cloth, or novelty weaves, or bolivia of fine camel’s hair, and in all the
fashionable brown and tan shades as well as other Spring colors.

Fashion for Spring
When they are made of the lighter-weight furs, the fashionable stoles

warmth without being bulky, and they are a smart finish to one’s suit or
costume.
Some of the new furs are quite

There is the lustrous deep, Hud:on seal (dyed muskrat), the soft gray

Between $12.75 and $ 0 there is an unusually good assortment of
little Spring coats—coats of sturdy tweeds in Spring-like mixtures, of soft
wool velours, of dark blue serges and other Spring fabrics in atfractive
colorings.
Usually the coats are simply made, in styles best suited to little girls
and boys of two to six years, but there are coats suitable for play as well
as coats for better wear in the collection. Some have linings throughout,
too.
Staw hats to wear with the coats are in tailored styles, and are most
often trimmed with ribbon bands and bows and go from $3 to $6 each.

Especially good at the prices are the blue serge suits at $16.50 and $18.
Suits of as good and reliable a kind are very scarce at these prices.
