We showed during our opening, we believe, the largest line of ladies' and misses' suits ever shown in this section in the spring. They have sold far beyond our | expectation, and if it was not for the new arrivals the line would be badly broken, but we are still prepared to show you something New in a suit. Our one-piece dresses and house dresses are the talk of the ladies and girls, for among these vou can find almost anything that vou would wish for dress or general wear.
