Last Big Rediiction on
All Our Taiiored Garments
The new garments are coming* in, but we want to cut
one more slice off the price of this season's stock. You
can get Suits and Coats for less than half what the new
ones will bring. If you are smart in designing, a little
work will make them like the new styles.
$25 to $29 Coat Suits, $15.
$20 Long Cloth Coats, $10.
Children's $8.98 Coats, $5.
See the Pretty Valentines
This is o-ur first showing of them, and they are rarely
pretty and attractive. Not the grotesque kind. If they
verge on the comic, it is the kindly suggestive, and not an
attempt to convey disagreeable personalities anonymously.
The artistic work, too, is of a high order. Prices from
1c up to$4.98.
Poems You Ought to Know.
Whatever your occupation may lie, and however crowded your
hours with affairs', do not. f-u.Il lo secure nt least a few minutes every

The Princess Waits.
By JEAN COURTENAY.
(Copyright, 1!?", by Joseph B. Bowlcs.)
It waa a yellow room, her sanctum,
and seemed to hold eternal aunahlnc.
It was at the top of the great town
house, and extended right through the
building from east to west. Wlde case;
ment wlndows wlth dcep window scats
opened out, on the east, to the park; sO
that you looked away into greenness
nnd space, and mlssed tho trafllc that
siuged ln the road way beneath.
Tho walls w-cre lning wltli oltl yellow
tapcstrles, and art treasurea abounded.
And she who sat there ln tho qiiaint
gllded chair? She waa llke some oldworld
prlncess or falry queen?motlonleas ajid
silent. Dreamlng amld beauty?herself Its ?
very cHsence?yet walting In unconscious ,
wlstfulneaa for the awakening of love. j
Pamela's father, reallzlng that hls only
Chlld possessed unusual beauty, had de?
sired an artlst to palnt her ln hor sanc
tunr. Pamela wns now a,wa.lntlng tho
llrst slttlng. , , i.-nixL'A
Sho was so ongrossed ln thought that
she did not hear him announced. anl pn
ly became awaro of Ills presence by tho
deep slgh of artlstlo pleasure that es?
capod hlm as ho gared spellbound on the
plcturo before hlm. .... ,,
Sho moved slightly, and broke the spell.
"Don't move. please! Keep Just as
vou are. The pose is absolutely per
fect." ho sald, eagerly, and wlth a cer-.
tain authority. .
"Then you have corno to palnt my
portralt?" , , ' '??_
Her voice wns BOft and musical, ancl
ahu had a slightly foreign intonatlon
?thitt 'was oualnt and pretty. It camo
-with a touch of surprlse to the artlst.
for her father was a typlcal EngllBh
man, proud and reserved.
"I had darod to lmaglne lt possible?
tlll I saw you," he aald. "Now, you
frighton ine." , ? ,
"Hut how?" Her wondorful eyea
widenod wlth surprtso, and he found
them deep gray.
"Bocause?becauso," he mado a geat
ure of despair, "no canvas will hold
you!" . ,
A llttle smilc Ufted tho corners ot her
mouth as she answerod: "la that so?
I did not know that I was so-large;
you frlghten me now, Mr. Erroll! -
Tho artlst was rapldly maklng tho
necessary prepuratlons for begirining
hla sketch. Hc lookel up at her words
nnd meetlng hor droll oxpresslon.
"Ah, It ls not your sizc," hc sald. It
is your beauty."
Hla tlark head was bent onco moro
over hls crayons and palnts and he
mlssed the rose-red that wnrrrrcd her
clear pallor; and porhaps it was as
well, for it would but have deopened
hls despair.
Her amlte grew.
"Beauty ls but sklu deep. they say,
Your canvas shoull bo strong enough
to hold mo even so!"
Erroll stralghtcned hlmaelt from his
stooplng position and looked at hls falr
sltter. Then ho laughed fiankly and
sald:
"Ah, the beauty ls not all. Thero ls
tho splrlt behind that ls moro dlftleult
to capturo; and behind yet again.Is tho
woman's heart that will iwaken only
at tho comlng of her prlnce. Isn't that
so?"
"I?I thlnk It is," sho sald, wonder
ingly, and onco more the rare roses
blooineiTrTh her choeks. "But?how dld
you know?"
Ho was slandlng now before his oasol
buay at work, watchlng each BufjtlQ
change of oxpresslon fllt across her face
wlth tho artlst sldo of hlnr uppcrmost.
and thorefore unliamperod by tho self
conBclousness of the man.
"I read it ln your eyes, I think," he
ronlled,
Just then tho door opened and a trlm
mald crossed tho spacious room nnd
Hoated herself wlth her work at the
farther window.
When Erroll left that mornlng, lm
carried aiwny wlth hlm in hls hoart,
nnd an ache that would never be cured
?tlll he had won fanio, and might daro
to nwaken tho prlncess.
The Hllt'lnga took placo regularly, and
nnd tho pOrtralt grew, and ao dld thelr
frleudshlp.
Pamohi's deep eyes gained a gladness
---und . an addeil wlstCuluesa of . whlch
hIu. know not, hut which enhanced her
heauty ln the- oyos of Erroll.
' Ills pTctured Panrela hud found her
houI; lt looked out Of her gloiious eyoa
and Bliirtled tho beholder by Us power
a nd lovelliiess, und to Ki-roll lt propho
Hlod fanio. Tho real Pamela was hot
I'liilte ho conlldentlal after n tlme, Sho
was geutle aud graclous always; that
waa la'v nature, but at tlmos shu 'would
becomo Bhy and the ache' grew and grew
ln Iho arllst'H heart.
lln knew that the prineoHK was ready
to awaken ,but, alas! tlnj poor prlnce
was delnyed ln his comlng.
v Hc called lier pluyfiilly "prlncess" in
memory of his flrst lmpr**ssion about '
hor. Ho had in.nl.. hor promlso not to
look at hor plcture till It waa flnlahed.
"lio I grow qulokly?" sho asked ono
day. "I walt wlth lnrpatlencc to see
myaelf."
"You must not grow too fast. prin
ceag, or you wlll not have Btrongtli to
Uve. Do I tlre you wlth the slttlngs?"
ho added, wlatfully.
"Oh, no, Mr. Erroll," wns th<> eager
roply. "They are my-" Hhe hosltated.
"Your what. my prlncess?'' Hls dark
eyes qiicstloned cagerly.
"They make mo very happy," was tho
sby answor. and tho rosr? that onlv
bloomed for Erroll crowded Into her
face.
"You will spoll mo for any other slt
tor, Prlncess Pamela," said tho artlst.
wondorlng how mucli longor lio would
be ablo to orush down tho longiug to
gather hor close to hls heart. Her nalve
confesslon made tho tenrptation almost
irreslstlblo.
Hor father was dellghted with tho
portralt and anxious for lt to appear In
the Koyal Academy that year.
"You have succeeded wondorfully, Mr.
Erroll," |,o sald, wlth more enthiisluani
In hla inanner than lt often showed.
"My llttle daughter is beforo me In
softoned?"hor mother looks at mo out
of her eyes! IThls plcture .wlll mako vou
funious, I hope," he added kindly."
"I hopo so. slr. And. if lt does, I nrav
come back and ask you for a far greater
favor."
"I.ndeed!" The Englishmon retlred
of her eyoa! This plcture wlll make you
hastily Into liis sholl. "I hope it may
thoro will be tlme enough to disouss
thnt when the plcture ls acceptod."
Tho plcture wns hung on the llno.
It ropresontod Pamela as tho artist
hnd llrst seen her, slttlng ln tho. gitdon
chalr, wlth her groat dark eyes gazlnti
out Into space. And in paluting hot
oyos Erroll had succeoded wonderfully,
for they *ifcCro as evaalVO ln color na ths

Hc in my power to grant it, if so. Hut
dramy, far-off look, there was a dawn
inrecognltion in tlieir soft, tendi ;
depths, as lf sho already saw hor prfnoa
ln tho far distance. and was longing to
wclcome hlm. Her drooplng mouth was
shaped for a kiss, and her lap was full
of violeta.
it was callod "The Prlnceaa Walts,"
anrl was proelainred the crownlng trl?
umph of art in tlu* oxhlhltion.
Erroll found hlmpelf famous and l>e
Blcged iwith orders. So ho asked thal
"greater favor," whlch wns not denlei!
hlm.
Then hc persuaded Pamela to let Ii Ir*
tako hor to seo tho plcture. Sho was
qulckly ready, and ln a cllnging woolon
gown of creamy Unt, wlth violeta tr.
hor brlt and a drooplng white hat, she
looked to hlm falrer tlmn ovor.
It was early in tbe day, and tho room
was empty?blcssedly ornpty whon thoy
arrived there. And when Panfola had
gnzed at hor ploturod self for aome
ralnutca, sho turned to thu artlst and
sald:
"You said you saw u in my ayea-ls

"I.ook_at me and I will toll you.
was his reply.
Sho rsrlaed her oyes to his faoo. but
what mIk*- saw thoro startled hor. for
after a rh-etlng glance, her whlto llds
fell. _?--'-,
Tlien Erroll drew her closo and elos.-r.
