Ideas Have Been Admirably Carried to a Point of Perfection One of the most prominent features of these Spring Coats is the stunning patterns of their materials. It is more than probable that five years ago these same pat terns would have bee deemed far too "loud". But times "" and ideas both change, and the superb and striking fabric of which these coats are made are the most stylish and popular of the present season. As for the styles in which these coats are made, there is very little that we can say here, because anything that we could shy would fall far short of conveying to your mind a just impression of their beauty and becoming ness. Here you will find all the popular three quarter full length models. Suffice it to promise that you will find, here the very newest fashions and all of the newest fashions. It has been our aim to represent every good style here, and we are confident that we have succeded. We'd like every woman in town to inspect this collection of Spring coats, while it is complete. Can't you arrange to come tomorrow. " f I jeoartment Store. The case of John Ganson et nl, of Hershey vs E.
