New Dresses Every One of Them In Over Forty Different
Styles in Serge, Taffeta and Satin

They are all copies of foreign models, some of them are exact reproductions of fine French creations, while others are slightly modified to appeal
to American tastes. Young girls, small women, average women and large women who wear extra sizes are all taken care of in this remarkable sale.
The Frocks Th at Are Sketched
are representative of a very small number of the many models that make up the 1200.
We will give a short description of each, to let you know something of the real worth
of these dresses.
$15
Not One Dress Is Marked Over $25
Women have been saying, "Why, it is impossible to buy any kind of Autumn
dress under $25, and even then, they aren't very good!"
There is no need to say that now.
$15, $16.50, $18.75, $19.75, $23.25 and $25
are the prices of these dresses that are made of good materials in styles that are
exceptional.
Young Girls Getting Ready for School
or college can get fitted out in exactly the dresses that they need. Working women
will find this an opportunity of getting neat serge dresses for very little. And
women who want frocks good enough for afternoon occasions during the Winter,
or street dresses for the Autumn, can do no better than to buy several of these while
they can be bought!
These Are But a Few of the Many Models
Some which we should like to have sketched did not arrive in time, but you can
see them all the very first thing on Monday morning at 10 o'clock.
Soft, lustrous satin, frocks in navy blue, taupe, burgundy and black are trim
med with silk fringe all around the overskirts. $18.75,
Taffeta, satin-and-Georgette crepe, satin beautifully tucked, taffeta-and-Geor-gette
crepe, serge-and-satin and fine serge you will find all these materials in
dresses that are pleasing surprises after all that we have heard and with truth
about how expensive all clothing is to be this Autumn and Winter. Clothing will
be expensive that much is true but

realize its excellent quality.
$18.75
Strictly tailored and how smartly attractive
is the result in this serge frock that is the same
in back as it is in front! The black buttons, the
braid on the large side pockets and on the snugly

unusual wide belt which ends in an imposingly
graceful fash. In front and on the ends of the
sash in back it is embioidevrd with raised silk,
which gives the effect of chenille embroidery.

panel in the back. This is an exact reproduction
of a French model.
