' According to the police Shelley and .Gray were at tha Belmont Hotel six days. They rented a room, kept their 'brigs and clothing in it and were fre- quently seen going In and out.

Tho police say Shelley nnd Gray worked In evening clothes made to order by a Fifth avenue tailor, but frequently donned silk pajamas, and were then prepared with a sleep walking alibi.

The weather today probably will b,c snow. f Whoever climbs must reach up to take hold of something above to help to climb higher. In physical clirribing, the mind, feet and hands must go together. Mental climbing requires the concentration of all the forces of mind and heart, and the appropriation of a fixed amount of reserved time. A merchant must be a climber. Not to climb is to stand still, lag behind and fall out of the race. A store must mount upward; and to do that it must have a store ladder, as there' is no backstairs door, nor short-cu- t way to success. 1. 2. This ladder is in daily use in this store.

The Blouse When one goes to the land of sports costumes the blouse is one of the most essential requisites of the ward- robe. It merits the greatest thought. We have assembled a collection of Charming Hand-Mad- e Blouses which have that dainty touch which only fine hand work can give. Drawn work, dainty embroidery, real Val. filet or Irish laces u?ed for narrow edgings of a variety of collar lines are features of the blouses. Bib collars, delicately embroidered, square collars, rouml collars, pointed collars and high collars, also collarless necks, hae been used. Great care is taken to make sure that the collars fit as they should. They will readily roll over n sweater collar to give the white neckline so becoming to all. Cuffs, too, have received careful thought. The turnback cuff is used, for it turns back over a snug sweater cuff and gives a dainty finish to the wristline. Batiste, voile, handkerchief linen are used in the dainty con- fections, $5.75 to $19.75. Blouses of Sport Silk are excellently tailored. Peter Pan collar, pointed or square collar, tucked bosom Charvet cuff aro splendid features adapted in these waists of habutai or radium silk or crepe de chine, $9.75 to SIG.oO. Dimity blouses, striped or cross-ba- r patterns, have roll Tuxedo or square collars. Some of them with a dainty Irish edge similar blousis come in batiste. 4 Madras makes excellent blouses for hard sport wear. Handkerchief linen is excellent for sport blouses. One model has pique collar and cuffs with an Irish edge, which launders vcr successfully. Peter Pan collars, too, are used. $3.95 to $9.75.
