O: 7en Get One Right Away
This is the one fashion in which a suit
may truthfully be said to have been confined
to smart dressers.
On the Continent, in New York and in
Portland you'll find these velvet gowns con
fined, to the smart dressers, to women who
adhere to refined and Quiet styles.
Particularly smart is the heavy corded
corduroy. A fashion note in one of the
New York papers that gave an account of
the Princeton-Yale football game and com
mented on the costumes of the women and
misses, remarked upon the similarity in
dress of all the women present. The ma
jority were gowned in velvet and corduroy
dresses, almost severely plain in model,
which in itself added tone, style and dignity
to the garments.
We have every desirable shade
in stock-
Although there has been a heavy drain upon
our supply "we have still enough on hand to
meet all requirements for the next week or
two. After that there is no telling how soon
we can replenish our stock. Certainly not
again until Spring.

Baskets of the Louis XIV Period
At the beginning of the 17th century French art, both painting and sculp
turing was given over to the imitation of the Italian. It was during that
period when Coustou, Mignard, Le Brun and Claude Lorrain were giving to
France their best painting and sculpture. Artists of that period deemed it
their duty to imitate the antique in their work. It was then that these gilt
baskets were in vogue.
They were used on every occasion in the banquet hall, in the reception
room, in the art gallery and in the ball room, always lavishly filled with fruit
and flowers.
The revival of this fashion Is one of the novelties of the year. It bids
fair to meet with immense popularity.

To Have the Best,To Sell the Best
Is Our Ambition in Art Needlework
We have been climbing upward in our art needle craft department, striving
to give to the public such a department that would put us at the very top
rung. We have left the bottom rung far below and hope by careful selection,
with intelligent help and competent instructors, to reach our goal the fore
most Art Needle Craft Department on the Pacific Coast.
We realise fully how cramped and crowded this department is at present.
We also know we have but one more Christmas to pass, handicapped in this
manner.
The department during the past month has been crowded daily with cus
tomers who have been patient and obliging, realizing that we are doing every
thing in our power to serve them quickly, yet carefully. We have again in
creased our selling space, displaying additional novelties.
We are now showing beautiful examples in art needlework, pyrography and
metrography.
Last week we chanced upon a new idea that of instructing the customer
immediately upon the purchase of a bit of linen to be worked to give instruc
tions at once in embroidering of the same. It has been most successful. Many
women have taken advantage of this new idea.
You would be astonished at the number of tasty, artistic articles, that can be
bought from 25c to $1.00. Many articles that need but a touch here and there
to convert them into the prettiest finished pieces.
