Autumn marks an alertness in the
air, an enthusiam and eagerness for
the crisp, golden days to come. This
Store, anticipating the needs of its
patrons in advance, has prepared an
Autumn Exposition of authentic ap-
parel modes.
Suits Exquisftly Tailored
Abounding in Verve and Charm
Handsome things, every one of them, gorgeously burdened
with a wealth of embroidery and huge collars and cuffs.
Styles vary from the youthful box to rippled lines with the
more conservative belted models leading in popularity, while
fabrics include the twills and the soft-surfaced duvetyn-like
materials. At no time does a woman desire so keenly to be
well dressed as Autumn. A Suit properly chosen will an-
swer almost every purpose.
Frocks are Versatile
So Testify the Numerous Smart Modes
Indeed the mode allows one to be severely tailored or de-
lightfully feminine, and mostly the latter, for it would seem
Fashion could not resist the temptation to be lavish with em-
broidery, iridescent beading, stitchery and all the devices
known to the clever designer. Russian, chemise and redin-
gote lines prevail for frocks in general, while in the more
elegant afternoon gown bouffancy still holds sway. Trico-
tine, twill, duvetyn, velours and a host of new and lovely
fabrics make a delightful task of choosing an Autumn Frock
Wraps Enve»
lop One
with Luxury and Warmth
So delightful and snugly are
the new Wraps—and Wraps
they are in the majority, too,
with a lesser sprinkling of Coats.
Huge collars, waist-length capes
fur trimmings, soft and luxuri-
ous fabrics are distinctive fea-
tures of our large stocks. Stroll-
ing through this section one sees
women already selecting hand-
some Wraps for street, for gen-
eral utility wear, for the dressy
occasion and for motor wear.
In addition to being pleased with
the smart and exclusive styles it is
good to know that the quality, value,
and cost of this new Autumn merch-
andise compares favorably with the
high standards maintained by this
Store.
Fascinating New
Millinery Modes
Where’s the woman who does not look forward with pleas-
ure and anticipation to her first autumn hat ? Fabrics reign
supreme. One may select a youthful off-the-face model,
embroidered with silks and tinsel; soft turbans ornate with
smart allover braiding; or flattering variations of the cloche.
Rich becoming shades of brown predominate.
Popularity of '
Skirts Increases
Time wTas when the separate skirt was
more or less of a makeshift in the ward-
robe, but no longer so, as the dashing
new models will testify. Smartly dress-
ed women are finding many uses, for
these new arrivals, some of which are
plaid, checked or plain. All are some-
what more subdued in color than the
spring models but not in style.
Beautiful Fall
Fabrics
Whatever the costume'need, for the woman
who prefers the individuality of apparel made
especially for her by tailor or modiste, there
is a galaxy of fabrics in silk or wool from
which to evolve all manner of smart clothes.
And while selecting fabrics for the frock,
the suit, the blouse or the wrap an inspection
of this Store’s collection of laces and trim-
mings offer many suggestions when one is
seeking fur-belows that are clever and new.
Patterns likewise are dependable in cut and
authentic in style.
