For this reason, when we are ready to sell them, we can |} afford to place upon them prices which are |} actually triflang compared with the origi- |[nal prices fixed upon them by their creators. This, as we have explained, is not our loss, because we have already had the good of the masterly idea represented in each gown. But it is the immeasurable gain of women who wear beautiful clothes and who will care to have such masterpieces as these (all of them practically unharmed by their sojourn in the glass cases of our French Millinery At Prices Below Anything We Have Heard Of Last prices, and probably lowest prices for which French hats have been sold in New York, have been placed upon all our imported Winter millinery, without reserve. The cost of materials alone is in many instances not covered in the prices we have placed on them. There is one group of forty hats, for ex- ample, any one of which you may take to- morrow for $5. Yes, all from Patis, all delic- iously French, all fashioned of the choicest French materials. A little while ago not one in the group was less than $40, and most were more.

Each garment is a veritable chef- d’oeuvre of some great master in the Paris- ian dressmaking world. In buying them we think ahead for earliest Spring dress- making requirements, so that a number will be found perfectly suitable, in material and style, for Palm Beach, Pinehurst and other Southern resorts. We have space only to hint at the texture, purpose and price of a few, as follows: Robert evening coat of Saxe blue broadcloth with panne velvet sleeves and revers; satin lined.

Each group represents practically as radical acut as the $5 collection. Do you wonder we say that certainly French hats have rarely if ever been sold at these prices? Or wonder that we suggest an early visit tamorrow on the part of the women who know and appreciate the choicest of millinery? Millinery Salons, Second floor, Old Building.
