ORIGINATIONS
Louvain Pottery-
A amall importation

Portland Cus torn
House. How little
these Belgians knew
when modeling,
burning and pack
ing ' these bits of
pottery the priva
tion,: the utter mis
ery into which their
country would soon
be plunged. . Our
packers, big, sturdy
fellows, experts in
handling foreign
merchandise even
they handled this
pottery tenderly,
seeming to feel the
influence that the
name conjured up in
their minds. Lou
vain now reduced
to ashes a thing of
the past. What
more fitting memen
to could one possess
than a bit of this
pottery? Surely no
. gift would carry
with it more touch
ing sentiment.

Ail the world knows the difficulty of the present Paris sea
son.' The uncertainty and delay of authentic models gave pre
eminence for the time being to the long coat suit. '
PRESTO CHANCE! The ingenuity of the American im
porters in securing distinguished models from Paris, and safe
ly landing them in America by extraordinary means, has in
augurated a new fashion which has sprung into instant favor,
the short jacket suit. In New York they show nothing but
short jacket suits! The long coat suit is tabooed.
We count ourselves fortunate, therefore, in being, able to
show so many authentic models in short jacket suits.
