IN EAR READERS: They're here
~ So early, so ready! The mes
sengers of autumn, the ad.
vancieres of fashion. Yes, there is
certainly no lack of beautiful things
displayed in the shops these days. In
deed the hats, the frocks. the suits,

as this new season opens.

green leaf in springtime. and, we'll, l
could just 60 on raving, but think Of
all these exquisite colors and many
others, and then, with an artists eye,
combine each with another lovely
color tone. and then you'll only get
a faint idea of the artistic beauty Of
Lamond's y new Georgette blouses.
Many of these blouses show a bib
shaped panel in back and front. or a
waiStcoat effect that is decidedly new

gold threads, spotted with iridescent
beads at intervals and silk embroider-
ed motifs. These exquisite blouses
are priced $l075. $3.50 and $l4.50.
The long coats which are now
worn have side slashes which are
bound with ribbon or braid.
