For despite their dainty appearance the gredtest of care and strength of construction has been used—so don’t let the question of service worry you—that is, if you're careful where you buy that suite, for we can’t say as much for some of the = suites that you might find in some places.

We want it to be a source of ‘continued pleasure instead of a lasting regret. There are some unustally good values shown in the cane suites this week—and they are really so beautiful’that you'll not give much thought to the price. Dainty suites for the small room, heavy serviceable ones for the living room and magnificent carved wood suites for the more formal rooms—and the prices on every one are down to reason, too—such prices as you and I would care to pay. ; R : { For instance, there’s a good suite in tapestry at $295, with big wing chair; a fine suite of Karpen meke, with tapestry ‘cushions, pillows and roll, at $395, all'with big six-foot sofas, and, if you want them, there are smaller ones at much lower prices, and then there are the more elaborate styles— T bll:lt, anyway, come in to see them.
