BEAUTIFUL silks Yhonsands of Yards of The Most BeailtifUl. third shipment COMES ——- " —— And in Spite of Rain the Sales Have Begun. I quit my “continued sto ry” on yesterday, while in the silk department, but the villian still pursued her, and today, in spite of war or rumors of war, an d though municipal adminis trations are changing and the rain is falling and the Masons j are gathering in Rome—why I propose to pick up the silk thread of my story, waste no further time in skirting about and re sume the narrative. “To have paid your respects to this department,” remarked Manager Sam Powers, as he 8 ood in front of an ocean of folded billows of silken beauty, •‘would have been easier on Saturday than it will be today, for we have this morning open ed up a shipment of the justly famous shirt waist silks, which adds scores of patternsand thou sands of yards to our big stock of silks.” And while he piled down a dozen of these beautiful patterns before me, he continued talking. Said he: “Every fashion mag azine for the past three seasons has opened up with an article, the object of which was to rele gate the shirt waist and sepa rate skirt—but all in vain. Dame fashion has not yet succeeded in routing a combination in woman’s dress that is so happy, blending economy and beauty, i comfort and dressy effects.’’ The shirt waist and separate skirt has come to stay, seems to be a verdict from womankind in t spite of the biased charge of the judgess, Ohl Lady Fashion. Recognizing this as a condi tion and not a theory,Bass Bros & (lo.,have prepared to meet the emergency. "1 his is the third shipment already this season,” said Mr. Powers, and all the time he was doubling, folding, catching to gether and otherwise arranging the blend of beautiful colors to catch and captivate my mascu line eye. Ihese new arrivals were taf fetas in fancy plaids, stripes and checks, and rangedin price from 39 cents to sl. with these the swellest development of the season is the rutiled taffeta skirt. They are 111,11 'clous creations when view ed on a fashion plate or grace Pm} gliding— they are made in Culms of every hue, though the most popular is the solid black. Jn this department I found a ‘ ?0 a most elegantly entrancing ll( ‘ ol black brocaded silks with B ,( ’s grain grounds and rich sat in figures of a conventional de sig !1 , also the same style of ground with vayadere satin stripes. 1 here can be nothing richer 11 ‘tn entire costume or a sepa latl skirt, and the money figures <qually interesting, being ,ll 'll on a rock bottom ground '* cents, and t woven up to a J1 25 stripe. Vi. Powers showed me a big 1,16 of changeable and solid col °^ s >n taffetas. In the profusion 1 hois tdie “Burnt Orange” is ■ "'“I io be the most popular, c sely followed by the Ameri- C ' l " i’cnuty, a color that came kite last season and became So popular. khandsome calling or street costumes, the most popular this season is the silk grenadines. 'These are made up in scores of combinations, in solid black, colored figuresand s'ripes, over color or black silks and trimmed with lace, ribbons dr passemen terie. (Not finding that last word in the wardrobe of my silk vocabu lary, I asked Mr. Powers to spell it for me and therefore have it right.) In making this story “to be continued” I.want to advertise you to look out for the next chapter. “Kash.” ANNOUNCEMENT.
