Notable Part of the City
It has studied the city, her reputation,j$ftr
progress, her growing importance, and it has taken

world, and has gone out to the uttermost parts of the
globe to bring its treasures to this port.
It tore down the buildings of two and three
generations ago and made new buildings from the
ground up for the honor of the city and the
convenience, comfort and safety of the people.
x The Store buildings are a part of our very selves
at your service, please.

Paris ; new American copies of Paris
originals; other gowns and suits de
signed and made wholly in this coun
try. And not only is every one of
them lovely in line and texture and
color, but every one of them is wear
able to the last degree.
Their lines are straight; the
sleeves of evening gowns are short or
utterly non-existent; sometimes they
consist of a few looped strings of
beads, as in the crushed rose dress;
and the necks are distinctly severe:
Afternoon dresses frequently have
very long sleeves. In the sports suits
the coats are long,eaching almost
to the knees. ' iy
An evening gown from Chanel is
a gold lace tunic over black satin ; the
effect is long-waisted.
A distinguished navy charmeuse
has a neck high -and square at the
back, with a V front, and curious
hand-embroidery of grapes and
leaves over the entire garment; it is
' held by a heavy girdle with amazing
tassels. This is from Rowland.
A wonderful gown draped with
net designed'with crushed rose beads
is from Renee.
Jenny sends a navy tricotine with
short sleeves, a Victory red girdle in
three tiny strips and a tulle scarf of
Victory red.
Another Chanel of navy crepe de
chine is embroidered with soft gray medallions. A large rose makes a splash
of color at the neck.
A tunic of white silk, hand-knitted, is intended to be worn over a slip
of china silk.
Among the copies are a white crepe gown with striking embroidery of
Persian character in black ; a white charmeuse slip-on with Victory red beads
forming a line down the back and on the sash ; a semi-evening gown of black
satin with no sleeves but two bands of beads ; a costume of heavy cream-colored
crepe made with embroidered Chinese coat; an evening gown of silver
cloth with tunic of black net and immense jet beads.
Then there is a coat dress of checked taffeta, soft taffetas entirely
"eyeletted" by hand; and many charming sports suits of faille silk and
sweater cloth. '
