Inexpensive Silk Dresses of Unusual Charm (For Women) These early Autumn days a woman can pick up a wonderfully pretty little frock for an inconsequen tial sum if she keep her eyes about her. Tomorrow brings such an opportunity with this group of dainty silk dresses in the newest styles. Crepe de chine, Georgette crepe and satin and crepe combined are the materials used, and the colors are those most in demand just now wistaria, old blue, navy, black, taupe and brown. Embroidered satins, colored embroidery and fringe are much used for ornamentation, and the effects are in much better taste than you will usually find in dresses at such modest prices. Several of the most striking models show such fashions as loose panel back, waist line with huge girdle and coat dress effect with long tunic. Prices are $19.50 to $27.50.

There are rose, blues, green, violet, gray, brown and black-and-white effects, and it will be easy to match them up with the fashionable sweaters. Many are full box pleated, others are in cluster pleats; all have attractive girdles, usually quite deep. $16.75 to $27.50 and as the manufacturers will no longer take orders at these prices (and in some instances it is impossible to duplicate the fine materials) it is only fair to tell any woman intending purchasing a plaid skirt to do so soon!
