On Monday We Say "Good Morning" to the Christmas Month
',-
fe-
The November Bonfires Alpng
the Park Roadway
with their enjoyable odors of burning leaves will
soon be gone.
Dark-visaged eleventh month with her glooms
and blasts of rain and wind which stripped her trees
bare will take her farewell tomorrow night until
another yearly round.
The eager hunter with his gun (and dog creeps
softly over the tangled fields and up the hillsides in
the early morn in search of quail and four-footed
game with his every pulse beat keenly prepared to
meet each opportunity.
On Monday morning we say good morning to the
Christmas month and begin to portion out to each
day some part of our preparations for Christmas that
it may not dawn on us suddenly and overload the
swift-coming last week of the month.
From next Monday and only until
ii-n i mi I . .11.. in. . i
Ohristmas Eve, the Store will open a quarter
hour earlier and close a quarter hour later.

''Sportsangora

Monday in the Young Women's Salons.

Sofith They Are for Warm or
Cold Climes
For the warm, sunny resorts like Havana, Nassau, Palm Beach
or the Riviera, the "Sportsangora" is combined with the beautiful,
glistening Baronet satin a fascinating combination.
For those who are going North for the sports, for Montreal
and Canada, for our own Lake Placid or Maine resorts, or for St.
Moritz, the costumes are wholly of the soft, warm "Sportsangora."
And if it is golf at Aiken or the Springs which lures you South,
there are suits of "Sportsangora" in rich dark colors and a closer
weave.
Tlie Colors and Combinations Are Bewitching
suits all of white, or of white with gay striped or plaid borders,
collars', cuffs, or perhaps a saucy Tarn, or maybe a wide and fuzzy
scarf. Some jackets are sleeveless some have sleeves.
The suits ax-e $55 to $110; separate sports skirts are $30 to
$45; 14 to 20 year sizes.
And there is nothing like them in Philadelphia!
