Gay Sports, Stripes
Appear in Silk-and-
Cotton.

One of the new forms these
popular stripes have taken, and
it is a real find to a woman who
wants a cool summer frock with
a fashionable stripe.
Nearly all have a ground color
of rich pongee, and this with a
one, two, or three toned stripe
makes very pretty combina-
ton.
Some are of real awning va
riety, but others come in the
most delicately beautiful tints.
The prices are 99c and Soc a
yard. There are also other sheer
materials in lawns, batiste,
wolfe at 12hc, 15c 25c, and 35c a
