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.

judge of its importance by personal inspection and comparison of rugs with those offered elsewhere.

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.

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."-. . . .
