.These Outing Gowns Are Unlike the
Ordinary Kind
We mean that they are more attractive—that she who
wants the soft warmth of outing may also have a more neatly
made, better looking gown than is usually the case.
And this in the 50c and 75c gowns of striped outing with
turn-over collars, square yokes and braid trimming, as well as in
those at $1.50, $2.00, $2.50 and $3.00 that are of the most
delicately striped outings, often buttoning in pajama fashion
across the front and having band collars.
See These Nainsook Gowns at 95c
And you will form a new opinion of how attractive a gown
can be made for 95c. High or V neck with long sleeves The
yokes show a great deal of very fine tucking, and they and the
necks and the sleeves are finished with really dainty embroid
eries.

Department Third Floor

with only their wants in mind, could possibly make it.
Its stocks begin with
Little white dresses and wraps, caps for the new baby.
And from then on it takes good care of every little detail
of her dress until she is a budding Miss—just what good care
this is we want you to see and judge for yourself.
Judge—
-—by the smart little coats of cloth, plush, corduroy,
velvet, mixture weaves that we have gathered in sizes
from one to six years at prices from $3.00 to $25.00.
---by the dresses ol percale, gingham and repp for the
school-going girl.
—by the tailored suits for Juniors, suits that show all
the marks of the styles of this season, or by their coats,
right now particularly interesting since they are so dif
ferent from those of former seasons—the new Johnny
coats and the new Mackinaws, with hats of the same
material.
Or judge by the Children’s and Misses’ Millinery that
brings every kind of hat from the plain little felts to the charm
ingly trimmed velvets and velours-priced from $1.50 to $15.00.
