EOR the Business Woman.

EOR the Business Woman.
u A very busy little Business per-
son whom / met, on the street the
other day inquired plaintively: "Oh,
Polly, where shall find some good
looking clothes for Office wear? I've
only an hour at noon and it's such a
little time in which to shop. Won't
you please look around and tell us
Business Women in your Sunday col
umns what you've seen for us in the
shops% I promised | would, and be-
low is the result of my investigation:
TIL begin with SUITS. The
= Business Woman who requires one
sturdy suit will find satisfaction
in choosing one from the splendid
array of man-tailored garments at F.
w. Thorne's Uptown Shop for Wom-
en-, 1872 Farnam St. It's surprising
what snappy styles they are showing
in moderate price merchandise. For
instance, there's clever belted model
of that Standby" color, navy blue,
in Burella cloth, for only $2475-
really remarkable suit for the price /!
This same model also comes in the
new approved shades of beet-root,
Hunters green and walnut. There
are two extremely stylish trench mod
els in checked velour--one gray and
green, the other gray and blue, for
$3.50. My, but they are good-looking
and nothing could be more practical
for service. Besides these, there are
many other varied and delightful
styles which cannot fail to please the
Business Woman who wishes ito look
the part"
THEN seooted around looking
L for BLOUsEs, and at the same
shop I found some plaid and
striped taffeta blouses which are
tailored in appearance and not
gay in color, but those lovely, soft,
subdued. shades which bespeak per
feet taste" for the Business Woman.
Some of these have the new high col
lar effect and neatly finished cuffs.
They're priced $5.45. For times when
dressier blouse is required there
are lovely dark Georgettes in every
shade to match the new Fall suits for
5000 up, at F. w. Thorne's.
A LITTLE talk about watches Is
"A timely. If you're a busy wom-
an you count every minute worth
money. You must depend upon
your watch to do so many things
for you in an allotted time. AT
Arnold H. Edmondston's Pretty
Jewelry Shop, I'd Floor Securi-
ties Bldg, they have wrist watches
which are not only as dainty as can
be, but are dependable as we'll. These
can be purchased on the easy pay
ment plan, making it possible for
even the business girl on modest SAL
ary to have one for her very own.
THE crowning achievement to a
l. woman's appearance is hat built
on correct lines. The tailored hats
I saw in Benson & Thorne's Millin-
cry Department are really lessons in
effective simplicity. They show what
may be done to sailor or walking
hat to give it distinctively different
air--straight, rolling and tip-tilted
brims, stiff or soft crowns, chin-chin
or turban effects; but all appropriate
for their intended use-to wear with
the smart "tailleur." When you visit
Benson & Thorne's Opening on I 1ues-
day don't fail to see THE HATS.
THE one-piece dress holds an inn
l. portant place in the wardrobe OF
every we'll attired Business Woman.
The smart Simplicity of the serge
frocks shown lat Lamond's, I'd Floor
Securities Bldg, recommend them
especially to the woman who desires
style as we'll as serviceability. Blue
serge, which is always satisfactory, is
used in some very charming models
One which I especially admired had in.
sets of biscuit colored serge in stripes
which were hidden by 6-inch box
plaits. Beet-root, Hunters green and
mode shades are also shown in this
unusual collection of Autumn dresses
-
CHLOE news. I asked Mr.. Rush
- Winget of the Boot Shop Of Ben
son & Thorne's to show me some
boots which were modish and at the
same time within a price that the
average Business Woman could af-
ford. I was astonished at the beau-
tiful boots he showed me for $500.
Walking boots in tan, cocoa brown
and black Russia calf and kid-some
with Marine cloth tops to match and
having the 1H-inch strolling heel,
flexible welt and hand-sewed soles-
in height, 81 and 9 inches. He pro-
duced dressier model for 5000 in all
the new Fall shades, with kid COW
cred Louis heels. 1t would certainly
add grace to feminine foot. 'a
