ENGAGING THE ATTENTION OF
SHOPPERS

In these late July days. when summer costumes
are completed and it is still too early plan for
the fall gown. takes most pleasure in turning
to the dainty accessories of the toilet The thought
Of gloves, neckwear. natty ornaments and novel

comfort of kid gloves when something equally
pretty and far more comfortable is at hand The

summer, but for everyday wear many stylish
women are putting the inexpensive little open

gloved hands this year than during the past two
summers.

There is a marked departure visible in metal
ornaments. Gun metal and oxidized silver are
taking the place of the bright gold in millinery and
belt buckles. But these sombre tints offset
by the increased variety Of color in hatpins and
hair ornaments The jewelled spiral pin is the
latest choice for hats. The wire spirals the
