mings and the marvellous tailoring
combine to place them a little ahead
of anything else in our regard. We
may expect to see our streets filed
with women so well outfitted that it is
pleasure to look at them.
All those velvety, luxurious look
ing materials that are soft and pill
able and that seem to show colors at
their best, are at hand for designers,
and seem to have inspired them. Lines
are conservative and pleasing and
there is sufficient variety In styles. Furs

great discretion on the new suits.
