‘ "Free Souvenirs to all Visitors. _ We are after Your Shoe Trade. We are striving hard to still further increase our already large output of Shoes this season. We should like all Washington Shoe wearers to call and see our new pring Shoes and learn their prices—we want thgir trade—because WE KNOW we are deserving it. We ARE POSI- TIVE that we sell better-fitting and better-wearing Shoes for the price than can be obtained of ‘ any other dealer in Washington—and ‘we are anxious to convince you of this fact. : There is a character of solidity and genuine ease about our Shoes which you will find in no others sold in town—because our Shoes are made according to our own ideas, precisely as we think they shéuld be for style, wear and comfort. Our Rent-free Stores and bring m enor- mous quantities are some of the reasons why not a Shoe dealer in Washington can duplicate a solitary one of the below-mentioned items at these prices: ~ For Children.

ADIES who have not yet attended the “Opening” in the enlarged and improved [lillinery Parlors are promised a pleasant surprise. The many French Pattern Hats are being much admired and copied --we learn--by the leading milliners of Washington. We are constantly told, however, that the best reproductions are from our own work rooms. This is not surprising, however, since we have the services of a “born” mil- liner, lately from Paris. With supplies at the low prices direct importation enables, facsimiles and improvements of the expensive Paris-made hats are possible for as little as $6, $8, $10, $12 and $15. Special. Special.

As the contour of the face, the complexion, the eyes and hair vary so should the style of the hat. Artistic creations are here: in variety to meet every demand. The prices—$3, $4 and $5—are low when the results are noted. A boon to many mothers is the stylishly trimmed “Unbreakable” Hat for children and misses. It is all the name implies and costs only $1.
