Formal Spring Openings at this store have passed with the preceding week. Countless thou

Such elaborate arrays of magnificent, clever creations have never before been seen in this sec
tion. Throngs have declared, without a dissenting voice, that our showings of splendid, superb,
high class merchandise are simply beyond the pale of comparison with any other orVprevious
exposes. ' That our prices are fairly placed has been proven by. he phenomenal selling of the
past. week. We cannot, therefore, be far wrong in forecasting a wonderfully busy week ahead .
' as all thoughts now turn to Easter. And what woman will not buy something new for that
glorious day that marks the, awakening of not only all Christendom, but of nature herself. Make
ready to lay aside the Lenten sackcloth for the donning of beauty's choosings for the glad -Eastertide.
A page of helpful hints lies open be fore you and thousands upon thousands of charm4
ing things await you at the store, undescribed here. ; Easter choosing is easiest done here because
