erty of Edward Golf, on Golf lane,

Clever IDEAS
FOR SUMMER.
NOW's The Time TO Buy Ready
Made Gowns.

Now that the summer season Is at
its height, the lines Of hats, gowns,
~parasols, and all are reduced to the
fewest, and the result is simplicity.
Isn't-that always the story?
Almost every seasons opening finds
the m with limited income and
good taste reduced to despair. There
is nothing in the shops that she can
have. That is, nothing that she would
have, that she can..sA a @ae
Extremes Of new styles are every
where that her purse reaches. OF
course, the best shops always show an
avoidance of excuses, but for obvious
reasons the best shops are not her
shops. She must search around among
the others, and her soul faints within
her at the monstrous hats, the over
trimmed suits and dresses, the cheap
gingerbready neckwear.
And this suggests the question, why
is it that the simple unadorned gar.
ments are always the most expensive?
One would think the makers could
save on the trimmings and laces, and
give materials of good quality and
good cut for the same prices that they
sell S1,00o,e0o worth Of coarse lace,
soutache braid that everywhere marks
a suit as ready made, dinky little
bows, gilt and lace motifs, ~soocalied,
that spoil what might have been a
Msce plain collar. To come back to
tho original matter. now is the time
when the summer styles are at their
| prettiest, most tasteful and simplest.
Now is a good time to buy ready made
gowns, both because from now on the
prices will be reduced and because all
the best designs have been copied in
cheaper goods-the best gowns, it can
not be said too often, being simple in
outline and detail, effective because Of
material and cutting.
