THE PHILADELPHIA TIMES. 12 FRIDAY MORNING. MARCH 18. 1898. GREA TER OAK HALL I GREA TER OAK HALL GREA TER OAK HALL 'Wanamaker't Itfanamaker's 5 1 PHILADELPHIA, Friday, March 18, 1S9S.

The weather today will probably be fair. This is a Gingham Year $50 LIEN'S NEW Wehavesor- SPRING SUITS selves in the new Springf This is the thing to say! most Clothing stores say it about this time; often Tyhen it's not saying- much, either But vce say it because we know it's a fact made every Suit right here in the house. Into these Fashion has writ that. Her FOR MEN It Costs Less to be Gowned gracefully and fittingly than to be- Gowned in the usual half hap-hazard way if you know where to go for the Gown. No more than a hair's-breadth may measure the difference in expression between two faces, but it is a distinguishing mark Just so we see that Expression is put into a Gown precisely the expression that harmonizes with the individual.

Knowing what to do and how to do it, the cost to us is even less to turn out perfect work than it is to the average tailor to produce the happy-go-lucky sort. The cost to you is less Tailor-made Gowns at $35, $40, $45, $50 and $60. We make up your own materials if you BEST IN THE WORLD 9i classes of business and profes can wear them with econ dress their feet as genteelly as or banker, as one cair of before. And when we speak of Ginghams it is in the broadj way that takes in the various woven-in-color cotton fabrics gingharns proper and cheviot and madras and Oxford, which is almost a matlasse weave. You think of the whole group as gineham and duck.

So do we, and we shall only use the distinguishing names for pegs to hang the story on. When a peculiarly pretty cotton strikes you it is safe to guess that it is either Aberfoyle or Scotch and Aberfoyle is very domestic. These cottons are washed with soap at the mill and THE COLORS ARE FAST. And yet, we saw a fine gingham that had! been ruined in the wash the other day. It had been left to an indefinite soaking with other articles and the suds were formed of a very cheap and impure soap.

Can't have and hold beauty without fair care. Of the American goods there are a hundred and forty-three styles at 15c forty-seven styles at 18c; ninety-one styles at j23c. The Scotch ginghams are from Whitelawand Anderson. From the former there are fifty-eight styles at 35c and they are almost as dainty 'as dimities, with added beauty all their own. Toile du Nord is the gingham newness of the year exclusive linen houses sell them as Linen Ginghams.

A cotton house, presumably, would call them cotton. Maybe half of each the result a fabric much like a fine mohair with a bit of silk intermixed. Beautiful for dresses and wonderfully good for little boys' suits for there is combined the mohair beauty and the gingham wear. Toile du Nord is in two qualities and two widths 21 in. at 28c and 32 in.

at 43c. All these cottons are in the usual cotton section northeast of center. And this story of ginghams may stand as a sample of the wonderful completeness of the year's dress goods planning. The larger-than-ever selling is easily explained. Douglas shoes will wear as lone cheaper goods.

MILLER WILL CASE TO BE ARGUED TO-DAY Supremo ltonch Was Xot Full Yesterday, so the Case Was Postponed. The celebrated Miller will case from Allegheny county, which was to have been argued yesterday before the Supreme Court, was postponed until to-day, as there was not a full bench present. The postponement was brought about by request of couusel for both appellants and appellee. Eleven years ago Alexander II. Mlller.after having lived three years beyond the allotted three score and ten.

died. Then his will, executed May 1M, 18KH, with two codicils, dated May 21, 1SS4, and July 20, 1SSKJ, was opened and read. Alexander Hampton J. and Z. M.

I). Miller, three of the six children, found that they were not so well provided for as Florence, the daughter and one of the executors of the will, and the other two sons. Nevertheless, ft few days later, they allowed the Instrument to be probated without objection. The Inventory and appraisement tiled at the same time showed a personality of and real estate valued at Two years passed. Then Hampton J.

Miller, on August 31, 1SS0, petitioned the Orphans' Court to appeal from the admission of the will to probate. For some reason or other he neglected to file within ten days a bond for costs, so In January of the following year the petition was dismissed. 'Hils was the beginning of the long drawn out litigation. Again Hamptun J. Miller petitioned the Orphans' Court to appeal from the probation.

Again his appeal was dismissed, but this time on the ground that the evidence did not show a want of testamentary capacity nor undue Influence. lu the meantime Alexander Miller had begun a like proceedings, which was dismissed by the lower court, but the Supreme Court reversed that decision upon the point of undue Influence, which was a question for a Jury. Then the brothers Joined hands. Evidence was prepared of the testamentary Incapacity of the father and of the undue influence of Florence C. Miller over him.

And along this line the tight has since been made. After seesawing the lower courts and the Supreme Court for seven years the case finally came to a trial before a Jury In May. of 1S1I7. After deliberating two days that body sent In a sealed verdict for the defendants, Florence C. Miller, the executors and trustees.

Nothing daunted by Innumerable defeats the three brothers again appealed to the Supreme Court and it is this appeal that Is to be argued this morning. mm FAR REN'S BENEFIT All London Staje Celebrities Participated to Make It a Great success!
