Suits in the Newest Shades and .
Weaves
Are Here For the Inspection of Style-Loving Women.
Easter Sunday is March 23, two weeks earlier than last
year, which explains why at this early date new merchandise is
pouring in more rapidly than ever before, at this time of year.
And there never was a style exhibit in which Dame Silk, uni
versally acclaimed Queen of all dress fabrics, did not receive
the lion's share of attention.
Our showing to date gives a remarkably comprehensive
idea of the coming styles. For instance : Printed Bulgarian
satins, the high novelty for use with Springtime costumes;
plain and brocaded charmeuse; Persian prints; brocaded satins;
brocaded crepes; plain satins in brick red, Nell rose, burnt
orange, and other newest Spring hues.
It will be a pleasure for us to show you these beautiful
new silks, today, or any day in which you care to inspect them.

Wool Batiste, 50c
All colors in fine, smooth closely woven all wool batiste.
The weave and the finish of this particular batiste impressed us most
favorably and we gave the mill making it preference over all other batistes
on the market.
And whei you see it you'll give it the preference over other batistes be
cause of its superior weave and finish. And you'll be delighted with the
colors bright, clear, crisp and distinct.
Two New Nemo Models
We would like Tionesta women to see. Those, in particular, who from ex
perience know what a wonderfully satisfactory corset Nemo Corsets are.
Then the other few who have never worn a Nemo should note the ad
vent of these two new models and for form's sake and style sake investigate
today the merits of this wonderful corset system. A corset designed by
the acknowledged corset genius of the age for "Her Majesty," the Ameri
can woman. A corset of extreme length that's as comfortable as an old
shoe, the manufacturer says. Come today and let us show you and tell
you why.

Fireman's Unique Wedding.
A fireman's wedding in a burnt-out
church is certainly something of a nov
elty. Such a wedding has jimt taken
place lu the chancel of St. George's,
Leicester, the greater part of the
building having been destroyed by fire
last year. It was the first fireman's
wedding in Leicester, and the bride
groom's colleague, formed a guard of
honor and arranged an arch of axes,
etc., under which the bride and bride
groom passed out nl'ter the ceremony.
Fireman Sturges, the bridegroom, was
among those who fought the flames at
St. George's last October. London Tit
Ulls.
Should Serve as Warnings.
"The follies, vices, and consequent
miseries of multitudes, displayed In
a newspaper, are so many admoni
tions, and warnings, so many beacons
continually burning, to turn others
from the rocks on which they have
been Bhlpwrecked." Bishop Home.
Practical Minded.
"Am I required to exchange wedding
gifts in the department from which
they were purchased?" "Xot at all,"
said the floor-walker. "Thank you. 1
would like to exchange a rose jar for
a frying pan." Washington Herald.
