What is the need when all is so plain and logica The calendars of lhe manufacturers read "Apri winter goods an incubus and a menace. With the public. this is lanuarv, and there are yet four full montns of winter-wear to come. Between anxious manufacturers a\h\ eager public stands Wanamaker's,?a mighty conduit. What more is needed? This lanuary tlow of goods. like the flow of Niagara, is remarkable only for its immensity. The laws which occasion it are as commonplace as the laws ofgravitation. , New Thoughts in Spring Dresses You may find eighteen in the Royal Salons, hcr.il.1s of an approaching season, and the latest dreams of the style makers. Without men and women to dream dreams and embody them, what would become of new original fashions ? Among them, these:?

These costumes picked at random from the front rank of the advance guard ol" the season's styles, are an earnest of the leaderslnp of the Wanamaker busi? ness. Having, by the logic of position, taken com? mand of the fashions in Women s Dress, the place is sure to be held tenaciously and maintained courage ouslv. Even at this early day the stock of Spring Cos? tumes ranges by easy steps from $12 to $150. At the Turn of the Tide There are strongindications already apparent that the beginning of the fiood-tide in Spring goods is close at hand. Spring tides are proverbiaily high and strong, and that of 1808 to Wanamaker's will prove an emphatic demonstration of this general truth. The new Cotton Fabrics are well represented now, and every day strengthens their vanety and numbers. It is their tlrst appearance in every sense. and they are holding day-long receptions. No prettier fabric is made on a loom than these delicate stuffs, with springtime printed on them and woven into them in a thousand different patterns.
