Bewitching New Sports Coats
Just Here From Paris
It was only a little oer a month ago when our representative
was in that wonderful city of France, selecting these things.
There was ne butter, no sugar and fuel was scarce; the streets
were crowded with men in khaki and the echo of the Great War
was still sounding yet Mademoiselle Paris was working fast
and furious to maintain her supremacy in fashion.
These sports coats are among the most charming of the new
modes". They are of a fine qualjty of artificial silk which is even
more lustrous than real silk, and the colors ! There are seven
models, each in different colors, and any woman who gets one of
these coats need have no fear of seeing a duplicate on some other
woman soon, as there is only one of each kind and coloi.
Prices aie $60, $65 and $75.
Also some beautiful coats of jersey wool in navy, taupe and
wine at $50.
