Dress Goods Sale at 39c
Stylish All- Wool Fabrics of Much Better Value,
I his is an assortment of Dress Goods, plain and fancv, that we have selected from dif
ferent lines for a special sale, and reduced to 39c yard. The styles are new and in the va
riety will be found suitable fabrics for about every popular use.
Practically all our regular 59c Dress Goods are included, while among them are many
even finer than this.
Plaids are prominent—particularly shadow plaids—in gray-and-red mixures, gray-and-
brown, gray-and-wlute, red-and-green. Scotch mixtures are shown in small checks and large
overlaid plaids—blue, red and green combinations.
There are also 25 pieces of stylish Albatross—the favorite shadings. Perhaps the last
of this kind that we shall be able to get to sell at 39c, because of the advance in prices.
Dress Goods—-Suit and Skirt Lengths,
We’ve a great many lengths of Dress Goods, in the best styles, that contain only
enough for one suit or skirt. If you can find what you want among nnv of these, you
will save a good sum in the price.
There are plain and fancy weaves in black and colors; all from this season and what
might be expected, among the most popular and best selling styles.
More Crepe de Chines atSOc
Useful for dainty waists and dresses for evening and social wear, of course. But many
arc buying Crepe de Chines at this time especially to make up into beautiful evening scarfs
and ties. These at 50c a yard are exactly suited to the purpose.
Pure silk, the right weight, beautifully finished weave, strong and full of wear; 24 inehes
wide, in white, black and about every good color. Not the usual 50c kinds—better. Wc sell
them regularly at 59c and 75c.
Stylish Silks in Waist Patterns.
•lust enough in each case for a waist—31-2 to 5 yards. Something suggestive of a gift
in Silks like these.
Beautiful in weave, color and pattern. Plain Silks, but mostly fancies—plaids, stripes
and checks—stylish two-tone Taffetas and Louisines—also a variety of handsome patterns
in black, Aripures, Surah and India Chinas. All are priced below value—considerably un
der what they sold for when we had full pieces.
Holiday Novelties
in Leather and Velour,
As a handsome gift—something really useful and ele
gant—scarcely anything near the price will surpass these
beautiful art pieces of leather and velour. There are Mats
and Centerpieces, round and oval, for use in halls, libraries
and offices, long Scarfs for pianos and also tops for sofa pil
low's! ‘ ' ' /
The work is done in leather on soft, rich velour—the
designs appliqued on fields of olive green and red. The
beauty’s in the novelty, and the peculiarly striking, antique
effect. Something finer and different from what is usually
seen. %
These are fit associates for the most expensive furni
ture. They are refined and very attractive, at the same
time protecting whatever they adorn. Not expensive, either
—nothing like as much as you would at first expect.
Small Matt at $1.25
Center Pieces at $4.50
Larger Sizes $5 to $7
Sofa Pillow Tops $5.00
Outing Flannels
for Special Sale
at Sc a Yard.
Here’s a whole center

fleecy fabrics, in checks
and plaids of popular de
sign and color. 8 l-2c qual
