shImmerIng silks and satIns
The Vile is synonymous for the new
est thing in silks. Cachemire mirage Is
a plain fabric with a dull finish shown
in correct spring shades. Foulards
are'in great favor. This is a trite ,ex-
preston, but is full of meaning when
one looks upon the variety that covers
the counters of the Vile. This SILK,
so old and yet so new, is especially
adapted to the climate of Southern
California. 1t is shown In shower
proof finishes, which are rain repell-
ant: and it comes in such stable quail
tiles that the sun will not crack. nor
the dust discolor 1t. Satin directoire

suitable for prevailing modes, Is shown
in great quantities. 1t is easily draped.

goods cream serges will be very much
favored, made in tailored costumes;
especially fetching are those with black
stripes on white ground. and which
are called yachting effects, just why
will never be known, for they are alto
eether too dainty for anything but ar
ternoon wear.
Black and white shepherd checks are
always stylish and especially so this
season. The suits made of this ma
terial are given an original touch with
pipings or buttons of green, old rose,
or wystaria shades.
Owing to the prevalence OF plain fab-
RIGS trimmings are shown in unusual

sign creations. Something very new is
a colored net, with plain ground and
Persian coloring, reminding one OF the
cld-fashioned Paisley shawl.
The Vile is especially proud OF Its
Infants department, which is now COM
plete with all things necessary for the
comfort of the fodder. Also they
point with pride to the millinery de-
partment, which is smart to the last
detail, and where every new idea and
novelty is represented.
Modesty and Charm in Hats
Fitted up in old rose, with quaint
dressing tables of French patterns, and
Turkish rugs in warm, soft colorings.
the Chic Millinery story at 252 South
Broadway is a retreat for the shopper,
especially on warm day. Modestly and
charm prevail in this establishment,
and the selection of hat in such cool,
inviting surroundings is pleasure and
not a task. The Chic does not cater to
extreme styles, yet invites the patron
age of all buyers by the artistic assem-
bling OF fruits and flowers. A hat from
the Chic is simple yet elegant, carrying
out all the we'll known ideas of color
and arrangement and yet departing
from the stereotyped by embodying
original ideas with prevailing styles. A
word to the wise is sufficient
It's an i'll wind that blows nobody
any good. When Fashion told woman
to chop off her skirt and show her
ankle she also decreed that these same
ankles and feet should be trinity and
correctly shod. So the shoemakers got
busy, and each year the dictum goes
forth: 1.-THE Right Dope on Shoes"
says the Baker Shoe company. at 2S9
South Spring, sis the suede boot in all
shades" This we have known for some
time, but there followed advice that we
did not know. "The ankle strap pump
is the newest new Formerly some
women were unable to wear the pump.
It slipped at the heel and sagged at the
toe The strap does away with all this
inconvenience, and now all well dressed
women will wear the pump. A distin-
gushing feature of the new shoe was
found at the Regal, 302 South Broad
way, in a model with a short vamp,
shorter than anything ever befoi seen
in shoes.
At this store are stunning punps for
girls of 49, and it is doubtful If there
is anywhere to be found a cheaper or
better variety for the particular miss.
