Japanese Ooods for Gifts. Wonderful flowered and
embroidered designs. Amusing what one hears sometimes
when the ears are open. One day last week two women
were on our second floor. One was attracted by the Jap
Quilted Vests, House Robes, Mandarin Coats, Kimonos,
etc. She stopped and directed her partner's attention to
the beauties. Oh, said Madame Wise, I never buy Japanese
wearables. You know, said he, all of these garments are
worn by the Japs before they are sent to this country, and
they are such dirty beings. Now what rot that was. What
ever the crimes of the little Jap may he, dirtiness Is not
one of them. As a race they love water and the Caucasian
has nothing on the little brown man tn that direction. How
much more sensible and better informed one of this sea
son's debutantes: Why in the world don't you tell folks that
you have these exquisite works of art? So that's why we
are spending our good money so that you may know. She
went into ecstacles over our Pussy Willow Waists thus
of Crepe de Chine and velvet, also. And so we want you
to know that we have these from $5.00 to $25.00.
