Buying Cheap Clothes Is the Kind of

There is no economy in buying CHEAP

er more real enjoyment and keep her
looking trim and neat more than any
other sort of costume. There Gre
many women who think that the fussi-
ness OF a gown tells the story OF the
money spent better than the natty
tailor suit. These women spend their
little all on the accessories, leaving but
little to buy the foundation and pay
the dressmaker. The material is cheap

A woman frequently has 70 wear the
same suit more than one season, and
