LADIES' WATCHES

There was a time when professional hum Orists used to say that fountain pens and ladies' watches should be la beled: Shake We'll Before Using" Today, however, the feminist move ment is strongly apparent in the mech anisIn of Ladies Watches and they no longer require vigorous physical ex- ercise to set them going. We are showing a, large range very beautiful Cha1elaine and Hunting Case Watches with the finest Swiss and American m movements, which guarantee to be every whit as reliable as their buIkier brethren. Some are of wafer -thinn ess with gilt or silver dials. The Hunting Case models have engraved and engine turned cases in a number of delicate scroll designs Less expensive are Gun Metal and Sterling Silver Chat elaine Watches, which we specially recommend for girls. They are ex- tremely serviceable and attractively finished.
