Once upon time it took one man
three hours and three minutes to
grow a bushel of wheat. That was
entirely too slow. He invented ma
chinery that reduced this consider
ably and he invented more machin-
cry and reduced it still more, and
so on until now that one man pro-

minutes, all because he has the nerve

A Group of New Style

that was so different from any
thing ! had seen previously that
they at once struck my admiration
and stopped.
You can't realize how much
pleasure you derive from shopping
at a store where the salespeople
are courteous and friendly. Al
tho explained to the young lady
that | did not intend to purchase
suit that day, she was neverthe-
less so eager to show me the yari-
GUS new style features and models
that laughingly accepted her in
vitation.
There were any number OF
smartly designed tailored suits
ranging In price from $3.50 to
$40; while others showed the
military influence; and still 9TH
ers limited the riding habit, with
their snugly fitting Jackets fiaring
below the waist and their wide
skirts. OF course, Norfolk models
we're plentiful for those looking
for a suit to give them unusually
long wear. and at the same time
have dash of youthfulness.
What particularly struck my
fancy was the fact that all were
indivldual-either in their mode
of trimming or their style so
that no matter what suit appealed
most, you could rest assured it
was characteristic of the highest
price models being shown in New
York.
| had spent quite some time in
examining this most interesting
display; so after thanking the
young lady, ] passed on TO the
dress section. Most women de-
termine before entering a store
just how much they want to pay
for ready-to wear garment and
was no different. AS ! passed
down one of the aisles, noticed

1t was in this way that I ran
upon the sweetest little dress 1
have seen in many season--even
at twice the cost. 1t was of all
satin, with a great quantity OF
plaits and gracefully falling side
draperies. In the back short
panel OF chenille embroidery ex-
tended from under the collar to a
little below the waistline. To add
the finishing touch, think of soft
rolling collar of beautiful white
satin-and you might picture how
stunning the dress will look. or

Well. at any rate, saw to It
that there was plenty of time to
make the trip without fluster and

of getting just what had deter
mined on these past two weeks
