ionable new weave and coloring
is here, and Philadelphia's bes.
stores >cannot offer better silk
values than you will find here.

New Style
Fall Coats
For Women

Cut in long, clinging, grace
full lines with broad or narrow
lapels, splendidly tailored and
handsomely trimmed in fancy
braid and button effects. But
then we can't describe them,
and do justice to their beauty;
come and see for yourself.
But one thing is certain:
There are no newer or prettier
styles in Goats for fall and
winter. This is Wilmington's
most representative showing
of the new models for this sea-
son.
They are made of desirable
materials in heavy ami medium
weights. The color mixtures
and shadings are decidedly
new and novel-very attract
i've and becoming. But come
and see them, inspect them at
your leisure-buy or not, you
are cordially welcome.
