M. only, per yard 78c Silks and Silk Houses A LITTLE TALK BY OUR SILK MAX. THE SILK STORE South Annex First floor. Following our usual custom, we Inaugurate to day the Monday preceding March 1 A Monster Semi-Annual Sale of Dependable Black Taffeta Right here we want to impress upon the gray matter storage cells of Portland's silk buyers the fact that THIS HOUSE buys only from the silk mills direct. One does "not take a chance HERE of buying silks that have been stored away for months or years on a Jobber's shelves, rotting in the dyes or mildewing from damp. The silks HERE are bright, crisp and new, full of "swish" and life, so desirable in silks. Another feature well to bear in mind is the fact that, buying as we do direct from the manufacturers, we save the 25 to 35 per cent of profit exacted from other Port land houses by the "middlemen" they buy from. No "Jobbers" silks here. However, like the Immor tal Washington of cherry (or apple) tree fame, we cannot tell a lie and say that "we have yet to have one complaint about the silks we sell." Wc read a statement of that sort the other day, emanating from the fiery pencil of another store's "ad-man." But like other things from the same source, such statements must be taken with a large box of salt. That "ad-man" has probably about as much knowl edge In a practical way of silks as we would have of putting steel shoes on Croesus. He was using "advertising license" Instead of silk truth. There Is not a reputable silk house in the world but has SOME trouble with their silks. For vcrlcation, we refer to such world-famous silk houses as Alt man, McCreery, B. Stein. Arnold, Constable & .Co., of New York; Marshall Field, of Chicago, and others of equal note. What we have done is REDUCED SILK TROUBLES TO THEIR MINIMUM. What we do do is Just what those otHier REPUTABLE houses Just mentioned do. and tnat Is ALWAYS MAKE EVERY SILK BUYER SATISFIED AND HAPPY WITH HER PURCHASE, and the same ap plies to Dress Goods. New Spring colored and black Dress Fabrics arc here, and the latest weaves, colors and novelties arriving dally. No pains have been spared to bring to this, Portland's Largest and Best Dress Goods Shop, the best and newest the world pro duces. New French spot and embroidered Vciles.

Even Madame Pompadour, with her fine sense at contrasts, never conceived more startling beauty than finds Its way into nearly every lace this Spring. Venlse so heavy that soma stores have put it with the white goods and ombrolderies Is done on etamine In great, massive, exotic flowers and leaves, which are held together by the fragile mesh of baby Irish crochet or Valenciennes. Here Is an allover done on linen grenadine, and into It are let eccentric Venlse designs, which arc augmented by smaller designs, also let in, of boulc lace. These al!o-ers are used for the blouaes of gowns, nnd worn with skirts of linen grenadine, with the venlse lace used as panels or flounces, or merelv as ornaments. A brilliant example of the borrowing of designs, which la a characteristic of tho new laces is shown In a magnificent 10-mcii galoon. There must be at least 20 individual designs In its make-up, held together by a baby Irish crochet mesh here, and Venlse thread mesh there, while flowers and festoons and leaves and conventional designs hold forth at every point. The centers of the flowers and leaves and tiguros aro of grenadine, and boulo lace finishes them off. . Such a iaco is a perfect mine to a dressmaker, and a maze to the woman who goes to her; for the dressmakers separate such laces, and use the in dividual designs s "exclusive." Pompadour flowers with free pctaia. into which is tucked colored or white chiffon, are one of the greatest features of tha season. They are cut out and used as appliques on the bodices and skirts of silk and crepe de chine dresses, while the rest of the lace la used somewhere else In the scheme. Bouie In accentuated designs, with balls- as large as a marble, covered with tiny balls, form the cen ter of delioate Venlse flowers. Masslvo ecru Venise on etamine. mada up of leaves and odd nets and flowers, each of which is used individually as an applique for this or that particular part of a gown. These nre the most important lsces .now. but sverytning thRt is lace or lacy, or pretends to be. is good. Later on Valenciennes Lasc will he more used than anything" else on Summer dresses; but for the pres ent the heavy laces that can be separated and ap pliqued have the eonter of the stage. And prjres are so moderate as to excite comment among the buyers at the counters.
