While the costumes are not "loud" in color tones, there's a magnificent elegance in the ensemble of fabric, trimming and tailoring, that may appropriately be termed as above. There's the evidence of much thought in the designing, much care in the making, much ingenuity in the draping, much originality in the trimming, much newness in the fabrics and much goodness in the linings. They've lately arrived, and they are mostly one of a sort, especially in the matter of cut. Wilkes-Barre women appreciate this, for they demand exclusiveness in their cos tuming. All fairly priced some of them as inexpensive as $11.98. Women's Neck Pieces Fresh arrivals weekly keep the tock always bright, interesting and full of novelties.
