All these lovely, shin

which are SO light and
cool and pleasant to
wear, and in which you
look your best at all

Of all these tub silk ma

the superb satin-striped
jersey silks, costing SO

the most beautiful of
blouses, dresses and
shirtings.

And if you haven't

way to describe their

The texture has, ike
all jersey silks, the rich
feel that cream would

satin stripes, wide or
narrow, are like rays of
silvery moonlight, the
colors-rose and pink
and salmon and gold and
turquoise and emerald

a melting softness and a
trueness which look as
if Nature had opened
her heart and lent some
body the pot of colors
she uses in painting her
