Local gown builders are busy just now
with spring shirt waist suits for such of
their customers as realize that this is the
time of the year to plan that part OF

For The Momen.

They were talking about the newest
visiting girl. It had been decided that
she was pretty chic, with manners IN

the association of cultivated people.
