We are doing an elegant business; our sales from March ist to ntfw
are nearly three times as much as the best March and April we ever had since
we went into Ladies' Suits and Jackets. Of course we feel that there must be
some good cause for this, and we can only attribute it to the fact that the
ladies have investigated and "shopped," and our stock has won on its merits.
The buying-public all know that we have the finest assortment of tasty, well
made garments shown in either city, but have found out also that our
That is, that there is no (so-called) "special prioe" named in any store but
goods of equal value, with a wider range of selection, are shown by us every
day at equally as low prices. Otherwise, we have goods for the masses at
prices they can afford, and yet garments that are different from those in the
average department stores and far more satisfactory to a lady who is at all
posted as to how goods should be made.
Again, we feel sure that our Suits and Jackets are delivered with a far
better fit (so important to a woman) than is usual. We know we have made
purchasers of a great many ladies this spring *ho never wore a Ready-to-
Wear Suit before, and we are prepared to show any woman that at prices of
$15.00, $20.00, $25.00, $3 5 .0f and £50. 00 we can save her 'money (as against
bothering to have her suit made), besides giving far better results.
Perhaps you have noticed our elegant window displays this spring
thousands have— and commented upon the beautiful Waists and Skirts.
Well, come in and price them! You will be surprised to see how reasonable
they are— they are "swell" designs- --and yet no more money than the other
stores are asking for goods with no style and little taste in their get-up. Our
Waists and Skirts are right in style and cheap in price.

GENERAL IN SKIRTS
WIFE OF THE COMMANDER OF THE
TRANSVAAL TROOPS A
SOLDIER
ACCOMPANIES HEX HUSBAND
From the Days of Chilrthoiod Mrs.
Jonbert Has Been AccuHtomed to
the Alarms of War, and in Jlauy
Trying Occasions Han Shown
Great Courage English Defeat
at Majolia Dne to Her.
Since the days of Cleopatra the women
to actually take part in the conduct of
the wars of their respective countries
have been few. At the present day there
is only one woman, says Woman's Life,
who, with any justice, can be termed "a
general in petticoats," and that is Mrs.
Joubert, wife of Gen. Joubert, comman
der-in-chief of the Transvaal forces. Mrs.
Joubert lias accompanied her husband
in all the wars he has undertaken. Her
cheery face, almost hidden from view
under the folds of a huge black capple,
has become such a familiar sight with
the burghers that the incongruity of one
woman walking in and out among an
armed force of several thousand men
seems to be a commonplace.
A HEAL VETERAN.
From the days of her earliest childhood
Mrs. Joubert has been used to war's
alarms. She can load and fire a gun with
almost es much skill as "Slim Piet"
(Anglice, "Clever Piet") himself, and on
many occasions has shown the greatest
courage.
It is not generally known that it was
to her that the great defeat of the Eng
lish at Majuba was greatly due. The
general considered the position unassail
able, but Mrs. Joubert, her eyes afire
with patriotism, urged the attack, event
ually conquering the scruples of her hus
band and the other commandants. The
result is known.
Mrs. Joubert' s last appearance at a
war occurred during the recent Magato
land campaign, at the extreme north of
the Transvaal. An artillery, burgher
and native force of nearly 10,000 men
were dispatched to the front to subdue
the rebel chief, M'Pefu, intrenched in a
series of rocky fastnesses backed by the
Limpopo. Notwithstanding what was
feared would be the bloody nature of the
war, the heat— over 100 degrees in the
shade — and the fever, the plucky woman
joined the general a week or two after
his arrival at the Hoofd Lager, accom
panied only by two or three little Kaffir
maids.
Finding Gen. Joubert In an anything
but comfortable tent, she routed him out,
erected a tent of her own,- and Installed
him amid all the comforts of home.
What was more, she reconstructed the
general'. 1 ? mess arrangements and cooked
his meals with her own hands. The wife
of the commanding general peeling po
tatoes was an ordinary sight any day
during the campaign.
KNOWS NO FEAR.
On one occasion during the war the
news came into camp that the general
had been taken ill thirty miles away in
the midst of a country full of hostile na
tives and deadly with malaria. Without
hesitation Mrs. Joubert made prepara
tions to go and join her husband, and
there is little doubt that she would have
accomplished her purpose had not more
reassuring news come to hand.
The war came to an early close, owing
to the military genius of Gen. Joubert,
and. it is not too much to pay, his better
half. The plans of the campaign from
the time Mrs. Joubert arrived till the
camp was struck were talked over at her
dinner table, her sound advice and almost
unequaled knowledge of Kaffir warfare
being held in high esteem.
Although such a warrior, Mrs. Joubert
Is a true woman. There is nothing mas
culine about either her appearance or
' manner. T'nlike most Dutch Afrikander
women, she is slim, especially when com
pared with the robust propohtiona of
Gen. Piet Joubert. Wonderfully active
for her 60 years and over, she can accom
plish as much hard work In an hour as
town-bred women would in a week.
Needless to say, she is immensely popu
lar among the burghers. To the sick she
is ever ready to lend assistance, and
many a dying man has blessed her min
istrations.
When not on the warpath Mrs. Joubert
is singularly retiring. Many Pretorlans
have never seen her, although she lives
