Fashion Demands
Silk

Silks of every description are a. de-
cidedly favored fabric for every style
garment.
Silks today cost very little more
than many of the cotton fabrics and
have so much greater attraction for.
the really fashionable woman. \
Then too, the great variety affords
unusual opportunity for a most salts
factory selection.
They may be in plain colors with a
rich lustrous satin finish, or the more
subdued# spr palmer finish is very
popular: Some are sheer and .aimsy
while others are heavier in appearance
and texture.
Crepes of every description are de-
cidedly in demand in both plain and
figured. The figures range from the
small, dainty floral design to the large
scroll patterns, while some have large
designs embroidered in gold. In the
heavier fabrics plaids, stripes and
checks are wanted.

New Spats
indispensable

Spats are in fashions graces this
season, and they are taking full ad-
vantage Of that fact. Well-dressed
women appreciate the touch of smart
ness and the protection to the ankles
on chilly evenings.
The favored shades are beaver, pearl
and sand.

Corsets

No woman nowadays would think
of doning her new seasons costumes
without first securing a new, fashion
correct corset, designed along the lines
decreed for that season, by the lead
ing corsetiers. The high grade "La
Camille" Corset, fashion correct, and
especially lovely as to materials, trim
mings with it's front shield lace, venti-
lated back, we would recommend to
discriminating women.
Another corset that we, would spec
tally mention is Bon Ton-a high
grade corset that has many friends
among our clientele. The materials
of which these corsets are fashioned,
while medium in weight, are strong,
durable, and comprise lovely coutils
and brooches.
And are you acquainted with Our
excellent corset fitting service? This,
of course, is one of the most import
ant things to consider.

Fashions Finest
Footwear

AS one writer expresses it, Foot
wear has every encouragement to be
beautiful this season." and our initial
showing of the new styles proves that
it is, indeed, beautiful.
Here are shown shoes from the finest
shoe makers-J. & T. Cousins and
C.. P. Ford.
The Oxford Tie is one of the favor
ed models of the season. 1t has a
smart new vamp, giving the shoe a
slender, graceful appearance, which
will be greatly admired.
The favored materials are black or
brown kid, and the lighter weights Of
patent kid. =

Authentic Showing
of the
NEW
Spring
Millinery

Expressing in many a subtle turn of
brim, in odd braids and straws, in flowers
of radiant hues, in stiff wings pertly plac-
ed, in soft, curling feathers so winsone,on
dress hats, in quaint bandeaux and what
not, the intriguing means by. which the
foremost modistes scheme to enhance al
luringly, feminine charms this spring time.
And how successful they have been, is
shown by the ~wondrously charming new
hats now making their initial bow in the
Benner and Begg Millinery Salon.
Hats that have been inspired by quaint
old prints of the "directoire" period, or
%perchance might have been copied from
the canvas Of Watteau-models that
mimic the poke of yesteryear-and others
with altogether new contours exquisitely
fashioned to accentuate the charm of love
ly women.
You are cordially invited to view these
diverting new hats. Benner and Begg

MyUHZA0u1 Me JI1le
Expressing Dignity, Appropriateness, Service

Many Of the best dressed Grand Forks
women, when they see the new fashion sheets,
no doubt wonder if they will be able to get. suit
able garments to wear. A very common expires
sion among women is, ooh, I have lots of clothes
but not much to wear because of the difficulty of
securing practical clothes. Here is where the
Benner & Begg Outer Apparel section comes in.
They make a business of studying the desires of
Grand Forks women and then work with the
manufacturers in modifying and adapting styles
to meet those desires.
Hence, we are ready with gafments-re-
fined, not bizarre-wearable, not impracticable
garments that satisfy and express a high degree
of what the artist calls "ftness-to-purpose."l
