A week in which all things for spring sewing are featured—a week in which store efforts are especially directed to sections of fabrics and their essentials for spring sewing. Silk and woolen goods sections present their most complete showing; the newer cotton fabrics are shown. It is with a knowledge of the mode for summer that we offer prints, large and small; stripes, bright shades and pastels; bordered silks of many patterns; chiffons, geor gettes, crepe de chines and tub silks. With kasha king of woolens and all kasha-like fabrics in great favor, spring woolens are unusually important. Although we know that for style and value our fabrics are unexcelled, we urge our patrons to shop carefully, to compare prices and quality with those of other stores. With such a short time until spring, one really must begin planning and sewing now, for a becoming new frock that one has made herself will turn some bright spring morning into a perfect day. Striped Crepe 2.95 a yard They fairly speak of summer—mornings and afternoons of sports or watching from the club veranda, and they are not inappropriate for shopping and business wear. Wide or narr6w are their striped patterns in soft shades of yellows, and rose, and tan, cool greens and blues. You’ll love them for their glorious color.

Since the silhouette remains practically unchanged, most of the interest is centered on the fabric. Bordered Silks Pattern 9.75 The straightline frock with jabot or side frill is smartest of this new silk which is so patterened as to indicate yoke, waistline and tunic line. Seven patterns, including black with white, navy with tan, orange with tan, and navy with red brown. The lVsryard dress pattern of this 54-inch material is 9.75. Printed Crep« yard 2.50 Prints being so greatly favored, we have 18 different pieces at this very reasonable price. They are mostly , the smaller patterns, attractive yet conservative in design, and repre senting practically all colors. 36 inches wide. Street Floor Smart Kasharine yard 4-95 Cashmere fabrics are tremenduous ly important. Kasharine it a soft all-wool quality, 54 inches wide, in the favored natural, and in the new pastels. The smartest ensembles are of kasha or kasha with printed silk. Street Floorj Rayon Alpaca yard 1.00 A new wash fabric is this fiber silk weave in stripes and plaids. It is very much prettier than the silk gingham of other years, for it has a highly lustrous finish, the pat terns are very new, and the fabric is one that washes beautifully. Second Floor Year-Round Zephyr yard 50c Quaint English garden prints make this fine gingham particularly de sirable for little girls' pantie dresses, but it is so lovely that women make their home frocks from it too. Many shades, some of them unusual in ginghams, all of which wash without fading the least little bit. Second Floer t t Plaided Wool Crepe yard 4*50 «s Designed by an artist were these wonderful wool crepes, for the plaids are placed as only one who knew might direct. Quite the smartest of spring ensembles might be designed with coat, lined or un lined, of this fabric and a silk frock of the green, the lavender, the blue, or even the red of the fine lined plaid. Street Floor Lightweight Flannel yard 4-95 The finest and softest of flannel cloths and of very light weight, for it is intended for spring and summer wearing. The patterns are wide plaids of exquisite pastel colorings. There are seven different pieces, each 54 inches wide. Stroot Floor Striped Flannels 2.50 and 4*95 / * Since both stripes and flannel are ■mart, striped flannel is doubly so. The patterns are as many and varied as are the colors. The 27 inch width is 2.50 a yard; the 54 inch width, 4.95. Stroot Floor Crepe de Chine yard 2.95 Occasionally, even in this season of plaids, stripes'and prints, one is per mitted to wear a frock of plain shade. Twenty-five different shades of this crepe in a firm, even weave of good weight. Really, an excel lent value. Stroot Floor Printed Triple Voile yard 3.95 From Mallinson come these gor geous flowet-patterned triple voiles in patterns for lovely afternoon dresses and dance frocks. One can not describe the tiny dragon fly or the red-pink roses on their dark ground—at least not as Mallinson has woven them. Stroot Floor Prints and Stripes have so taken the mode by storm that one cannot say enough about them. Our stocks of silks, woolens and cottons all feature them. From Mallinson, Cheney and other famous mills come wondrous new designs and colors. One revels in their loveliness. cIhompson Belden ===“ The Beat Place to Shop, ^fter All”—±-=-= The two-piece sports frock in natural cashmere is just about ‘‘it." Although it comes in other colors, the natural shade is best. With the general shortening of skirts, the waistline puts in an appearance but seldom; In contracdictory fashion, two different dolors of one fabric are much in use— with harmony of material on the one hand and sharp contrast in the shades used on the other. The jumper frock may take a pleated skirt, a circular front or only an inverted kick pleat in the center for fullness. Nothing must mar the straight line. The jumper frock, the kick pleat, the epaulet shoulder, the peasant sleeve, the two-piece frock, real or simulated— these newer features of the spring mode i may be worn by the woman who sews from patterns. McCall patterns, 20c to 45c; Pictorial Review, 15c to 45c; Modele Parisien, 1.00; Vogue, 40c and ‘ 65c.

Second Floor Striped Broadcloth 75c and 85c English broadcloth, one of the most sought-after fabrics. Not only is the material desirable, but the patterns are stripes. The combination is one unsur passed. Second Floor I % Many Buttons fl trim some of the smartest dresses. I Oftimes the very small ones outline im- ( portent style lines of an otherwise plain dress. We’ve really an enormous stock of but tons, large and small, in every color and in almost every imaginable combination.
