Whatever cause of Thanksgiving may
occur to the American man at this sea-
son of gratitude-whether financial
political, or sentimental-the heart of
the American girl thrills with thank
fulness for the pretty gowns in her
wardrobe and the picture hats in her
band-boXes. There are gallant gentle
men who have been quoted as saying
that their greatest source Of thankful
ness is the American girl herself, but
one trembles to think what that same
winsome maiden would be without the
art of the milliner and the modiste. 1t
might. therefore, be more correct for
both the admirer and the admired to
turn their thoughts in grateful mood
toward the makers and designers OF
line clothes. For herein lies the very
source of JOY to both.
If were to choose what I'd rather be
than a football champion on Thanks

looking American girl with lots of cash
and a good milliner. What creations"

doubt, be better than the kicking hero's
broken nose and chrysanthemum wig,

The things that woman c, buy in

such is the consideration as we'll as the
wisdom Of the dealer, that he has pro-
