WHAT THE SHOPSHgU
ARE SHOWING
Big, bigger, biggest—are the words |
that must be used to describe the
new hats. They were big early in the '
season, they have grown bigger every
day, and now there seems to be no
limit to the size of these stunning
sailors. Astrich's Fourth and Market
street, are showing them in all sizes
from the pert little black lisere
sailors with high crowns and narrow
brims, to the smart low-crowned
sailors with enormous brims. A
clever model is developed in navy
blue straw faced with silk to match,
and the brim is edged with narrow
curled ostrich, while tempting red
cherries are arranged against the
crown. Another stunning model is in
black lisere with white grapes, and
is faced in white French crepe.
New White Footwear
Every day new models are offered
by the Walk-Over Boot Shop, 226
Market street, and each seems pret
tier than the last. They have shown
some stunning models in white foot
wear, but now they offer an even
more attractive boot of exquisite
white kid, in a laced model on the
new Georgian bal last. The line of
the vamp is brought up to a little
point at the side front, and just here
a tiny pearl is set in most unique
fashion. The Louis XVI heel has the
aluminum inset which finishes it at
tractively and prevents the heel from
wearing down. Smart models in
pumps are also being shown.
Specialization
Specialization is the secret of suc
cess, and Mr. Ford is not the only
one who has proved the truth of this
principle, for the Himes Hardware
Store. 10 N. Market Square are sell

Charming Easter Baskets
Charming, indeed, are the Easter 1
baskets so beautifully arranged and 1
displayed in the show window of the
Studebaker Grocery Store, Second
street at the crossing of State. Their
beautiful colorings are made even J
more attractive by the contrast of
the snowy white eggs and by the I
way eggs of guaranteed freshness,
and extra large size are a specialty
with Studebaker's and the best
part of these baskets is that they
combine the most distinctive beauty
with the most moderate prices, for

As with any medication employed in
