MAURICE PHILLIP
HOME FROM EAST

Maurice Phillip, Of Phillips Lady
Shop, returned Sunday from New
York, via Sedalia, whence his wife
and daughter, Celia Jo, accompanied
him home.
Mr.. Phillip has been in New York
and eastern markets for the past
four weeks on Fall buying expedi-
tion, and says the radical style chang
es for the ladies will certainly bring
forth many ordinations from the
fair sex.
Fortunately the war situation
abroad took on its ugly aspect after
the Fall styles had been determined
upon, SO that all well groomed wom-
en- of Mexico and surrounding commu-
nifty need not worry about their prop
err apparel for the coming season.
Partisan styles with their Ameri-
can adaptions, will prevail as usual,
and Phillips Lady Shop is already
showing some advance shipments. It
is quite amusing to hear first YER
diets from some Of our foremost style
critics, only to be followed by ex-
pressions of admiration after the sud
den changes have thoroughly i'm
bued themselves.
Mr.. Phillip predicts that all for
eign fabrics and trimmings will be
extremely scarce later and witness
ed wholesale jobbers buying back for
eign novelties from retailers.
