We cannot help but be reminded at this time of the greatness of Lincoln.
Surely, when viewing the wrecked foundations and dissipation of the energy of European nations, the
United States is doubly grateful to and doubly honors the memory of the man who accomplished the
united solidarity of this nation.
There was surely never a time in the history of the United States when progress and prosperity
loomed up greater than at present.

The NEW SPRING SUITS Are Here; In Brief, They Could
Not Be More Charming, and Prices Are Reasonable
Moat attractive are the new spring suits in a bewildering array of smart materials. Gabardines, serges,
whipcords and poplins seem to be the most favored, with the checks, from the small pin checks to a
large plaid in clever two-tone effects, as well as black and white.
Coats are short with full rippling peplums or clever eton effects.
Skirts show a variety of clever arrangements to introduce the wide sweep, now so stylish. Heats in
panel effects, drapery or circular models with yokes are a few the favored models.
Collars are particularly attractive, some being military and close to the neck, others a soft rolling
effect, forming broad revers, which in many instances, show attractive silk, leather or velvet trimmings.
Sleeves are gradually growing fuller, except in the most tailored models, many show inverted pleats
to introduce the desired fullness, ending at the hand in a clever flaring or turned back cuff.
Smart touches introduced in straps, pipings, stitchings, pockets, bits of attractive embroidery all
lend to make a most attractive fashion for Milady's Spring costume.
The shades most favored are the blues, navy and the light Belgium, grays, tan, sea green, coral, rose.
Our prices are arranged for every pocketbook, and include new models at
