FOR THE BOYS.
Bunches of Chrysanthemums, Lilacs and Iris, blooming, beds of Carnations, Poppies and Narcissus and trellises of Morning (i lories in full bloom describes the beauty of our fine Organdies, Dimities and other wash stuffs. The. softest touch of the artist's brush and the greatest skill of the printer's avt are combined to rival nature in beauty of design and richness of colorings. This year the domestic manufacturers vie with the foreign in producing marvels of prettiness. We show an immense selection of both and sell them at corresponding prices. For instance: Foreign Organdies are 2(Je, 39c and 50c. Domestic Organdies are 15c, 18c and 23c. if you pay a foreign price be sure you get foreign printings.
We show the only foreign printings in the city, and our patterns are not in danger of being common, never more than two dress lengths of a style.

Why waste your time and energy and planning these garments when you can wear away a dream of beauty for a few dollars and never but a trifling sum more than the material would cost? The best of materials, lastest styles and perfect workmanship. They are dress-maker made with half or three-fourths of the price of making left off. Five to six dollars covers many handsome styles. Other prices, more or less.-
Shirtwaists promise to be as popular "this year as last- We are just receiving the latest conceits of the New York makers, many of which are extreme novelties and are indeed beautiful after one has become accustomed to the new sleeves and other important changes. The materials embrace the ever popular dimities and fine lawns as well as the more novel Scotch lappets and etamines. The colorings are brighter than ever before and some important changes are noted in the yokes, collars and cuffs. The full line will be ready for your inspection this week.
We arc prepared to shirt and waist every boy in this county from 3 to 14 years of age. For the little fellows of 3 to 8 years of age we show a handsome line of Fauntleroy blouses in white and printed lawns handsomely trimmed with ruffles, laces and embroideries while we show the ever popular "Mother's Friend" shirt waist for all ages. We have just added a line of boys' laundricd and unlaundried shirts for ages 10 to 15. Some are all percale, some are white bodies with percale bosoms, with collars to match. Colors arc fast fit per feet. Prices, 35c, 50c, 75, $1.
TO MATCH EASTER GOWNS.
We have made a special effort to matchthe new spring gowns with gloves, fans, veiling, hosiery, belts, etc. The new kid gloves are beautiful in their delicate shadings of greens, reds, helitropes, browns, tans, modes, cream, white and butter colors. Most of them are
heavily
silks of self colors or contrasting shades. New veilings a,re with larger dots in black, green, helitrope, white and red. The beauty of buying veiling here is the price.It's rar°]y more than half the price charged in millinery -es. New belts come in shades of green, blue, red, browiA an, and of course black with large harness buckles. Elephant skin is the new leather. Hosiery are to match the new shoes,
as ox-blood, and a dozen shades of tan and leather shades,. cadet blue and stone grey. Some of the newest fancies arc beautifully striped with Persian shades. No matter where you buy your costume ten to one you can match it better here in these items than any place else.
