WHAT about your plans for your
w winter frocks? OF course you are
going to include one silk dress. And
maybe you are planning not to buy the
material right now. But on the Other
hand If by doing so you can save
money. it would be worth while.
wouldn't it? One shop-and one of
philadelphia oldest-is having an un-
bclpvablc sale of crepe de chine. The
original price was S4 yard for forty
inch material, and had you seen it at
81 YOU would have never doubted for q
minute that it was worth it. although
you might have felt that it was beyond
your reach. Well. anyhow, now 1t has
been lowered to S2.35 a yard. And |
don't believe there is one color missing
--cvcrything is there. from dark blues
and browns for street wear, to pale
apricot for evening. The crepe de chine
is Of II good heavy quality. and has a
lustrous finish. Why. you could get
enough for whole dress for less than
$40. probably.
And speaking Of nice dresses leads
mo very naturally to the subject Of n
really striking pin to wear with nice
dress. The pin I have in mind is
sterling silver. II is quite round ana
about the size of a quarter. And the
design is Strikiugly contrasted com
bination Of bright dazzling brilliants
and onyx. One glance at one Of these
pins. and you recognize at once that it
is good. They are all shaped the same
but the onyx and brilliants are arranged
in several different designs. The price
is 81 80 and So.
The bags have in mind are among
the most effective and individual YOU
could find in many a days walk. They
are quite large. and would serve for
shopping. for carrying ones knitting,
or just for general purposes. They
are made Of patent leather. and each
! depends from a heavy chain composed
, Of What appears to be large oval black
! beads. And on the front of each are
! richly Coorrd worstcd flowers. For in
/ stance. ono will have a cluster of
! flowers in an odd shade Of pink and n
/ sort of a French blue. and then the
! lining will be pink or blue. The price
! of one of these bags is $6.i5.
