have been greatly enlarged to cope
with an ever-increasing trade and the
department buyers have chosen their
stock with an eye to pleasing every

ported and domestic models, and Gre
atoms from the firms own work
rooms, there IL g. very large space
devoted 10 untrimmed shapes and
millinery trimmings. Hats that are
large and hats that are small, simple
and elaborate, all find their place In

The Doubling Thomases are told that
the small hat IL the correct article
for morning and street wear, and the
large, be-plumed affair Is In keeping
with the silk gown and chiffon frock
of the afternoon and evening func-
ton. While the black hat In velvet,
silk and beaver leads all others, there
are still many chic models In colors,
for II ia not every woman who can
wear an all-black hat without detri-
ment to her looks. The trimming
may be anything from tiny rosebud,
or a jeweled ornament to a yard-long
plume or a mass OF marabout. The
latter is one of the "crazes" OF the
season and Is found on hats, dresses
and wraps.

to appeal to the woman who simply
cannot make UP her mind to bother
with the infinite detail of going to a
dressmaker to have gown made

ready-to-don that in the end proves
equally satisfactory as to style, fit
and wearing qualities.

mother could wish for school and
"dress-up" wear for the youngsters
