The Style Will Be for the Season

You can guess as we'll as we. 1t looks now
as though the blouse effect in suits would be
the most popular as they certainly are the
most becoming to-the average female figure.
Various Elton and skirt coat effects are shown
and las always) the tight fitted waist with
pretty skirt has its admirers. In skirts, while
founces of all kinds are good and will be
popular with the masses the 9 to 15-gore
skirts with tight hips and decided flare at
bottom are bound to be worn by well dressed
women. Unlined skirts with separate silk
drape If desired) will take the lead and in
these we shall have an infinite variety.
Examines and canvas cloths will doubtless
supplant the taffeta for light weight dressy
skirts and suits. Now you know all we do
and perhaps it isn't much, but the results of
weeks of our labor are here for you to pass
upon.

entire attention of the spring season

silk garments for outer wear as the high
