In fact, I can't begin to tell you all the

THERE'S to be real Fashion Show,
L with real mannikins and real costumes
that are said to be very stunning, at the
"Near New Shop" beginning next Wednes-
day at 500 Chestnut street. The shop,
which is under the direction of Mrs. Billie
Clothier and a committee, 10 to continue
all through the week. and will open at IL

Of course, there will be secondhand fur
niture for sale and picture and book de.
partment, jewelry, and a vanity fair booth
and all those interesting things and little
hat shop, in addition to the Fashion Show.
And I've heard that prominent dressmakers
have given a number Of sample gowns to
be exhibited by the models and the milli-
ners are doing the same thing. So you
see it will be quite the spring opening. Mrs.
George Dallas Dixon, Jr., has charge of
the Fashion Show And one of the most
important features of the whole affair is
that it's for the social service department
Of the Polytechnic Hospital
CPEAKING of good-looking clothes, have
~ you seen that stunning moleskin cape
that Mrs. SDobson Altemus Is wearing? 1
saw her yesterday getting out of her car
on Chestnut street, and she looked as II
she ought to have early Spring Fashion
Number" written over her head. The
cape comes all the way down to her feet
and has a dark fur collar. Her hat was
black velvet, one of those tip-tilted affairs
that Mrs. Altemus wears so WE'LL and of
course she had on veil with it. Her
dress-I just caught glimpse Of 1t as she
crossed the street-was dark blue serge
with embroidery in gray on the skirt.
Mariof, efoulmin is wearing an awfully
becoming sport suit Of tan, with a sailor
hat to match, and light furs. She always
has such an "out -doorsy" look and sport
styles are just right for her.
IF ONLY we would stop to think Of the
Impression we make on others perhaps
there might be times when we would not
appear so foolish as we sometimes do.
After which ambiguous remark I will pro-
ceed. / stopped in to look at hats on
Wednesday, which you will admit was a
remarkably strange thing for a woman to
do these spring days, now wasn't it? Any
how, be that as it may, stopped in. and
in the shop was a young woman, a recently
married young woman, though would not
accent the young very greatly; how
ever, neither was she old, though she was
old enough to know better, for she tried on
every hat in that shop and kept do not
know how maLy customers waiting, while
saleswomen waited on her evidently ex-
pecting her to buy the place out.
Then she smiled very sweetly and re-
marked to the tired woman who had SO
graciously showed her everything: II
guess I had better not decide. You see, my
