We never approach St. Patrick's day but the jingle, "Two and two, away wo go, up Broadway, through hall and snow," rings in our ears almost as bad as a "Red trip slip for a three-cent fare, etc." which we may soon h humming. Anyway the Saint's day will soon be here. Wo have Postals, Dinner Cards, etc. Without any further publicity than appears in the press tonight and Saturday morning we will make a test of the value of advertising by placing on sale at Glovo Section 50 dozen pairs of choice Smachen Gloves, sold usually as prime kid; popular colors, aU sizes; sold in most stores at $1.00 per pair, Saturday QQ a pair. 1 On one occasion we sold more than tills quantity In one day.

We bought them, feeling that the reduction on price to us would pay splendid interest on the investment if we carried them till next season. Crisp mornings and cool evenings impel us to offer the purchase now Saturday then, $1.39 per pair. We are assured they are made from Kassan stock, and that the home of the animal who wore the skin is in the Balkan mountains $2.00 is tho usual price. About a week ago we spent a pleasant hour with one of the most interesting women we have ever met A CORSET EXPERT Now that word expert is a much abused one This lady had qualified qualified through experience with overy detail of corset making qualified by scien tific training in physiology and anatomy qual ified by long experience of corset fitting and U4VU SJ A L, wearing, for she admitted being near the half century milestone (although she could easily pass for thirty-five,) From her we learned more than we ever knew. Her knowledge and experience was communicated in tabloid form to our fitter. You will get the benefit "Nothing is more un wise than putting on the corset immediately upon getting up in the morning or half resting in neg ligee. Proper exercises should be indulged in to restore the body to normal." Thus the expert much more to tell you. Suggest you make ap pointments for fitting by telephone. Call Miss Coleman, Douglas 51. SWEET WORDS The man who could so coin phrases as to convey an idea of taste with description would be invaluable. The artist sometimes, with paint and pigment, throws on the canvass, for instance, Bon Bons so natural as to make the mouth water and get the gastric juices ready to do their duty. The words, "Cobb's Candies" to those who know them have the same effect as such a picture. Mr. Cobb says, let us tell the dear people that we have specials for St. Patrick's day. Cases Hats and Candies in proper colors to harmonize and then men tion the Cremont Caramels, alias Lorifit Caramels made in Strasburg, Germany, packed in sealed tins. Special for Saturday, 40 cents instead of 50 cents tin contains one pound. Peanut Brittle made from nuts properly roasted and just held in old-fashioned Molasses Candy. Wo know this will bring fond recollec tionson a previous occasion we sold the stock, out by 3 p. m. Special for Saturday, pound box for 15 CENTS. Molasses Mint Kisses A real fitting name. Think of the purest molasses flavored with mint, and then kisses don'f that suggest a pleasing combination. Pound box 25 cents usually 40c. Chocolate Almonds Covered with rich chocolate. Toothsome and healthful; 60 cents per pound instead of 80 cents. We open at 8 a. m.. We live up to the nine hour law. We close at 9 p. m. Saturdays; would like to quit at 6 p. m. Strange, is it not, that thoso who enjoy the 8-hour day care so little for their less fortunate brothers and sisters? Trad ing can be done before 6 p. m. "Have a heart," as Polly's Pa would say, and try it. THOMAS KILPATRICK & COMPANY y
