OF A SUIT ;
Of Clothes is not always the true expres
sion of its worth. It is equally true that a
really good suit of Clothes cannot be sold
for less than a certain sum. If you pay
less you get less, and when you get down
to a certain point what you get is worth
nothing and your money might as well
have been thrown in the street. The
price range is adapted to every purse, and
each price represents just what twice the
amount would buy ol made-to-measure
clothes. In buying these garments you
get sterling value for your money and the
price is held down just ns low as good
clothes can be made for. If you seek to
save a few dollars by cheaper garments you
get worthless ones and all is wasted. We
know this so perfectly well that without
hesitation we say that we will give you
back your money if you are dissatisfied.

Mile Fifi" which will be seen at
the opera house on Tuesday, Jan.
2d is one of the pronounced comedy
successes of the present season. It
is very funny, most adroitly con
structed and thoroughly Parisian
in piquancy. It set te New York
critics in a tumult of discussion,
and even during the blizzardy
period attracted such crowds that'
the musicians were forced under the
stage. It tells n lively story of a
young married couple, a Parisian
Vicomle and a Boston girl, who
plot to obtain a divorce that they
may obtain possession of the mar
riage settlement, it being their plan
to then re-marry and live happily
thereafter. A scheming money
lender plays a very important part
in the farce and 60 dees the Felice
Bergere chantuse from whom the'
piece takes its name. 'Fifi' and
the Vicomle have been very good
frjens in the past but drifted apart
at hs marnagp. lie re-appears
011 the scene at; a prittp.q.1 period and
is discovered by the young wjfe
under circumstances which compel
her to make a serious effort to ob
tain her freedom. Her breezy,
amiable mother, who Ijas detpcted
the bogus plot at its inception, re
fuses to believe that the real quar
rel is in earnest and everybody be
comes at cross purposes with the
result that comic complications fol
low fast and furiously. Asa laugh
maker "Fifi" is most effective but
it contains also a sy mpatheticcharm
