They are $23 Coats—and,we have marked them all dow: to LE 00. The thirteenth comer will be disappointed. Better be early on hand. Looking Forward. It is only a little ways to spring—and some of the spring lines are here already to guide your attention and mould vour choice. If you are open to convic- tion we can wipe out every bit of prejudice you may have against ready-made Suits— and Skirts—and Waists. We have been more than ordinarily particular—and the results repay us for our pains. We have observed exclusive- ness in the selection of ma- terials and in the modeling of the patterns. We have had only expert hands touch them. We are ready to show the “Capes” we are building on. Dress Skirts. Fashion sets a style—and we have been faithful to it. Look for something to criti- cise about these Skirts. They don’t cost quite so much as they would if you undertook the making. That is one of our arguments. Figured _ chair Skirts, lined and 2 and faced with velvet—very full cut— $4.50 an $6, Crepon, Plain and Cheviot and exira fell, Ti * faced with velvet—$6, $7.50, §S, $10 and $12.

Without a wrinkle, we as- sure you. We may have fo draw in a curve here—or let out a seam there. But that is our look- out. When we send the Suit home it will be as perfect as can be. We ought to know what fabrics to select—don’t you think so? Brown Covert —box cvat, faced—$19. Novelty Cloth Suits, with Norfolk Jacket and gilt belt; full skirt, lined with perealine and faced with vel- veteen--§, Faney Chi crlot and Gray and Brown Mixed Tweed Suits, with Reefer Jacket, lined with Persian silk, and full skirts, lied all through—$18 Tailor-made Suits full skirt, tined and velvet ard $23.5 Tan overt Cloth Suits, with double-breasted coats, pearl but- tons, high collar and Mned with Persian silk.

Those of you who have our Winter Waists will be back for the spring ones—and most every- body you have shown them to—will come as well. We have provided for just such a Tush. Silk Underskirts. There is a big “out” in your. wardrobe if you don’t own a Silk Underskirf. That they cost too much may have been .a forbidding reason once—- but it won't hold water now with such offerings as these: Black ‘Taffeta Silk Skirts, with one snd two corded flounces and faced wita velvetecn—$7.

The jig is nearly up. For some no information could sound more welcome just at present, although all know very well that after two or three days of rest they will be sighing after the good, lively times and wishing that they had it all to go over again. The season, which, according to the calendar, will end next Tuesday night at the stroke of 12, has been a long one and full of in- terest from start to finish. The entertain- ments have been pleasantly diversified, dancing events have been very frequent, and while th has been a notable ab- sence of ma. cent flourishes, neverthe- Jess ali the attractions have averaged up most satisfactorily. Dinner giving has in- creased so wonderfully that it now seems to be the lending feature of hospitality. In the two first months one hostess, who gives weekly dinners herself, had received fifty- eight invitations to the houses of friends to dine. On some.days she had often ac- cepted an invitation, to find it followed by five or six others. This is not an excep- case by any means, but could be y ed with much higher figures by others in the same popular hat about the same sty tinued during Lent ts very e stacks of invitations whi hh the very reasonable and sea able excuse current at this ume, “Contem- plated ab: ry = 2 ight hington to other ith the honest desire hi cherished mations pretty y s now, with the kor new interest in life and a tis enjoyments up- on their return.

Most -enial companies have been brought to- her, and in a most charming wa ‘There have been enough each gathering to give stimulus to fresh thought and comment, which of itself is always a great stroke of genius in getting up events of this kind. Here is a case in point. The husband of one of the most feted grand dames has simply rebelled late- ly from accepting any more dinner invita- tions from the same set of. people. He ad- mitted he was talked out; he knew they were €qually tired of him, and he biuntly refused every hid until one came where none of the old familiar faces, would Le found opposite him at the table. Then he had a real good time of tt, and he begins to think that society is really not half bad after all, since it often does provide rational crteriainment. ‘The Secretary of the Navy and Miss Her- bert again welcomed a host of friends last night. The drawing and dining rooms were festooned with smilax and the man- tels banked in ferns and blossoms. ‘The Secretary and his daughters recelved in the large drawing rgom, and a buffet sup- per was served all ev side of the house. Miss Herbert wore a becoming, white satin toilet and Mrs. Micou wore canary satin After mid- night, when many of the older guesis had gone. the company was enlarged by the presence of numbers of young people, who enjoyed the dangjng until a late hour.
