After viewing the splendid, complete hssortment in our shops l couldn't understand the need to go. elsewhere to buy one thing-for verify Fifth avenue is at our door.
 Tailored Suit Popular.
 The tailored suit is playing big bart in the spring wardrobe and bids fair to carry it's popularity into the summer months. Navy tricotine is the favored material. Some of the coats are long and some quite short, Affecting a ripple at the. hips. Many hre distinguished by designs in em- broidery and braid.
