This is true but the local team had only been 'organized one week and only had three nays practice; since tnen tney nave been materially strengthened and have had tne experience ot outside games. and only wait until the Wake Forest- Towards Readv - Made Garments The Coat Suits, Silk, Wool and Wash Skirts, Muslin Underwear, Shirt Waists, Kimonas, Wrappers and many- other garments, and we have "taken time by the forelock1' and have in these departments a liberal stock for early spring showing.
