As a good looking Academy student he is very attractive and as an old gentleman in the Minstrels he was too distinguished looking for words. As for Leslie’s future ; we want to see “President Brown” adorn- ing the White House stationary sometime in the future when the Class of 1912 is far separated by distance but closely bound by love of E.

AMBERG. “A mother's pride, a father's joy. Did you ever slip down beside Roland in his seat and quietly ask him to slide a lesson over so you could copy it? If you never have, don't do it! Your answer will be a dark, deep look of scorn. We agree with you, Roland, that honesty is the best policy. No one has it over this little boy for quietness, in fact we would not know he was in the school if we didn't stumble over him once in a while or if we didn’t hearhis brillant recitations. Many suppositions have been floating around about his future but it is now generally settled that he is to be a minister. ROBERT I . ABBOTT. “bob ' “ IVho'er excels in what we prize Appears a hero in our eyes. “Bob” is always rushed to death because he is so dependable. If there is ever a hard undertaking he is put in charge and the enterprize is always a grand success What better proof is there of his prowess than this Class Book ? It will always be lasting evidence of his skill. Of course, like everyone else he has some faults. We think his greatest one is not passing his smiles around more. But as it is a a Senior Girl on whom he bestows them all, we'll have to forgive him. Captain Track Team. Editor in Chief of Class Book. Glee Club. RUTH D. BACORN. “ruth” ”My'nature is subdued To what it works in.' Yes Ruth, your nature is subdued until the impulse comes to talk or to giggle and then the word subdued hardly fits. If it weren't for the fact that Ruth has her lessons almost every day we would criti- cise her severely for this characteristic, but because of her studiousness and love of fun we will forgive her. We predict for her a great success in what ever be her walk in life. LOUISE AGARD. 4 Waltz me a rou nd aga in, Willie. ’ ’ The first year or two of her Academy course, people got the idea that Louise was a grind simply because she got good marks, but they've gotten over that idea long ago. Now they are trying to puzzle out why she stands so high when she never seems to look at a book. Give us your receipt, Louise! Dancing appears to be her favorite occupation and she does it on every possible occasion. Has she a crush on anyone ? No. not on one, but on ten different chaps. If you don’t see her for ten minutes, when you come back she’ll tell you of some gallant she has seen in the meanwhile that she is des- perately crazy about. May be she’s only seen his picture. That doesn’t make any difference. Cook Academy also seems to have some sort of an attraction for her. Never mind, Louise, you're young yet. annum.....nnnnnnnnnnnnnnni.....

The Fates surely were good to Ruth. They gave her a winning manner, a studious mind and the prettiist eyes imaginable. Her aforementioned win- ning manuer has won her many friends among both the fellows and girls. Her studious mind has gained her the admira- tion of not only the students but the faculty too. Some triumph that, don’t you think so? And as for those eyes, why what would you expect of great, big beautiful eyes? Vice-President Senior Class. Reception Committee. Honor Student. LAURA BKAGHKN “laura” I've done my duty And I've done no more. That certainly is true of Laura as far as studying is concerned, hut if she has done no more than her duty along the line of talking, we think she must have a pretty- large concepi ion of her duty. The one word which never enters her fluent dis- courses is “boy”, but we have a well founded suspicion that this attitude is only a blind to throw us off the track. i = = E E E = E E = GARANA BEDROSIAN. “f.ARANA ” She came to us for June. Although Garana was a B.C- H. S. girl for the first years of her High School life, she is spending her .Senior year in K. F. A. We feel sorry for Binghamton because when it lost Garana it lost a girl worth while and one that we are very glad to have a member of the class of 1912. By the way don’t mention it in public but Garana thinks that E. F. A. is the school. We agree, don’t you ? MARY HELEN BENEDICT. “mary” A'o unkind word has left her tongue Mary- is just the girl that any one would choose for a friend. She is of such character and personality that friendship with her is an elevating thing and one to be appreciated by those that know her. The only thing we have against Mary is, that she stands too high in her subjects and that she has therefore calmly allowed her name to adorn the honor roll all the year. But we have tried to overlook that fault on account ot her sunny smiles and obliging ways. “Invitation Committee.

ROBERT T. BICKFORD bob” A flattering painter who made it his care. To draw men as they ought to be not as they are. Not only is Bob'' an artist of ability, but he is an actor also. With his cane, monocule and funny Ah Peter , he made some hit in the Senior play. We've always thought that somewhere, way down under. Bob was a good sport, but he'd never let us really find out till now, that our surmise was true. But that is just what Senior year is for to make us to realize what peaches” all the other Seniors are. Art Editor of Class Book and Vindex. Class Play. Arbor Day Committee. RAYMOND BENNETT. ray” “No maid need smile at him. We always thought Ray was a quiet boy with wavy hair and dreamy eyes, who gave strictest attention in his classes and never dared smile at a girl but he has surprised us this year. As a love maker in the class play he proved a wonderful success and he has even been sent out of class for disorder. But then when we remember that seeing every show that comes to town is his hobby we can understand some of these traits of char- acter. The Eord” who sits in front of him in algebra says his whistling concerts of popular music are most rare and enter- taining We only hope this most loyal worker for the good of E. F. A. and the class of 1912 may ever be as happy and even go whistling through life with so much success. Class Play. DON CARROEE BIJSS, JR. ‘‘Knowledge is more than equivalent to force. French is his hobby and Virgil his past- time. Sometimes he is suspected of bluffing in French class but we durst not accuse him of it. He certainly must grind some, although naturally bright. He makes himself a minus quantity ex- cept when his presence is required. He soars to elevations far beyond the reach of us poor mortals and whispers downwards in c uncil advice which he has found in his extensive soaring. ABE E- BERNSTEIN ‘ ABE” “Blow Blow! Blow! What would .Senior meeting be without a speech from this gifted youth ? In spite of his efforts we would all go to sleep, if Abe did not come to the rescue with one of his startling plans for our consider- ation. He is a great business man, too. and how much news he always knows. If you want to know some excitement go to “Abe”, for he is so good hearted he would hate to disappoint you. and you'll hear something worth listening to.

HAROLD BOARDMAN “ In thy face I see the map Of honor, truth and loyalty.' Always bent on some deed of kindness, always looking out for anothers comfort, and always winning honors in some tournament, should not Harold have been born in the days of King Arthur? Ah, he would have made indeed a true, faithful knight of the Round Table. On his shield would have been emblazoned great deeds of his prowess and all the country side would have rung with praises, for this noble knight. After he had shown his skill in the athletic games many a time and oft, the Queen of Love and Beauty would have placed on his brow the victor 's wreath. This does not mean that we would be glad had Harold lived centuries ago, for we are only too happy to claim this fine young fellow as a member of the illustrious class of 1912. Class Play Committee.

She's always ready to aid some poor mortal by her soft words and to console the lovelorn laddies. The moment a new individual appears on the horizon, Gladys promptly takes him under her motherly wing and pilots him about. We find she has a great weakness for small rural places, such as Wai' and we predict for her a quiet life e of these favorite resorts of hers. Senio... Party Committee. Mgr.

He has the mein and bear- ing of a soldier, the eyes of a cherub and the smile of a man in love. Oh ! no Henry's not in love. Merely very popular with the fair sex. that's all. They do say, however, that he's had four proposals this year. But. of course, he very modestly denies every one of them. We predict a great career for Henry as a Congressman or a high military officer. Picnic Committee. E = RUTH BUCK “buckie” Learning by study must be won ’ Twas ne'er entailed from son to son. Yes, that surely is “Buckies motto and to this end she grinds and grinds. She is especially brillant in Virgil where her perfeet prose and clever explanations of syntax make even Mr. Parker green with envy. (Now, Ruthie don't be sore. Some one who doesn't know you very well may swallow it all.) Ruth tries to be strong minded and would like to attend a men's college. She will probably never accomp- lish this end, as she will not be able to de- cide between Lehigh and Union. Senior Class Play.

Hence, this serious look.) You just watch him though when he greets his lady love or hears the word candy. Then, oh, then it emerges from its hiding place.

Did you ever see a quotation fit a person so exactly as this fits Mary? It would be hard to explain why you look up to her so and depend so much on her judgment, you just do, for her thoughts seem to jump to the right side of a question. We anticipate great things from her in the future, for with all those brains we know she is going to be something wonderful.

With all her brillancy some- thing has been whispered in our ears to the effect that she dislikes greatly to im- part her knowledge and lend her papers to less shining lights, but of course we don't believe this. Salutatorian. LOUISE FRIDIE “louise” ‘4 Oh ! How qu iet a nd shy a nd still. ’' Allow me to introduce to you the most quiet girl in E. K. A. .She is absolutely guaranteed to say less than a hundred words a day and is often known to keep her own counsel for an hour at a time. Do you wonder that we are proud of this wonderful girl ? And her silence is bene- ficial for she is one of the stars of the class, so we advise more of the feminine sex to adopt her way of doing. = a CHARLES FRIEDMAN 5 “chuck” “Behold! IVe have before us a man, a a spirit. And it is true, ever since “Chuck has been a Freshman, school spirit seems to a have been fused into him so deeply that every defeat and victory has been a personal affair for him to grieve or rejoice over. Although he does consider the school so highly there is one part of it he seems absolutely to disdain, and that is, the fairer sex. We would like to see him a more all-around man and hope this will a be a word to the wise. DANIEL K. FURHMAN “dan Peace ! Ho Let us stay and hear Da n, most noble Dan. Daniel K’s world revolves about one and only one word—argumentation. If this sounds incredible just corner Dan'1 anywhere, he don't care, he don't care,” move the right peg, and like Pega- sus he's off like a flash with a dash and a crash, and soars into the realms of oratory. We hear he intends becoming a lawyer. So we recommend him right now as a competent pleader in any cause, if persistancy has any weight Dan will be “ritfht there with the goods. That is the reason we cannot solve the problem why Dido, the Sibyl and all ‘ Virgilian creatures elude this tenacious youth, but then of course women always have been elusive beings, at least so it seems in Daniel K’s case.

The next thing she really ought not to do appears before the last is finish- ed. She has a flow of eloquence ever at hand, equal to ’’Old Faithful” himself. “Gert” has two other great accomplish- ments. giggling and always having her lessons without ever seeming to study. This last is an art we would all like to ac- quire and we think “Gert” could make a fortune by giving a course of lectures tell- ing of her discoveries along that line. GRETA GIBSON “gibbie” “Such a dancer Where men have souls or bodies she must answer.” “ Gee. ain’t it great to be popular ! How well we all like “Gib” with her ready grin and funny snort. Her greatest fads are Physical Geography Class and studying in Room II. third period. It is rumored that she even dropped a subject in order to obtain this last joy. Greta is very regular in her attendance at school and is very set against skipping; if it were not for this fact we'd consider her a pretty good sport. Banquet Committee. = = = DONALD N.

GERTRUDE GOLDBERG “GERTRUDE” Of an argif yin' mind To do Gertrude justice would be to use a whole lot more paper than this little space but we will do our best with what we have. She is a genius for remembering anything that sounds like a date and is a French student after Miss Daggett's own heart (and that means something !) And be- sides all this brillance, she is a delightful school mate and for the good of future English classes we advise Gertrude to take up argumentation as a profession and to write a book on it.

For four long weary years, Agnes, like a princess in a fairy tale, has been faith- ful and true to her knight, and has been waiting, fondly waiting for him. And we know she will not be disappointed, for cannot Agnes, our Delphian oracle, see far into the future and know things that are to be ? With her extensive know- ledge of the Sibyl’s doings and her ability as a writer, is it any wonder Agnes was chosen «asour prophetess? Class Prophet. WIIJJAM “SPEED HARTNETT “bill Oh what may man within him hide Though angel on the outicard side.'' Now that’s just the question. What does “Bill hide within him? Surely he is not always so slow and dignified. Our only advice is that if you must be slow in other things, don’t be so slow in smiling at the numerous girls who are just crazy about your wavy hair. Business Manager of Class Book. Glee Club, Treasurer of Athletic Council. MIEDRED HAVENS She is of so free, so kind, so apt, so blessed a disposition. From the moment that this clever girl stepped within the portals of E. F. A., she has attained such fearfully dizzy heights in her standings that it makes our heads reel to think of them. Nevertheless she’s not a bit proud of her learning, but walks humbly in the path that leads to know- ledge. Besides Mildred never fails to give her less brilliant friends a boost over the rough places. and she drags many from the “Slough of Despond. We fear that this maiden has more thrilling adventures than are good for her health. There is a rumor afloat concerning one. of the dime novel style, which they say happened at 12.48 at a place where such things usually occur, a gate. For complete details we refer you to Mildred herself who will be more than willing to enlighten you on the subject. Class Historian, Girls Debating Team, V a ledictoria n. AEEYN P.

All those who have seen Muriel in the role of the love lorn Anna May in the min- strels need no introduction, but for the benefit of those few w’ho lost the oppor- tunity we desire to present this talented girl. No wonder her services were needed to make the Class Play a success. Al- though it may seem improbable for one who is so ardent an admirer of the stage, yet Muriel is very like a Quakeress in her tastes, and we often hear her proudly allude to her Quaker ancestors md her desire to be like them. Muriel is earnest and enthusiastic and never does anything half way. Its always with her whole heart or not at all. If you ever need cheer- ing up just go sit with Muriel and be “mothered’’ for a while. She's worth more than any medicine. Senior Play. Honor Minstrels. FREDERIC F.

After being entertained by members of the Senior play cast and others, the majority of those present adjourned to the theatre where the Senior play was greatly enjoyed. ?iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiihiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiihiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii.

For then the Senior play was given and well may the class be proud of its members in “One of the Eight.'’ It is a play surrounding a crew race between rival colleges, with incidents true to college life, with real American college boy spirit and with practical heroism which over- comes treachery and dishonesty. The cast was a clever one, and each individual seemed to be the part he played. Ruth Buck, as Amv.” was a sweet, charming girl, and a coquette with a sense of honor.—cail- you imagine one? The character as she portrayed it was very lovable. Anna Warren, as “Helen,'' was an ideal sweet heart for the hero. She has much dramatic ability, combined with a clear conception of character. Ruth Neagle, as ''Bab,'’ was a favorite with the audience. She acted the part of a bound maid, and her comedy was bright and catchy. As the mother, “Mrs. Brooks,” Muriel Iszard was, indeed, true to life, kind of heart and filled with a maternal pride in her son. She acted with natural dignity. Leslie Brown, as “Henry,” had the leading male role, and he fitted it to a T.” He could fill just such a part in life, and this made his work most effective. As “Carter, the coach of the winning crew, Fred I)uhl did what we have seen him do many a time, he talked until he created spirit” and “loyalty.” He was splendid. Robert Bickford, as “Lord Chillingworth . an English nobleman attending an American university, was a revelation. He was perfect in his interpretation of the character and was easily the bright particular “star of the cast. Arthur McCann, as the hypnotist Marks, had difficult work to do, and he did it. He made us shiver with his cold blooded villiany. The impersonation of the Irish valet of Lord Chilling wot th,” done by Raymond Bennett, was unusually wood His assumed brogue was a rich one and his love scene with Bab” was very funny. Fritz Jessen, as the freshman grind “Molly, had the audience with him from his first appearance with his “Shelley ” He has great ability in comedy and his work with “Bab” was professional. The professor, Leon Markson. was sufficiently pompous and he always had his dignity and his gold headed cane with him. When the red garbed mephisto entered. Charles Sheive made his first appearance as an actor. He carried out the romatic spirit of the character of “Weston in tone and action. He also managed the play very successfully. If one put a farmer from Podunk on the stage, the farmer could have been no more real than Floyd Newell, as “Mr. Brooks.” His acting showed clear understanding of his part. As a whole, the graceful acting and strong interpretation of the boys and girls produced a play that has not yet been excelled here by amateurs. Miss Foster’s fine drill made possible this success and the class is grateful for her untiring efforts in coaching the play. “One of the Eight has given us not only an opportunity to find out our class talent, but a chance to see and appreciate clean athletics and ide.il sportsmanship as they are portrayed in the drama.

The election of officers was E 1 about the first event of our Junior year. | The meeting was held early in December and officers were elected and other matters of importance discussed. There wasa large number present | I all of whom were anxious to enroll themselves as members of the Class of 1913. | Later another meeting was held and a committee appointed for a dance. This dance was held just after Easter in St. Mary’s Hall and proved | = to be a very delightful affair. E In athletics the Juniors proved strong rivals of the Seniors. At the track meet, basket ball game and other contests between the two classes E = the Juniors were always hard to beat. The girls of the class also formed a basket ball team that was not equaled by any of those formed by the other S S classes. | | Later the class picture was taken in which the class made a fine appearance. The great event of the year was the painting of the class numerals around the school. Although we received the names of “Green Juniors’’ for § S using green paint, we had the pleasure of having the Seniors stare at our numerals for a whole day. | In our Senior year we hope to surpass all records of other Senior classes and to make the Class of 1913, the first class to graduate from the new | § Academy, the class that the later Senior classes will take for their model.

They won a majority of their games, | winning from the fast Wilkesbarre team but losing to our old | rivals, Cook, and playing a tie game with Starkey on Thanks- giving Day. The team this year was very even, there being no | particular stars, each man playing a hard game. The work | of Captain Graner and of Harold Hunter was very noticeable | during the year.

The team was ably managed by Gladys Bromley who is in a measure = responsible for the success of the team. Boys Basket Ball The Basket Ball Team closed its season with aver r good standing, win- ing 7 of the 10 games played. The team has been nearly intact for two seasons; Brown, Harper, Personius and Eain forming the combination, bain was the only man who did not play last season. At first the team started off very well. They won from Hornell, but failed to win from Binghamton and Williamsport. But they trimmed Bing- hamton here and from then on they were at their best. The position as manager was looked after very capably bv Henry Doane. At the first of the season the Armory was not available but through the efforts of Mr. Doane the Armory was secured. The star of the season was Brown, who secured over two-thirds of all the points scored. John Harper has been elected Captain for next year, while no manager has been elected. Should Mr. Doane return to school next year, no better choice could be made. = E ..............................................................................................................................................................................................

They were a success, e I and that is saying it mildly. Musical Director Charles X. O’Brien, who has conducted the minstrels for a good many years past, fairly out-did all pre- | 1 vious efforts. It takes a keen discernment to pick out talent for a minstrel, and it takes considerable more ability to round th it talent into form so that | | it will be a finished product when the curtain is rung up and down. That is just what Mr. O’Brien succeeded in accomplishing, and Professor Parker | E and his faculty were profuse in their praise of this season’s minstrel effort. All expectations were exceeded in wit, music, comedy and histrionic = | ability. Thomas Maxcy, as interlocutor, filled the trying position in a commendable manner, and his repartee was sparkling with originality | | The premier comedians were Herman Panimo and Carl Miles, and their songs, jokes, dancing and antics were truly side-splitting. The other end | 1 men were Francis Stiles, Henry Skinner, John Harper and Theodore Kohn, and they were mirth-provoking indeed. The first part opened “Raggety | | Rag” by Francis Stiles, whose make-up and voice just suited the song. “Take a Little Tip From Father” by Henry Skinner was as natural as if he | I was getting it. Leonard Gleckler sang “Driving Home the Cows From Pasture” as if he knew how, and perhaps he did. John (Handsome) Harper | § interpolated “He’s Coming Back” in an inimitable manner, and when the encore came he did come back with more. “Ted” Kohn’s black-face | | specialities and song “Some Sass” was sprightly and artistically rendered, and his jokes, well, they had some point which pricked. Nobody ever = | said “Herm” Panimo was not some “pumpkins” when it comes to shaking his feet and singing coon songs and his “Dramatic Rag” was excruciat- | 1 ingly funny. Tracy Hamilton sang Mr. O’Brien’s latest Hit “Dear to Me Always” and his tenor voice was exactly suited to the selection. Carl | | Miles sang “Brass Band Epliriam Jones” in a catchy, entrancing manner, and Carl can sing, but very few suspected he was a dancer, but he is and a | 5 good one, as the many encores attested. The circle closed the first part with an overture. The members of the circle deserve mention. They were as follows: Ralph Hunt, Oscar | § Ziff, Joseph O’Neil, Frank Weeks, Robert Simpson, Francis Hughes, Robert Freeman, Glen Vought, Ernest Mandeville, Irwin Alpert, Henry Graner, | | Fred Mulcaliy, Austin Miller, Henry Doane, Harold Wetsel, Raymond Price, Henry Steele, Gerald Cosgrove, William Hartnett. In the intermission the Academy String Orchestra played a few selections in a delightful manner. The members of the orchestra are: Piano, § 1 Harry Hildreth ; first mandolins, Edward Levy, Ralph Geddes and Robert Lipcot ; second mandolins, the Misses Gladys Samsell, G. Hummel and J. | E Taylor ; ’cellos, Fred Warren and Clifford Young. The second part was an operetta by Merton Albert and Robert Morris, and the music was written by Charles X. O’Brien, and the adaptations | = were superb. The title was “It Happened in June” and it happened all right, and right side up. The first scene was laid in Texas, and the open- | = ing number was “It’s Good to be Riding a Pony” by William Hatch and chorus, the young man being dressed in true western style. “When Carita | | Dances” by Editha Underhill, who essayed the leading role, was scintillating. Among the songs were “Oh, Little Mother of Mine,” by Campbell = i Cronin ; “What’s the Answer,” by George Givens and Mr. Cronin ; “Please Stop Making Eyes at Me,” Florence Walsh, and “Like a Pure White | 1 Rose,” by George Givens. Mr. Givens was in the title roll as “Tom” owner of the ranch, and the heroine “Lillian” was Bessie Harris, and both | | were fine, having snap and vim as professionals. The other parts were essayed by Leslie Brown as the uncle; Raymond Curtin as Lord Chester | | Ogglebury. Hazel Ludlow in her charming toe dance, the accompaniment being played by her mother, was one of the headliners of the evening, and she | = was compelled to respond to vociferous encores. Miss Ludlow was a surprise to all by her graceful, exacting gyrations. Frank Weeks and the kiddies were delightfully pleasing and was very loudly applauded for the unique and original “stunt.” Joseph O’Neill’s specialty was superb, and taken all in all there has never been a better amateur ministrels produced in Elmira. ................................................................................................. iiiiiiiimiii.....mi.............................................................................................. iiiiiiiiiiimmiiiimiiiiiiimiiiiiir (53) ...........................................„„„„„„„„......................................................................................................I1M| ■ iiiiiiiiini, iimiiiiiiiimimiiiiiiMiiiiii iiiiiiiiiiini..iiiiiiiiimiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiimimmmiiiii....................................................................................................... min DANIEIy FUJI KM AN E. F. A. Debating Team—1912 In 1906, the E F. A. “Assembly” was organized by a few students interested in Debating and Argu- mentation. It was changed to the “Senate” in ign, and meetings were held weekly at No. Two School. Plans were made for the third annual contest with Binghamton Central High School for the cup given by the Amherst Alumni Association of Central New York. The question: “Resolved, that the Com- mision Form of Government should be adopted by the Third Class Cities of New York State” was chosen as the subject for debate. Binghamton took the affir- mative side of the question, a try-out was held early in February, and the following able debaters were chosen to represent the school: Leon Markson (Leader), Thomas Maxcy, Daniel Fuhrman and Otto Vieweg (Alternate). Professor Welles of the Faculty coached the team, and on March 22 the debate took place. Elmira, although making a creditable show- ing, was defeated. After the debate the team was royally entertained by the victors. On May 1st the “Senate” adjourned until the new school opens in the Fall. I.EON MARKSON THOMAS MAXCY (54) OTTO VIEWEG TAIL PIE.

Alteration Sale Brings Multitudes of Saving Chances on Summer Wearables a Extensive alterations are to be made to the interior of our store. Floors come up-stairways will be rebuilt —the entire arrangement of the interior is to be re- modeled and improved. CL, A great amount of room, now occupied by merchan- dise, is needed before carpenters and builders can begin operations. Thousands of dollars worth of merchan- dise must be speedily disposed of—necessitating the most vigorous price cutting on all lines, in all depart- | ments. a This condition of affairs presents most extraordi- nary opportunities to buy the most desirable things— the very things that every other store is selling at full price, here at unmatchably low figures. a If you need a new summer frock, coat or hat ; if your supply of hosiery, lingerie, gloves, or going-away things need replenishing ; if you want material for a new dress, or waist or for trimming, you will find this store ready with the most satisfactory assortments, and at prices in many instances that save you one-half. 1 S.
