This will be good news to the thousands who remember our extraordinary wrapper offering of last summer, and who have been waiting for those which we promised them this season. One hundred dozen--that’s 1,200 fine organdie, lawn, century cloth, corded dimity and percale wrappers--most elaborately trimmed with lace and embroidery, in “Bolero” and other effects--some with lace and embroidered trimmed ruffles over the shoulder in the very prettiest shepherd check, indigo blue and light and dark striped and figured patterns--full skirts and lined waists in a half dozen differ- ent styles--but every garment as perfectly made as can be ; made. They are just such wrappers as you will see selling in every store in town for $2.50 and $3--which really cannot be bought regularly to sell for less at aprofit. But what others pay is no considera- tion to Hecht’s. Nobody would think of buying such an immense quan- tity as Hecht’s took for their half dozen stores, and of which this store got 1,200. If we said $1.50 they wouid be extraordinarily cheap, but instead we shall offer them at Q) cents for your choice. We have put them on separate tables on the second floor to give the crowds that will come for them more room, which we cannot spare on the millinery floor. No matter what wrapper bargain you have gotten here before, these eclipse it. And you may have them on credit if you wish. Scenes and Incidents in the Busy City of Tents. PARADES AND REVIEWS By Special Wire. HEADQUARTERS THE EVENING STAR, CAMP WASHINGTON, FORT WASHINGTON, Md., June 12. ‘The officers and enlisted men of the Dis- trict of Columbia National .Guard, im camp at Fort Washington, have been very busy today. It seems as though Camp .Wash- ington has been an established institution for much longer than forty-eight. hours. Everybody and everything are working es smoothly ard as systematically as thouga soldiering were a regular vocation. And what is more, all seem to enjoy it thor- oughly. The people of Washington, too, are beginning to realize that the National Guard is in camp, and that the city of tents is well worth vistting. The attendance of spectators last evening at dress parade was very gratifying, and large crowds disembarked from ail the steamcrs which reached Fort Washing‘on today. But the gala day-of the encamp- ment will be tomorrow, when everybody who pcssesses ai:best girl expects her-te call. There will be a great sprucing up, ; “Cash ocly—and the narrowest margin of profit.” ALL EXPRESS CONFIDENCE. Cheapest & Best: The “Jackson” $5.98 of New Y. M. C. A. Home. dry M. E.

The president of the association, Mr. L. C. Williamson, introduced the various speakers. Rev. Dr. Teunis 8. Hamlin made the point that business men were interested in the association, because it provided a ae for young men to go after business In the opinion of Mr. Francis Murphy help in erecting the new building can be looked for from the poor as well as the rich, and small as well as large contribu- tions will be made. He Statgd that he would be one of a thousand 10 give $200. He also subscribed $100 for Mrs. Murphy. Rev. Dr. Greene suggested three mass meetings, one to be held on Capitol Hill, an- other in the center of the city and still another in West Washington, for the pur- pose of pushing the movement. The building, he said, was a necessity, and would be erected. The general sccrelary, Mr. W. N. Multer, gave an account of the movement for the erection of a new building. He said the committee had considered for a year past plans and suggestions from secre‘aries in other cities, with a desire to embrace in the new building the best features in all others. Chicago, he said, had the hest building, and he hoped to see a still better $6 and $7 wash suits, $1.79. The greatest offering of ladies’ wash suits that we ever expect to be able to make is the lot of $6 and $7 plain and striped linens, plain crashes and plain white pique suits and several crash bicycle suits—which went on sale today at $1.79. Most of them are made fly front effect, and there are scarcely any two in the immense lot which are alike. This is because they are sample suits—the samples of the leading maker in this country. The immense crowds which haye been here all day is indicative of their extreme cheapness, yet they have taken scarcely a third of the entire lot. and not a doubt. exists ghaj-the cemp will be even more perfect in,eyery detail than it is tcday.

Mrs. Johnston reported of the flowers, dainties and clothing given to the sick and poor, and, while Mrs. Libbey was not pres- ent to tell how much work she has done, yet testimony as to the good results of literature on the evils of cigars and cigar- ettes shows she is making her influence felt in the public schools. Miss Moore, superintendent of work among. firemen, reports progress, and also told of much interest shown by the men in the literature: distributed. City missionary, Mrs. R. F. Brown, says she knows if the Christian peopie realized the condition of the inmates of the alleys, they would rise in their might and demand that saloons be removed from among them. Her work is much hampered by the liquor, but she is struggting to save the children. The treasurer, Miss L. C.
