In the Young Women's Salons
Some perfectly fascinating now frocks have just been lifted
from their tissue wrappings and wc decided (and you will, too!)
that each was lovelier than the last, as they camo to light.
A charniing little white Georgette frock of delicious simplicity
is quite round as to neck, short of sleeves and has side draperies of
filmy, lovely lace. It might bo used for a dinner frock or a party
dress or a graduation gown.
Of French blue taffeta, shimmering and springlike, is another
dress' with V neck, short sleeves, quaint ruchings of the taffeta and
a dash of color By way of a velvet rose tucked in at one corner of
the bodice.
Of a woodsy brown, with a glint of gold lace beneath, is a
charming net dress which has a very wide satin girdle and a most
Japanesy bow in the back.
And 11 most bewitching party frock is of a color hard to describe
because the orchid satin beneath and the colored lace over it com
bine in a charming shade.
Anything more girlish and lovely than the new shell -pink
Georgette, which has many pleats, short sleeves and very little
trimming, would be difpcult to find.
But sec them for yourself!
$98 to $165 and 14 to 20 year sizes.

It is the usual thing. This time we have tried to do the usual thing in as unusual a
way as we know how, and from this distance it seems pretty certain that the result will
be something wonderful. At least it will be something of extraordinary advantage to
everybody who has a home or an apartment, and an interest in the same.
There will be three days of inspection Thursday, January 29th; Friday, January
30th, and Saturday, January 31st. , Orders will be accepted on any one of these three days,
all such to be entered as dating from Monday, February second.
A Good Word
Regarding
Upholstery Fabrics
Everybody who tried to have
furniture re-covered or draper
ies made last year discovered
that there was a great short
age of materials.
Many of the goods thut should
have conic then are arriving
now and they are at last ear's
prices. Just at this time, too,
tho work can be done in our
factory at very short notice.
Later, when the Spring orders
come in, it will take longer.
