How much loss is entailed if they clear out the summer stocks. Regular prices long ago ceased to exist, and now they are down to the very lowest notch, which opens for you a*most unusual op- portunity to buy and save, whether you've the cash or not. The shirt waists laid : | With blows that have felled the entire stock of shirt waists you are offered the greatest opportunity for waist buying for which you could wish. ’Tis plain to us now that we’ve by far too many, so down go the prices, “smashed to smithereens— down below cost to us—down below cost of making. And not a bought-for-a-sale stock, either, but the most exclusive and the most perfect and the handsomest effects of the season from the leading makers. All the waists which sold the first of the season for as high as $2 go for All the waists which sold the first of the season for as high as a dollar go for ll Qec- JVe- ‘There are percales, figured lawns, plain lawns, batistes, Swiss lawns, lace lawns, grass linens, grenadines—all fine stuff. Not all sizes of every pattern—but will fit You in one or avother—and any one will be a big purchase at the price. Did you get a 99c. suit? Don’t say you don’t need one. Perhaps it wouldn’t be policy for you to buy one so late in the season if they were five doi- lars—the price they brought but a short while ago. But they are not, and ninety-nine cents doesn’t pay for the white duck or the white pique—let alone the making. And just notice how they're made, too. You haven't seen any this season that are better finished. “Eton” or blazer effects—wide skirts and fairly wide hems. It isn’t Hecht’s loss—it’s the maker’s. 3 : ¢ = x = eA $7.50 isn’t any sort of a price: To put on these ladies’ new fall black cheviot serge street suits. We had them made up during the early summer months, when fashion had decreed what was to be proper, and honestly at $7.50 we make scarcely the cost of bringing them here. But we've got to get you interested in this suit department, for winter’s coming, and you'll want a wrap. and another suit, and ‘twon’t take us two minutes to show you the advantages of buying both here.

The examination of candidates for the position of supervising architect may seem at first sight to be an- other case of this sort; but there are some features of this examination which are notably different from the ordinary civil service examination. A large part of the work to be done consists in the preparation of original papers on subjects which are calculated to reveal as much as possible of the writer's fitness, or unfitness, for the position of supervising architect. It may be said, and probably with much truth, that any such exarhination is a very imperfect method of distinguishing the men best fitted to fill the position; but the real question is whether it is any more im- perfect than the methods of selection which have been used in the past, or which are actually open to. the appointing officers in the absence of some form of competitive test. In the past, as is well known, this office has been a part of the “spoils” of the party in power. The candidate who could bring the largest amount of influence to bear upon the appointing power received the prize. And what, let us candidly ask, could Sec- retary Gage do differently from what has been done in the past in the absence of some such examination as he has ordered? Possibly (though not probably) he may have emong personal acquaintances some architect whom he knows is com- petent to fill this very responsible position, and who is at the same time willing to accept the small salary which the office pays. But were Secretary Gage to appoint such a man, a cry would immediately go up that he was using his high position to put his friends in comfortable berths. Sup- pose, on the other hand, that he attempts to choose candidates for the position on the strength of the recommendations they bring. This means wading through a mountain of letters and testimonials from Congressmen, mayors, office holders of every class, political leaders of high and low degree, and various other persons, not one in a hundred of whom are personally known te the appointing power. When we consider also that probably not one in a dozen of those who indorse a candidate really know"tnough about him to warrant their recomme: it seems clear enough that this isa very imperfect method of choosing a candidate for an off- cial position. We are inclined, therefore, to the lom of Secretary in ordering a 3; test of the abill- ties of those who seek to fill the office of tters little what it is that you want situation or a servant—a “want” ad..in The Star will reach ‘the 7 THE WORLD OF SOCIETY A Pretty Wedding Yesterday at St. Mat- thew’s, Pleasant Welcome Home to a Well- Known Washington Lady— Persoi Notes.

Structures. Secretary Multer of the ¥. M. C. A. re- turned yesterday from his inspection of the Y¥. M. C. A. buildings in Chicago and Cleveland, with Architect J. G. Hill of this city, who has the preparation of the plans for the new association building to be erected here. The two left this morning for New York, Brooklyn and other eastern cities, where the Y. M. C. A. buildings will be examined for the purpose of selecting tke best ideas for application here. Many new suggestions were obtained on the trip, but the secretary states that he is entirely satisfied with the general in- terior plans of the new building, and they will not be changed. Mr. Multer was tly impressed with the Y. M. C. A. edifice in Chicago, which cost $1,760,000, and is fourteen stories in height. The ap- proaches to the swimming pool there in- clvede an elaborate system of shower baths, .and ideas suggested by this may be applied here. In Chicago the pool is entirely dis- tinct from the association building, and is capitalized. at. $18,0u0. Members are charged twenty cents admission, while outsiders are required to efve up thirty- five cents for the bath privilege. Only four floors of the Chicago building are oc- cupied by the association, the others be- ing rented, yielding an income of nearly $79,000 annually. ‘The Cleveland butiding is a fine one, Mr. Gage | Multer says, though not so large as the other.
