We are working like Trojans counting and measuring until our heads are in a whirl, and we are almost ready to parody Hood's Song of the Shirt, "Work, work, work while
the cock is crowing aloof, and work, work, work till the stars shine o'er the roof measure and count all the day. Fold up and dig out and weigh, until we are ready to cry enuf,
and wish for a holiday." As soon as this is all over we open up new Spring goods. Indeed, they are crowding us now, and before the old is well off, it's cn with the new. For instance,
we have been forced to open up a shipment of NEW FROCKS, and they are just as sweet and cute as they can be. Made from silk, mainly taffetas, stripes, plaids and plains. Our
buyer calls them Restaurant Frocks. What names they do get, don't they? And yet these are not named unfitly for they are just right for that after the matinee or other meal at
club or restaurant Some real enticing ' Spring Suits have blossomed out ali:, in a special case all by themselves. But these things are not what we started out to tell you about. BUT
