IN THE STORES

THE PALAIS ROYAL has a scheme to
induce the selection of new autumn
gown tomorrow. According to today's an
ncuncement. 100 suits are to be distributed
at the first cost of the making. The claim
is that with these 100 suits being perambu-
lated through the streets of Washington
more than one thousand women will be in
duced to make inquiries. and end by pur-
chasing at the Palais Royal. OF course,
the success of the scheme will depend much
upon the suits. If they are all that IS
claimed for them the complimentary dis
tribution of 100 should result In inquiries
for more than LOO others, The question
is: VIII those who purchase after the 100
suits are distributed be willing to pay the
considerable higher prices that are TO be
asked?
Judging by the illustrations on the Palais
Royal page, the new suits are unusually
graceful and faithfully mirror the new FASH
at home and abroad. The feature in all
OF the new styles is the increasing length
of the coat. The approved lengths are
from SO to ia inches.
The autumn dress for the home Is also an
important factor at this time Today's
