let of sample garments at a third
and a half less than regular.
A few costume slips of cotton are $2 and $2.25 ; of sateen at $1.50.
The White Sale will be found en the Main and Third Floers.
