uncomfortable in between seasons when
the closing seasons stock is at low ebb
and the new fail goods have not yet
put in an appearance There are almost

BILE purpose. they tend to keep up the
interest Ut che shopper and al the same
time make a place for the new goods
which viii soon be putting in an ap-
pearance.

the shape of velvet skirts to wear with
separate waists They are decidedly
new and look as though they would
wear a lifetime but they are not really
