Down-Stairs Store, Old Bidg. The loveliest Frocks for Jjunior-misses This feature in the Down-Stairs Store is one that answers many a puzzling question. The junior miss, who needs a frock a bit larger than a girls’ frock, but who can not wear a misses’ size, should be provided for in the proper way; and that is exactly what we are doing This provis‘on refers to the style of the frocks as well as to the sizes—charming little Etons of velveteen, for instance; ruf- fled taffetas; velveteen and jer- sey combinations; satins; cre} de chine, tricotines and such, models that are suited only to the happy, intermediate age. Prices range from $16 to $33.50. Down-Stairs Store, Old Bldg, Why are . these new Shirts $1.65 ? We'll tell you. The maker is a man who makes fine shirts. Occasionally he has small pieces of shirting that can be made up into odd lots of shirts; and he uses up the pieces in that way. Thus, the price drops materially; and a limited number of men find profit and satisfaction in the transaction. This is one of the occa- sions, and the shirts are good percale in neat stripes accurately made in every detail. Bodies are ample in size —no skimping. Cuffs are matched. _Neckbands are beaded. Every shirt has five pearl buttons. And— Colors are fast. Down-Stairs Store, New Bldg.
