Dresses Modestly Priced Hundreds of women are looking for such dresses between the cheap grades and the costly. They want something with good style and well made of good material, but do not wish to buy anything expensive just now. For them we brought in this group of frocks at $30 to $47.50. At present cost of living theseare really low-priced. As you would naturally expect, these dresses are all in the darker colors, chiefly blacks and blues, but some have touches of light color in their trimming. In many instances satin and tricolette are combined with the serge. Some of the diesses are straight-line models, others have waist lines. Pleats are plentiful, box pleats and overstraps, and some of the tunics, are profusely pleated. An accordion-pleated. coat dress is ex tremely effective. Buttons, braids and embroidery are much used for trimming, and there are many large sashes. Prices $30 to $47.50. i (First Floor.
