name was Carrie N. Parker, was also
granted a divorce from Nathan 13.

gether for six months, when Itnhinaun
took her back to her former bnUtfl and
left her there, and afterward rofnaod to
provide for her. Jealousy on the p.trt

Goes as far in buying a fine Dress Suit
this season as $20 did last.
Vv e name this price because it is one that
many like to pay; you certainly know
by this time that we've proportionate
values at
$8, $10
Our showing at $15 is a grand one, including all
the fit and fashionable fabrics in strictly tailor-mada
garments with a style and finish about them which no
tailor can improve upon.
Not only is the price quoted about half what a
tailor would charge for the same quality of suit, but
there is also from $3 to $5 more value in them than
$15 will buy in any other storj.
