The
Commencement
Gown
The "exams" are over.
The eventful day and evening
approaches.
Preparations are in. progress.
Commencement gowns liavo al
ways been famous factors in the
growth of this business. We have
been learning things about them for
a good many years, as fast and as
thoroughly as hard study and ample
opportunity would allow us. We
have long since reached the point
where we can teach others.
One of tho things we learned a
long time ago was that style need
not be n matter of price. It's pretty
hatd to say just what style is; but
it certainly isn't measured by
money. A iow-prlced fabric trimmed
with dainty but inexpensive em
broidery or laces may bo quite as
stylish as one at three times the
price; if it Is designed with taste
and skill, and is cut and finished
with caie.
It's largely a matter of selection,
and we select with a telescope for
new ideas, and with a microscope
for things "passe." There is here
ns a result of this the best collec
tion we know of sheer dainty
fabrics, pretty filmy laces and deft
needle-work embroideries, and ex
quisite ribbons. Every thing that
pertains to a commencement gown.
Low prices, medium prices, and high
prices. All prices, except UNFAIR
prices.
The desirable fabrics are:

An Extraordinary Sale
of Ladies' Underwear....
A manufacturers and importers' lot of samples came to us this week at 50 pur
cent off from the regular cost prices. The lot consists of nearly everything that is made
in the Underwear line, aud when we say that they come from the largest concern in this
line in America, and that there are at least ten garments of each kind, aud that there are
something over three hundred aud sixty kinds in the lot, approximating over 3600 gar
ments, a small idea of the immensity and diversity of the line can be imagined.
We have marked the goods at just half their real value, and together with the fact
that this sale comes now, iu the middle of May, just the right time, when everybody
wauts to buy summer vests aud pauts, makes it doubly iuterestiug to the buying public.
The goods will go out quick, aud if you wish to participate in real Underwear Bar
gains, come early.
