COST OF TIES.
The cost Of ties is az first sight fabu-
lous. But YOU must select a few OF them
and add 90 them with home made arti-
clcs. The Roman ties you can make az
home by purchasing three yards of broad
silk Roman ribbon. Fringe out the ends
and IF the fringe rs not heavy enough
buy a few fingers Of. silk fringe and sew
81 on the tie. This tie at the counter
would probably cost s.. but at home you
can make II up for $l.50
There are few more attractive count
ers just now than the neckwear count
ers. The dealers have way this spring
of maAug everything attractive % the
face For the classic nOsed girl there is
the stiff satin tie, for the girl of irresu-
lar features there is the soft chiffon
bow: for the brunette there is scarlet
and yellow; for the pale bloade there is
dccp green and deep blue For the
white-haired woman there are soft grays
and soft creams and for the woman in
mourning there is an immense variety
OF black and white goods. All must be
suited.

summer campaign 20 buy your summer
ties by the quantity. u is wise 20 pur-

Every woman at the beginning Of the
