There's more real art work on
the fashionable Handkerchiefs
this season than we have ever
known. The cheap, paltry styles
of other days have passed away,
and today the woman OF fashion

some beauties at that figure, but
if you don't want to pay as much
as that we may suit your taste
at $1.25, or there's dozen prices
between these extremes and in
each case the edge of the Hand
kerchief will be of real lace in
