The Busy Corner, | @h and Market Space. | se | So Kann, Sons &Co. The Sale of Perry’s Stock at the Busy Corner Will linger in the memory of the people months after the event itself has passed. There has been much to make this occasion memorable. It has marked the passing away of Washington's last business land- mark. « It has signalized the sale of the most exclusive merchandise ever brought into this city. It has drawn to our store day by day a greater throng than ever as- sembled to one center of business. It has been the means of distributing a greater volume of merchan- dise than any single event—not omitting mention of our two famous re- building sales—ever accomplished. It has established a price standard hitherto never attained. This Sale Will Continue One More Week. The finer qualities of the Perry stock will be offered. Prices even lower than those of the past week are scheduled. Four large, modern wagons have been added to our delivery to meet with the increased demands of this event.

It’s a pleasure to have such a shoe store as this in your midst—we hear expressions of appreciation every day. Here you see all the novelties of footwear fashion—the sort which set the styles among so- ciety leaders. They're the very same “exclusives” ‘for which you had to send away to - New York city before we opened this establishment. With time has come a thor- ough understanding of the wants of the elite—we show everything that can be called desirable. And what a stock it is—more complete—more varied—greater—than at any previous time. . There isn’t a taste or desire we cannot satis- fy. When in search of foot- wear this certainly should be _your one shopping place. We have just completed several large order for foot- wear to be worn at the ap- proaching Horse Show—and we are prepared to fill any others which may be intrust- ed to our care. You certainly should know by this time our perfect facilities for supplying footwear of this sort. We have prepared a special display of the latest styles in riding boots and footwear—which we should like to have you see. Hardly a wedding of any prominence occurs at the na- tion’s Capital that we don’t take charge of the footwear part of the trousseaux. It is but natural that with such a stock of novelty footwear to choose from that brides should buy here. The stock contains every wanted style—the slip- pers of bronze—suede, kid and satin—in every exclusive shape and effect. In instances where some unusual shade in satin slippers to exactly match the gown is required we make them to order on two or three days’ notice.

THE SOCIAL WORLD Dancing and Gaiety Only for the Young Folks. NO SUMMER PLANS TALKED ABOUT Mrs. McKinley Entertains Former Teachers and Classmates. OTHER TIMELY EVENTS The very young folks have had the most out of the Easter gaieties, as was expected. ‘Their dances and enjoyments of every kind have gone on day after day and night after night, in sunshine or in rain, just as it happened to be. The grown ups have been too busy with other thoughts and occupations to feel what a disappointing season it has been nor to care very much whether or not the war clouds will lift sufficiently to permit a return of gaiety on the lines usual at this time of year. The small comforts one has had in the weddings, so far as the pleasure of wit- nessing them is concerned, does not give much room for enthusiasm in that direc- tion, since those now in contemplation will be quiet family affairs also. @nly a few of those set for Easter week and for which elaborate preparations were made, were carried out as originally planned, but these out of-the-ordinary circum- stances have done much more to fix them in the popular mind than if the ordinary routine of such events had been followed. There will probably be a marked absence of American heiresfes, and notably Wash- ington ones, at the presentations to royally next month in London. One hears very lit- tle of contemplated departures for foreign shores, a topic always so much discussed at this season, and the few who have ar- ranged to go have no intention of doing so should war be an actual fact. Never were summer plans so indefinite as at the mo- ment. A great many We Enders nave not any in contempletion, and will pa- tiently sojourn in this city, where the hon- ored members of the stay-at-home club will have so much company as to be likely to entirely lose this particular form of id2nti- fication, The great social meets of the past week were the opening of the art loan exhibition Monday night and the eighty-eighth birth- day celebration of Senator Morrill. The Wyckoff-Robinson wedding Thursday was a beautiful event, in spite of the fact that the rain was of the most persistent and depressing kind. Of social events for the coming week there are on the tapis Mr. and Mrs. Charles Grayson Dulin’s card party, Monday night dianers at the Swiss legation and German embassy, and a few weddings. The marriage of Miss Mary Foster Long, daughter of the late Colonel A. K. Long, U. 8. A., and Mr. William DuVal Brown, son of the late Paymaster General Nathan Brown, U. 8S. A., will take place Monday, April 25. Mrs. McKinley entertained the members of the Brooke Hall Alumnae at luncheon today at 2 o'clock.
