THE REASON.
She told her ardent wooer no,
And vowed she would not wed.
An Independent single life
She much preferred, she said.
And then she bought a princess
gown
To suit her figure tall,
It had so many buttons on
You couldn't count them all.
She proudly donned that stunning
frock,
But soon she found, alack!
She could not reach around behind
To fasten up the back!

But to mo she's never prettier than

There's the windy tennis tousle that

And the fluffy auto tousle, by heck,
Is just the same;
But whon it comes to tousles that

It's tho parlor sofa tousle when tho

There havo been so many cries of "Wolf!" "wolf!" In the advertising field, that It Is sometimes
difficult for the public to distinguish between a genuine announcement and n false alarm. If we
could meet the readers of The Times face to face and talk to them for just two minutes, w0 could
convince them and our line of Men's and Boys' ready-made Suits would not last half nn hour.
That's because wo mean just what we say. We aro going out of the ready-made clothing business
for good The suits we havj on hand are being sacrifice at almost any price to get the money out
of them and close out. When they aro gone, there will bo no n ore nt any price. Just bear In mind
