BEST OF coLoRs IS BLACK
For Evening Wear the Darkest Of
Shades Has Everything to Be
Said In lto Favor.

Have you been thinking about your
evening gown for the coming season?
OF course you have, for what woman
does not vision and decide and
change about and decide all over
again when it comes to the most at
tractive gown Of all the feminine ward
robe? For It is under the soft and
shielding glow OF the evening lights
that beauty IL at its best, all its
charms vivifled end all Its faults
faithfully concealed.
This Is nothing less than q plea in
favor Of the black evening gown. II
you ARE one of those who have failed
to sound the depths of its service and
charm. do not allow another season to
pass over your head without realizing
its powers Of fascination.
