"Don't be tardy." pairs, H Our AnntM 3ale oi UnHermuslins : Is Anxibusty Awaited Each Year One of the striking street car men, when afgued, with that 'the' war is not over and will not be until the peace treaty is signed, said: "McAdoo says it is over, at least his resignation indicates that he knows it's over, at any rate." We, too, will say the war is over but that does not mean that prices on goods and commodities are going to drop pell mell. We believe that prices will decline generally, but not swiftlv, not radically . You can bank on that being true on cotton goods. We own our undermuslins at prices contracted before the BIG ADVANCES were made, and so we are going to make prices which would have been reasonable BEFORE THE WAR. : ; ' ' For Instance White petticoats of muslin and long cloth, handsomely'! trimmed, sotneWith lace, others with embroid ery; some hae.Avide flounces, some semi-flounced, others per fectly straight $1.29,;$1.98 and $2.95.
