Shipments 'just received serve as recruits to fiUthe thin spots
caused by yesterday's buying in the undermuslin sale.
What a response and how women bought I " AH of which

array of bargains these are easily the most remarkable:
Gown and Petticoats dainty and womanly garments; made with much
care In the detail. .At 79c the values are exceptional.

Have Your Redfern Fitf eel
& Expert '
The Redfern is a whalebone Corset advantage of whalebone'
over jitt.y other boning arc very generally known. Its flexibility al-
lowease and grace of movement moreover it is comfortableyet
it controls and confines the figure" in proper and fashionable line.
Redfern models are accepted as authentic not only in America
but in Europe. Dressmakers frequently demand the wearing of Red--
ferns of their patrons because it is over the Redfern that they get";
the best results.
Miss Ball who demonstrates this week has studied corsetrv m
both Paris and New York she is an expert fitter. Come and hear
what she has to say about corsets io general and the Redfern in-
particular. Her fittings arc free. Demonstration all week.

Will Buy in the Waist Sale
Waists at 98c and $1.49. Match them at a fourth more than that in Houston
or Texas if you can yes if you can.
The .reason in tabloid form is: A maker with a surplus sold at a loss.
That's all.
Anything wrong with the waists? Yes; their prices. The styles? Yes too
pretty too carefully made to be subjected to the humiliation of a bargain
transaction. Spring's last waist thoughts embodied in lawns laces medallions
and embroidery. Short sleeves dainty yokes neat tucks everything as it

$7.50 $10 $12.30
We are close to Paris ; modern means of communication put her practically
at our elbows. "Georgette is using rough straws with wide-awake golden
hearted daisies covering the crown with apparent lack of thought as to how
they will look." And soon as the wires flash it our milliners are at work
making just such a hat. You see it and wonder who would take a dare to
wear it its boldness quite overwhelms you. But just put it on you buy
it because it's the most becoming hat you ever had the good fortune to get I
The price is $7.50 $10.00 or $12.00 as the case may be. Hats at these prices
are the "'ne plus ultras" of the millinery rooms. Infinite variety superb
treatment of all every one a gem. They explode the theory that a hat must
cost a prohibitive price to be beautiful. It isn't a matter of money but art
and our milliners are artists.
Opening day tomorrow of $7.50 $10.00 and $12.50 Hats.
