BIG ClIOWDS AT REVIVAL
"Oirixt In the Homo" Is Subject at
Christian Church Tonight.
' Last night one of the largest
crowds of the meeting heard Evan-
gelist Virgil Wallace preach on the
subject, "Excuses", The evangelist
conclusively proved the flimainess
and insincerity of the excuses the
three men yho were bidden to n
supper made as recorded in Luke
14. "And no one," the evangelist
|| said, "can make better excuses for
not coming to Christ than did those
three men who refused their Lord'a
invitation. An excuse is not a
reason, and a reason is not an ex-
cuse"
Mrs. Wallace sang a solo appro-
priate to the subject, entitled "Time
Enough Yet".
Two confessions were received at
1* invitation. *
Tonight the evangelist will peach
if the very important subject,
Christ in the Home". The title of
*oio will br, "Does Jesus Care?"

tistically employed.

twills, oxford cloth, mannish mixtures,
shepherd cheeks, Jerseys, Silks, have been
developed into modes of tailored elegance—•
and embellished with trimmings of widely
varied design. Prices too, are interesting

Pinnacle of Perfection Easjer Neckwear
Easter marks the real beginning of Spring—the awakening
season. The season of birds and flowers and green grass,
when the whole world "dresses up." T he spirit is caught by
everyone and with it comes the inevitable desire for new
apparel. Everybody wants to be "in tune" with the bright
new environment.
A veritable flood of Easter modes has been "pouring" into
every section of this store for a whole month past. And now
we invite you to view this vast assemblage of apparel and
other fashions, which is being replenished daily by new arri-
vals from the leading style centers. Every desire for exclu-
sive Easter apparel may be gratified in these spbndid show-
ings of Suits, Coats, Frocks, Blouses, Skirts and the smartest
dress accessories.
Every Day Brings More
New Easter Hats
A bit of white—not always ALL white,
however, for sports styles in a "riot" of
colors are favored too this Spring—greatly
accentuates the charm of a tailored suit or
frock. And here are all the popular styles
in a most interacting showing—at equally
interesting prices:
Women's, Misses and
Children's Easter
Footwear
Fashion has been most liberal with women
who want a "certain kind of hat" this season.
Truly we have never seen such style divergence.
Broad flat sailors with straight, drooping and
upturned brims; wee toques and mushrooms
that are trying their hardest to be "flower-
gardens"; and tailored hats of many materials
lead by black lisero, with Ribbon and burnt
feather aigrettes present a variety of charming
millinery modes to gratify every desire.
