Second Floor A Most Important Sale of n m i i i A Special Lot of Mossouls and Belouchistans Arranged as a Practical Demonstration Of What Constitutes Real Price Reductions These price reductions are based upon original prices that are fair and equitable, and at this time represent a substantial saving to rug purchasers. We purposely refrain from extravagant statements regarding this sale, preferring to have you judge of its importance by personal inspection and comparison of rugs with those offered elsewhere. $27.50 Mossoul Rugs $19.85 Size 5.6x5.6 $35.00 Mossoul Rugs $26.75 Size 6x4.3 $47.50 Mossoul Rugs $32.50 Size 7.6x4.8 Just 200 pieces of fine Mossoul rugs, most of which are genuine antiques in their natural state as they left the hand looms, and are guaranteed 'un doctored." Each rug is typical of the wild, mountainous dis trict from which it came made by the robber tribe of Kurds from the wool which they steal from the semi-wild herds of sheep. As we buy all these rugs direct from these tribes, we are able to offer you better original prices than can be had elsewhere. $17.50 Belouchistans $12.85 Size 5.1x2.7 $22.50 Belouchistans $16.85 Size 5.5x2.7 ' $27.50 Belouchistans $19.85 Size 5.10x3 Just 300 pieces of fine Belouchistan rugs in their soft, rich, subdued colors of wine a.nd mahogany reds and dark rich blues and lovely brown shades.

Our Oriental rug expert personally selected these rugs, and as he spends a great part of the year in these districts, he naturally can secure the pick of the market the choicest specimens the most typical examples in fact, rugs of a quality that are seldom offered at special re dactions. Fifth Floor. Postscript The echoes of Spring are every day becoming more in sistent. The lilies in the flor ists' shops are carefully sav ing their long, green buds un til the proper season, and the hyacinth bulbs have begun to sprout A few jaunty daffo dils aire out to cheerfully has ten the going of Winter. But in the "Ateliers," be hind closed doors, where the fashions are "originated." everything is in radiant bloom. Here, indeed, Spring is full-fledged. There is no hint of frost-nipped breezes and belated snow-flakes, and Spring fashions, eager to blossom forth, are awaiting their turn. Here are the new hats small, for the most part, and, like the Spring flowers, depending for their beauty on their freshness and simplicity and the new suits, of which the "cut" would astonish the makers of puzzles and cause them to blush for the crudeness of their efforts. The gowns,, too. and the "little frocks" are amazingly eccentric. Al together the arbiters of fash ion have "sprung" much that is new and unlooked-for. Says one of them, speaking with the dignity of an abso lute monarch: "Fashions are to be more subtle, more im aginative, more feminine, so to speak." And, in referring to those gentlemen, it is only fair to add that they are tireless in their quest of ideas what ever may be one's personal opinion as to their worth. One of them is at this very moment delving about among the ruins of an old buried city of Ceylon, in search of new designs for embroideries to be used on tea-gowns and other garments. Another has been engaged in studying the fine distinctions between Chi nese "Ming" and "Man chu," for the purpose of em bellishing our gowns. Verily, these arbiters of ours deserve great credit Already the first of their creations are to be seen in the millinery and suit salons at Lipman, Wolfe & Com pany's. They are lovely yes they are truly delight ful. And what is more to the point they are astonishingly becoming perhaps because of their great variety. "More feminine" they surely are which is interesting hews, is it not? . We know a plucky resource ful little woman who "makes everything herself." We dare say that there are many of them. We hope there are. "I always find your dress goods displays so helpful," she told us yesterday. "Even the windows teem with ideas. Why, yesterday I saw a lovely piece of dull blue Eponge draped in a way that was perfectly inspiring I bought enough for a frock, with a gorgeous"bit of Bulgarian trimming to match. For the new models one really must use the new materials to get the best results. " There are so many lit tle puckers and folds to deal with but the new fabrics simply drape themselves." This advice tallies so nearly to that of a famous French cpu turiere that we quote it as a "tip", to all home dressmakers. "Mon Dieu," she exclaimed with a devout slirug, "the trouble is that people will begin at the wrong end. They should start with the material. It is the goods that gives inspiration. You se lect a beautiful design but with the wrong material you will have nothing. Always select the material which will adapt itself to your model and the dress will make itself."-. . . .
