NO need OF worrying now about beng the

you be the last to lay the old aside?
VIII you, when everything is now ready,
when there is much in this store that is new
TO claim your attention?
Ihe season begins to urge you on noW---soon

more elaborate and more beautiful than we're ever
spread before the women of Atlanta.
What pleasure is in store for the woman in
search or a suit! 1t seems agreed that the suit
fashions this season are more charming and more
becoming than ever---there is greater variety,
greater latitude! What more does a smart woman
want than this freedom of selection that she will
enjoy here?
There are literally hundreds of styles here and
each one-we would emphasize this---here by
right of merit. They integral parts; were
they lacking, completeness would be lacking.
Is there any need--or possibty---of telling
you of the marks of these new Styles of the new
the new Robesperre collars, the new braidngs

Fortunatel> it is rot our words about them

fail to such display of all that is in suits?
Certainly not she who is in the least interested in
