@aTURBDAY, DE ‘The worse the weather the bet fine an early or Iste call will be best. We on Monday and Tuesday will bewails written. We know bumsn nature this ‘opportunity the majority of people will te our discomfort and theira. But why . — ‘We will do this: Select tomorrow at Posit and have the goods sent on this with Christmas Cards, 20 percent ‘Those Initial Linen Handkerchiefs at tomorrow. All initials now, but the de (Continued below.) ‘The twin column to the right tells of so much in so little that you are spt not to properly sppreciate the Feduced prices. ‘There's a story of many suitable Christmas Gifts in every line; a story of an opportanity which ends with tomorrow night, How much is left unsaid in the next column is illus- trated by pointing to the Umbrellas mentioned. ‘You'll better appreciate the reduced prices when you are told that a written guarantee is given with each Umbrella, It reads: GUARANTEE No.— This is to certify that the Um drelia purchased by M—— will be recovered free of charge should it split within one year of date. f2~ The cuarantee is filled out with your name and stamped with ths date of purchase and thename of the store and its proprietor. THE KEDUCED PRICES FOR TOMORROW. Since you are relieved of all responsibility as to the WEAE of the Umbrells your next thought is the VA- BIETY. Can it be truthfully disputed that the Palais ‘Royal carries by far the largest stock in town? Not only are the genuine “Gloris,” the “Conestoga” and the ‘*Gem” Umbrellas in stock, but the latest novelties in Lyon's and Belknaps, Jobuson and Powell's Cele- brated Umbrellas. In fact so large a variety that it is confusing, The Umbrellas are reliable, the variety is bewilder- ing, and now comes the question of PRICES, Can we do better than publish what you will see on the back of the Umbrella Guarantee? “PALAIS ROYAL PRICES.” “The Palais Royal being the only store in its line not doing a credit business, quotes the lowest prices in Wash- ington, Investigation will prove tat the difference be tween Palais Royal prices and credit-store prices expe- pecially affect the finest quatity goods, The merchants ‘who credit make good the losses caused by bad debts not by quoting higher prices for goods easily valued by you, but for the high-class novetties not 30 eaxily valued.” You'll notice the columns tells you as follows: €5 CONESTOGA SILK UMBRELLAS FOR 84.68. It doesn't tell you that the Conestogs Silk is war- ranted not to fade or split; it; doesn’t tell you that there are shown Silver Crook Handles carved to repre- vent Buckhorn ; that there are 14-karat engraved Gold cap handles with place for initials; that you can se- cure the new style burnished Silver crook handles; thateach umbrella has beavy tassels and silk case in- cluded st the price. Shut your eyes to the fsct that they msy be secured tomorrow for $4.68 and see if You can secure such Umbrellas elsewhere for $5? $10 LYON'’S NOVELTY UMBBELLAS FOR 89, ‘If you see here the name“Lyon” engraved on the han- dle of an Umbrella and the ticket rears $10, and if you eee an Umbrella identical in appearance elsewhere for which @12 is asked, does it make the one better than the other? You may be told it does, but isn’t it more logical to suppose that you arecharged $12 because some one may buy « like Umbrells on credit and never pay for it? We would not depreciste the stores where ®@ credit business is done, for such stores are scon- Yenience much appreciated, but we do ask that those who don't want credit should benefit themselves and us by shopping where the advantages of @ cash busi- bess are offered. ‘You'll see here Umbrellas with the scarce Accacia Wood as handles, with Solid Silver Trimmings and Plate for initials; Artistic Handles of Tinted Ivory, carved in the shape of s Dragon's Head; of 14-karat Gold, representing s Snake. These and other Novel- ‘ties of Lyon's are marked $1(, but may be secured to- morrow for 89 each. $2.20 “GLORIA” UMBRELLAS FOR 81.98, ‘No less than 72 different styles of Rolled Gold and Oxidized and Burnished Silver Handles mounted on Cherry, Ebony and Natural Woods, Appropriate styles for Ladies’ and Men's use, The wear is guaran- teed of the material, so youronty thought will be con- cerning the handles. Your ouly troubie will be which toseicet, The window display shows you nearly 560 ‘Very artistic styies,but probably the style you may favor will be in the store, Youmay almost help your- elf from the street—the Umbrella departusent is just inside the doorway of 1119 Penna sve, $1.25 “GLORIA” UMBRELLAS FOR $1.19. ‘That might be written of the many imitations of the genuine “Gloria” and the price would still be high. ‘These are warranted genuine “Gloria,” have paragon frames, Ebony Crook Handles for Ladies and Natural Wood for Men's wear. A suspiciously low price. A plessantly low price if you can hold the Palais Royal Fespousible for the wear, ‘You can do so—fors year. A STORY HALY TOLD. ‘We could write much of Belknap, Johnson, and Powell's Celebrated Umbrellas; of the new “Gem” ‘Umbrellas and of the famous “Old Guard” Silk Um- brellas, but your pstience and our column is ex- Bausted.
