THE LITTLE ETON The Name That is Read with a Smile • What the Mothers of Boys are Looking For The Boys aren't kicking about the backward season as much as the most of us, in fact, they can "slide to first" better, when there's scarcely a cover- ing of grass in the fields. And mothers know that this same "slide" requires a good Halifax Tweed or some wash material to withstand the friction and the dirt. Mothers will have a chance to fix the Boy up very reasonably by calling at "The Little Eaton" and inspecting our largo assortment of Boys' Tweed and Worsted Suits. Wo have also just received a ship - went of Boys' Buster Brown Wash Suits, nice neat patterns in Duck and Linen, welling at 90o, $1.25, $1,40 and $1.75. SATURDAY'S BARGAINS.
