"Am I Not Fashionably
Dressed?" She Said, and
her friend said, "Yes, but the newest fashions are
not always suited to everybody." ,
To simply take a liking to something new
another lady wears because she looks well in a new
hat or a new coat Qr dress is often the greatest of
mistakes.
Every lady has a different style and a way all
her own of carrying herself which makes up an in
dividuality that she wants to keep and please her
family and friends. When she is making a selection
of what to wear there are many persons in .this
Store who have studied questions of dress and
would be delighted to help her get the best things
to suit her. Sometimes they would cost less if she
only knew how to find them.
If you are a stranger in the City, ask at the
General Office of Shoppers' Assistants and it will
cost you nothing for assistance.

Charming Fall Fashions in
Women's Silk Frocks
IN ONE Little Gray Salon in
the corner near the elevators
are some new silk dresses that
aie well worth seeing. If the
prices were not so plainly
marked you would think you
had read them too small.
Crepe de chine, satin and
Georgette crepe are the mate
rials, and the colors are those
most suitable for the coming
season chiefly navy and black
and a few Copenhagen and
taupe.
