Sale.
WOMEN'S NEW $28.50 SUITS
?8.75.
2 to 5 P. M. Second-Floor-Salons.
We've rather gotten our cheap imi-.
tators "over a barrel," so to speak,
on the Suit question. Their repre
sentative is running around New
York whining of how his firm is
"stuck" on a lot of old Suits
which he admits to manufacturers
will take "40 years to dispose of."
That's the result of too much gilt
and "gewgaw," and sweatshop
workmanship. Portland women are
too level headed and possess too
much sense to be taken in by such
"stuff ' and won't buy it. Result
Our "shadows" can't get rid of
their musty, tenement-house-made
trash and are therefore unable to
buy liberally of the new Fall styles.
How directly opposite is the situa
tion here. Stocks were never so
low. Our Miss Bernard is sending
us new things daily and you'll find
some of them hero among the sale
Suits today. New Suits, bought
under-price from makers whose
season is over late, smart Mid-
Summer Suits, some at less than a
third of their worth. A word .of
them. All new this season's latest
styles from leading makers, mater
ials include cheviots, tweeds, can
vas cloths and zibelines, in black,
blue, brown and novelty mixtures;
in walking and dress-style lengths,
jackets, etons and blouse designs,
fancy braid and every new trim

of a lazy "lay-off" in a big swing

questered nook on the porch, during

part company with $2.65 today and
