Such is the stirring news this morning to send a thrill to-every feminine heart. Look at the Petticoats Themselves. —See how fresh and crisp the silk is? —Fecl it—see how heavy (nothing cheap or flimsy). —Hold them up—imeasure them—see how full and wide—not one is skimped. They were all made within last month—made for fegular sell- ing (not one of them has any excuse in themselves for being so cheap). Here are All-Silk Petticoats $2.75 We never heard of the like before. But it isn’t alone in the price, but in the quality of the silk and the amount of it and the style. make an exceptional offer. $3.65 Ones.

Another had his orders filled I and a batch of silk left over. Said if we would take it all he would | make the petticoats up as we wanted them and do the work at a loss. We said yes quick, for we already saw a chante to have a big sale. When they had all come in and we had seen what bargains we got we marked them closer still to make the sale even more irre- sistible. Look at the $2.75. §: and $4.25 ones. It all combines to Int.
