Nothing is so dear to the heart of the lady of the ho use as
her bed chamber. This sacred room is never quite complete,
and therefore an additional piece of dainty furniture is always
acceptable. Nowhere in the Inland Empire can such oppor
tunity be found to Find desirable holiday gifts especially ad
dapted for the ladies. A visit to the store will result in the
selection of some article which has long been needed and
which will bring everlasting pleasure and comfort. We have
exercised especial care in the selection of the stock for this
department, and here can be found Iron Beds whose artistic
lines and rcsplerdent tints and colors would have flraced the
palatial bower of some royal princess. Toilet sets which have been designed by artists equal to the Italian Sculptures
Hangings, which for beauty, richness and tusler would have been, accorded a place in the home of a Roman Senator. It
must not be inferred that all this elligance can only be bought for the price of a King's ransom, for such is not the case, for
in this age, all is within the reach of the wage earner, or the man who supports a family upon a small salary.
