Havc you thought how close spring is? Only seven weeks to
Easter-nblossom time is just around the corner.
The display will be ready tomorrow. It' is to give you a first
glimpse of the stuffs which we‘ vc been gathering for weeks and
months. The store is in readiness for your demands.
SILKS——
Foulards and Liberty cation. and soft plain silks. About every
good maker in America' is represented, while Europe contributes
some beauties.
WASH GOODS-
Crisp and dainty and novel. American and imported are alike
charming. You’ll notice that mercerising is less-prominent than
heretofore; is used more for figures than anything else.
‘ There are lots of figures. clear and sharp most of them, but
stripes are again to the fore. ‘
DRESS GOODS—-
thther black or in colors there’s a quiet rich dignity about
them all. The silk-and-wool combinations fairly sparkle. yet their
luster is one of elegance and refinement.
French and German and English weavers send much. but there
is great wealth of home-made cloths. The American designers are
getting closer and closer to the tastes of American women. You’ll
like. these fabrics better than any of the past.
There’s‘a' show of early-spring hats, too. Some of Phipps &
Atehison's distinguished models are ready-mot the bright summery
hats for late wear, but the soft-colored (almost neutral) tints that
make the change from winter to sunny days so gradual and easy.
M
i
The opening will be of special interest to women who are mak-
ing ready for a Southern trip; of keen enjoyment to every woman
who loves beauty and newness.
You are personally invited to enjoy the display.
RUMMAGE.
The rummage isn‘t all gone‘yct. The price cards show that op-
portunities to save money are still numerous in some departments.
Many women have grasped the chance. The time to take‘it is

CAPE MAY. N. J. February ll—The
bulk of the uuknowu schooner which
was burned at sea. last night. off this
place. is floating about in the ice this
morning. a few miles off shore. The
crews of live life saving stations Went
to the assistance of the burning vessel
last night. but after being cut until ll
o’clock this morning. they gave lip the
attempt to reach her and rchd back
to the shore.
The life savers from the stations at
Cape May. Cape May Point and Two
Mile Beach. who returned tell graphic
stories of their long struggle to loud
assistance to the crew of the burning
ship. The night was about the coldest
of the winter. and the darkness was al—
most impenetrable. ln addition there
was enough wind to make the sea chop-
py and therefore dangerous for small
craft. For several days great quanti-
ties of ice have been floating out
the shore, and extending several miles
out to sea. The burning schooner was
llrst observed on lire at about 5 o’clock
vesierdny afternoon At that time she
appeared to be iinbeddcd in the drifting
ice. The three life saving crews from
the neighborhood Were joined by the
crwe from two stations north of here.
andthese‘ men battled for hours in a
fruitless endeavor to penetrate the ice
and get to the asslsiaucoof the‘llnper-
tiled crew of the biasing ship They
were unable to force their frail boats
through the packed ice. Long after
midnight the More men gave up the
battle.
Their suffering was intense. One of
