shown their best; we know which has the loveliest
things, most to our taste; Spring will be here soon and
Easter just around the corner.
So, all you have to do now is to go to any of our
Departments, get beautiful new styles, and then Good
bye to the old Winter ones we are so weary of-Good-bye
to heavy somber old clothes and old thoughts of
being "snowed in" and HURRAH for the new and the

Vests and vestee
