are intensified when you are
properly outfitted to enjoy them.
Why stick to unreasonable
things when so many opportuni-
ties to buy cool and comfortable
summer clothes abound?
All you need do is to follow the
advertising columns of THE
WORLD.
If it is something in cool and
becoming dresses, waists, hats,
shoes and dainty underwear, you
are sure to find it in THE
WORLD.
If you are man and want
outer and neither wear that will
blow the heat off the perspiring
face Of July, look into the ad-
vertising columns OF THE
WORLD.
If you need cooler things for
the children you'll find them ad-
vertised in THE WORLD.
If it's something for the home,
something to drive out the glare
and bring in coolness, look at the
advertising columns Of THE
WORLD.
Something for everybody,
