Ny Very Dear Friends:

the multitude of worries with which
we've had to contend? Ofall times
in the year Christmas should be
the time for carefree joy expression
The shops, finging all dull re-
! preston to the winds, are displaying
the richest and rarest of gifts. Now
is the time for each one of us visit
ing the shops for inspiration, to
plan the gifts, emphasizing art and
utility, which best fulfill our gift
ideals.
Let's also reflect our joy in our
clothes, Bright colors in rich
fabrics have been chosen in the fash
ioning of the oddly charming, in
dividual lines of the garments this
season. Never have the shops
shown models more satisfyingly
varied.
Tell me what you've imagine
yourself in, let your secret desires
run riot, and I'll almost promise to
find for you just what you have
planned.
My dears, I might even say moth
ing is impossible!

Lavish Embroideries Enhance the
Gown for Afternoon.
rs all in the making you know,
L that incompatible charm that
makes some, frocks individual in
their lure! Quite wonderfully have
the French designers demonstrated
their ability to give unusual touches
to the models flowing from upder
their fingers. Blacks, silks, satins,
jerseys, embroidered in wool and
soft one-toned silks, steel beads or
long jet beads, lavish stitchings in
gold threads, frocks with bodice of
all over design in shadow embroi-
derry, or long lacey cobwebs half way
down sheer georgette party dress,
One shimmery party gown of
creamy yellow, has brown and gold
yarn buttercups up and down and
all around" If you can't find just
the design you'd like for your frock,
"let Polly do it." And I'll tell you
what she'll do. Run right up to the
Ideal Button & Pleating Company,
308 Brown building, tell them what
your gown is like and ask for their
artful advice. Or if time is pressing,
she'll take their book, which she has
close at hand on her desk. and find
something pretty. Wouldn't you
like to have one of these books?
They tell all about pleating too. 1t
is wonderfully good this year you
know.
Slim, Straight and Tailored.
H'UR luxuriously appears on many
L hitherto injured spots-of the
suits which they are offering this
week at very great reduction in
price, at Herzberg's Women's Tog-
gerry, 1917 Douglas street. There
are many lovely styles to choose
from, all of them new and all of
them different. As l cuddled my
chin in the shawl collar of Hudson
seal which enhances the beauty of a
charming blue suit, imagined how
pleased you'd be with the long grace
full lines of this little suit, and the
becoming richness of its fur. A
green velvet with gold lining and
whimsically cut yoke in the back,
giving its lines a decidedly different
effect, will be just the thing for the
woman who has furs! A beaver
coatee would be tres charmant with
it.
Skillfully Designed Corsets.
= CIENTIFICALLY designed to
~ accentuate the smart new
straight lines are the corsets which
Mrs. d. A. Hill, expert corsetiere,
designs and fits in her rooms at
205 Neville building. Large bust,
large abdomen and the bullying
thighs may all be corrected today
with corrective corset. Mrs. Hill
has done expert corseting for the
past eight years under the direc-
ton and supervision of leading sur
geons and doctors. If you'll send
her description of yourself, with
accurate measurements, she will
carefully advise you how best to
remedy your troubles f.
