Third street. They ure | however, more than pleasing to the : eye of St. Patrick, more than beauti ful in color, for they are the genuine, j extracts of tlowers, rind the woman j i who uses them can best appreciate them. The Harmony Company of Boston make tbe Intense Violet, Lily of the Valley, white rose offered by! Gorgas' and their fragrance is not ! only lasting, but delightful as well, j The Jacqueminot of Ooty, is a| French extract of unique and fascin-1 ating fragrance, and this too is a lovely shade of green which is most I attractive on Milady's dressing table. Distinctiveness Smartness is in every line of the j new covert suit Just shown by the ' Astrich Store Fourth and Market j street. The coat fits snugly to the j I waistline in the mode most approved by the Paris couriers at their open- j [ings, and at the liips flares decidedly. The cutaway front, with smart button 'trimming, the triangular panel ill the : skirt, and the brilliant green collar j and narrow cuffs are features which 'add distinctiveness to beauty of line. jThis suit is offered for Just $25 —aj I remarkably low price for a finely- j j tailored covert suit of this excellent j , quality. The Xew Shades In Footwear Just the boots to wear with the new I ' Spring suits are those shown by the I Walk-Over Hoot Shop, 226 Market i street, and particularly attractive are i the soft, dull green kid boots just re-j ceived. They are especially smart Iwlien worn with any of the new shades of gray, tan, covert cloths, and j fancy checked weaves. The model is I guest of honor at an informal little dance given last evening by Mrs. Sam uel F. Dunkle, Nineteenth and Derry streets.
