- EVER before has Dame Fash
sNI ion assumed so gracious and
~ tactful an attitude. She smil-
> inely offers you some wonder
fully beautiful frocks in lovely soft
I tone and loose weave and keeps q
discreet silence regarding the cost OF
ownership. And you, judging from
iss exquisite simplicity that the prices
are proportionately simple, begin to
calculate the number Of extra gowns
you will be able to afford. When,
however. after long contemplation Of
the bewildering display spread in al
suring carelessness about you, you
finally begin definitely to pick and
choose, you are appalled, and confused
at the exorbitant price of the very
simplest one. Then, after dignifed
withdrawal, you make hasty retreat
to the most silent places of4your own
boudoir to recover and ponder this
serious situation.
But, after a strenuous mental strug-
gle in absolute solitude, our woman's
ingenuity comes galloping to the front
with convincing solution. With the
sum we had planned to buy an entire
new wardrobe, we will purchase one
tailor-made and one evening gown.
With what Is left, new trimmings
and accessories to be used in fresh
ening and Disgusting last seasons
gowns. with the result that we have
not only more gowns, but even pret-
: tier ones than we could sotherwise
have afforded. We have also the de-
1ightful sensation OF having created
something out of nothing, SO to speak.

made Of the goods. The band is
braided IN very marrow silver soutache
and ornamented with passementerie
buttons, which are also used with SIM

bodice and upper sleeves are of silk

snese blouse and braided in the same
design as the skirt. The yoke is of
