Every Week in the Year
MOT a great many years ago, men who were styled ''lead
ing merchants," found themselves, twice a year for a
period of two months or longer, in a business lull,
usually following the holiday and spring seasons.
j 'Twas then they would settle down quietly, and allow
ylr' ' ; the world to go by and folks would come and go, but
rarely did they carry with them the merchandise de
sired, for always, nothing but "left overs" were there
iL. for selection.
In the Modern Store
Every day in the week, and every week in the year, finds something
new, something interesting, to make a daily visit worth while. New
merchandise is arriving constantly and especially at this season, are
many economies for thrifty shoppers.'
Attention is now diverted to the White Sale with its vast stocks
of white muslin wear, white waists, embroidered flouneings, new white
fabrics for spring, supplemented by price offerings, due mostly to the ;
| over-supply of raw cotton. ■

the author of "Baby Mine." "Twin

its hilarious run at the l-'nlton Theatre,.
New York. The demand from "thej

Armgaard Karl Graves
Armgaard Karl Graves, author of
"Set-rets of the German War Office, "I
anld for twelve years a confidential]
agent for Emperor William, is making
a lecture tour of some of the principal 1
cities of the United States, and will,
appear at the Majestic Tue-day even
ing, at which time an opportunity will;
he afforded to hear at flrst, hand some
of the side facts relating to the great
European struggle. Dr. Graves, (lur
ing his long association with the Ger-1
man Secret Service, possessed himself j
with a fund of information, which
I makes the nucleus for one of the most
gripping and interesting narratives I
i which American have ever been at'- j
forded an opportunity to hear. In
New York City, l)r. Graves' talks
were always received with the great
est interest and his sensational remarks
concerning the inner workings of mili
tary Europe have been inspiring and
i instructive.
There is absolutely nobbing in Dr.
Graves' lecture at which friends or sub
jects ef any of the warring nations
could take the slightest offense. His
remarks are absolutely fair and im
partial; they are based solely upon un
disputaMe facts. Adv. *
Ethel Barrymore
In the course of the theatrical season
no announcement emanating from man
agerial headquarters is more welcome
than that of the coming of Miss Ethel
Barrymore. This most popular of
American actresses is to be seen here
in 'her new play, "The Shadow," by
l>ario Niceodomi and Michael Morton
at the Majestic Theatre, for one per-!
formanee, on Friday evening, her local!
engagement being one of a few pre- j
limjnary to her New York mildi-winter
season at the Empire Theatre. "The
Shadow," under its original French)
title of " L'Ombre," was written for)
Madame Rejane for production in j
Paris, but was obtained by Charles j
Frohman and receives its first perform- j
awe in this country owing to the war;
conditions now prevailing in France. |
Pario Niceodemi is the author of sev-j
eral of Madame Rejane's earlier ac
cesses and Mr. Morton is most easily!
reval'led as the author of "The Yel'ow
Ticket." Charles Erohmau has sur-1
rounded Miss Barrymore with a d'is- j
tinguished company. Bruce Mcßae,
recalled for his association with Miss I
Barrymoro in many of her earlier sue-1
cesses, portrays the male role, 1
and other characters are in the hands
of KJliston. Ernest Lawford, Ed
