that these condensed consolidated financial statements be read in

of operations for the periods ended April 29, 1995 and April 30, 1994 
are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full 
year.

February 3, 1996 ("Fiscal 1996") totaled $244,342,000 as compared to 
$297,611,000 for the corresponding period of the fiscal year ended 
January 28, 1995 ("Fiscal 1995"), a 17.9% decrease.  The Company had a 
22.8% decrease in sales of existing stores compared to Fiscal 1995.  
7.3% of sales for the first quarter of Fiscal 1996 are attributable to 
stores opened since the first quarter of Fiscal 1995.  Sales for stores 
closed since the first quarter of Fiscal 1995 accounted for 2.4% of 
sales during that quarter.  The decrease in sales from existing stores 
was primarily attributable to the lack of consumer acceptance of the 
Company's Spring merchandise assortment and a general weakness in 
women's apparel sales.  The number of retail stores increased from 1,344 
on April 30, 1994 to 1,416 on April 29, 1995.  During the first quarter 
of Fiscal 1996 the Company opened 11 new stores and closed 23 existing 
stores.  The Company anticipates a net addition of 10 new stores in 
Fiscal 1996.

       Cost of goods sold, buying and occupancy expenses expressed as a 
percentage of sales increased 5.7% in the first quarter of Fiscal 1996 
as compared with the corresponding period of Fiscal 1995.  The Company's 
cost of goods sold percentage increased by approximately 1.0% during the 
first quarter of Fiscal 1996 as a rsult of promotions initiated to 
stimulate consumer demand.  As a percent of sales, buying and occupancy 
expenses increased 4.7% due to the effect of lower comparative sales on 
these relatively fixed costs.

       Selling, general and administrative expenses expressed as a 
percentage of sales increased 3.8% in the first quarter of Fiscal 1996 
as compared to the corresponding period of Fiscal 1995.  The primary 
reason for this increase was the effect of lower comparative store sales 
on relatively fixed general and administrative costs.  

       The effective rate of income taxes as a percent of income before 
income taxes decreased to 28.0% for the first quarter of Fiscal 1996 as 
compared to 32.2% for the corresponding period of Fiscal 1995.  This 
reduction is attributable to the cumulative annual effect of permanent 
tax benefits applied to lower pretax income.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

       At April 29, 1995, the Company had working capital of 
$181,496,000 as compared with $191,815,000 at January 28, 1995.  The 
ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 1.7 to 1 at April 29, 
1995 and 1.8 to 1 at January 28, 1995.

       Cash used in operating activities during the first three months 
of Fiscal 1996 increased $1,906,000 as compared to the corresponding 
period of Fiscal 1995.  This increase was primarily due to an an 
increase in cash flow from the Company's investment in prepaid assets.  
Prepaid assets increased $23,858,000 during the first quarter of Fiscal 
1995 as a result of the purchase of accounts receivable of the Company's 
private label credit card program and decreased $12,081,000 in the first 
quarter of Fiscal 1996 due to a refund of federal income taxes.  This 
was offset by $18,325,000 decline in net income as well as a $14,972,000 
increase in the Company's net investment in inventory (inventory 
increase less accounts payable increase). 
 
       Through April 29, 1995, capital expenditures amounted to 
$10,488,000.  During Fiscal 1996, the Company anticipates incurring 
capital expenditures of approximately $30 million primarily for the 
construction of 55 new stores, the remodeling and expansion of existing 
stores, and completing the expansion of a distribution facility in 
Greencastle, Indiana.  It is anticipated that the capital required for 
expenditures will be financed principally through internally generated 
funds.

       Cash dividends were $2,320,000 for the three months ended April 
29, 1995 as compared to $2,312,000 for the comparable period of Fiscal 
1995.
