when you come to make selection.
Of especial interest just now are the Silk Poplins, Silk
Lansdownes, Wool Poplins, Batistes, Soliels, Directoire Cloths,
Silk Eolienes, Silk Voiles, Henriettas, Prunellas, Wool Satins,
Proadcloth.
Cloths with satin finish seem to predominate because of the
dictates ol fashion for soft, clinging gowns.
Comparison of prices here and elsewhere will, we are sure,
leave the verdict iu our favor.
Very special offering ol
Plain Brocaded and Printed Di
rectoire Silks at 29c and 39c.
Thirty inches wide and in all imaginable shades and color
in' such as Gray, Natural, Champagne, Mustard, Bronze, Mel

say when you see them and the price is wonderfully low. The
assortment is large, but we advise an early selection.

"He Isn't stingy," declared the
young woman, rather Indignantly
"I'm mire he's as generous as he can
be In most things, but '
"Oh, I know," suld the elder wo
man. My husband used to be
great de;il the same way."
Indeed: exclaimed the young
woman.
"Until he got educated," said the
elder woman. " I had to educate
Mm, of course, and you'll have to edu
cate William. Arguing Isn't any

"I know," said the young wonian
Edly; "I've tried it."
"And crying Isn't any use," said
he elder, with sonje severity.
The young woman blushed and
fclauced hastily at a mirror that hung
on the wall.
"No, your eyes aren't red," sr.ld
t'ie elderly woman reassuringly
"but you've been crying, and I tell
on It won't do and coaxing won't
lork one time In a dozen."
"Then how?"
"I'te your common sense. There
are lots of ways. Take blm to shop
with you the next time you i;o.
That's one pretty good way of malt
ing him realize that a woman can't
dress on nothing."
The young woman shook her head.
"You don't know William as well as
I do," she said. I'd be worse of!
than ever and besides he wouldn't
go."
"Oh, yes, he would," said the el
derly woman, confidently. "Ho will
if you manage him properly. You
tell some womnn friend what ex
quisite taste he has when he's around
and notice how he'll begin to swell
up. I never knew the man who
didn't believe that he knew more
about what was becoming to a wo
man than she did herself. Then
follow that up by asking him to help
you Belect a hat. He'll do it fast

enough if you can make him really
believe you depend on his judgment."
"But my dear!"
"I suppose you think he'll pick
out some $5 honor or somethiug
that doesn't suit you at all."
"I'm afraid he would."
"Well, he woul(ln't.
Go any place where there's a
fairly good assortment, but not
where they take $30 hats as a matter
of course. All you've got to do is
to pick out an Intelligent saleswo
man and insist on something Inex
pensive. If she brings you anything
over $8, say: Oh, dear, no. I can't
afford to pay that price.' "
"I don't see "
"Well, you will. You'll see that
he'll Insist on seeing something bet
ter and you'll see that he'll be about
as helpless as a babe between you
and the saleswoman, and he'll see
that the only way be can assert him
self is to urge you not to consider
expense. Don't tell me he won't I
know 'em. You can have any hat
jou want and he'll go out of the
store under the impression that he
selected it. And you don't want to
disabuse his mind, either. Tell hira
that you think the hat is perfectly
charming and you are afraid he has
been extravagant and the one at $11
would have done just as well. See
If he doesn't tell you that it's econ
omy in the long run to get a good
thing and that you will get more
than t'i worth of satisfaction out of
the difference in the price. But
don't ever let him convince you."
"Why not?"
"Because it wouldn't do. ' Hut
don't fall to tell him how your
friends raved about the hat and how
surprised they seemed when you told
them it was his choice and how they
said they would hate to have their
husbands pick out a hat for them
and how you thought so, too, but
didn't say it. And mention casually
as the thing goes on to any company
you have that you always let Will
iam select your hats on account of
his exquisite taste, the only draw
back being his criminal disregard of
price. Same thing applies to gowns
or anything else."
"But It would be awful to have to
be everlastingly taking him around."
"You wont have to," said Hie el
derly woman. "Don't you worry
about that. He'll get tired after the
first few times and let you get what
you want yourself. But you won't
bear any more talk about extrava
gance. He'll have got his horizon
extended. Hut don't on any ac
count let him lose his own good
opinion of his taste."
"It seems a little deceptive," said
the young woman, "but I almost be
lieve I'll try it." Maria King.
