To ofTer such pictures, beautifully framed, was an opportunity

tints and English prints. The frames are beautiful and artistic,
each chosen with the ultimate view of making that particular pic
ture a thing of perfect harmony.
It would seem almost impossible that such pictures framed as
these ever could be had at the prices named for" this sale, $5.00
to $26.00. A wonderful gift-choosing opportunity.
