bit to part with S29.50.
These French blouses are made of
georgette crepe and crepe de chine,
and of quality that retailed for
about $50 last year. One of navy
georgette is beaded in an oriental de-
sign with red, purple, green and silver.
The American made blouses are very
attractive, too-The ones I like best
are made of crepe satin, beaded elab-
orately and made in nifty styles. Very
lovely ones were for sale at Warren
M. Crosbys for only $12.50-they look
like about $25. A blouse at this price
($12.5O) that admired especially was
in the Fungi shade of brown crepe de
chine, fine quality, embroidered in
brown and gold. with appliqued brown
leather disks and squares.
Some of the blouses at Warren Ms

A yellow stone crepe satin, beaded
with gold is very stunning. 1t is a

be exceptionally good with the auburn
type.
There are loads of lovely new bIouses
of distinctive designs that have arrived

present week, and the shopper will
find. when she sees them, that the
quality and prices are exceptional.

FOR THE first time since the
war general enthusiasm over evening
dresses is being shown. 1t wouldn't be
bad scheme to have one ready and
avoid that distressing last-minute rush
for party dress after you have been
invited to formal dinner, wedding
or dance.
An inspiration is easily found for
evening clothes in the lovely brocaded
velvets, metallic cloths, crepe satins
and French velvets at Pelletier's.
An exquisite material that will
drape wonderfully is the velvet bro
caded on a silk wolfe background in
black, Havana brown, tangerine, pome-
granate, and jade silk wolfe brocaded
in wolfe.
In the shimmery crepe satins at
Pelletier's there are not only the
bright and delicate colors, but also
the street shades.
The French silk velvets of remark

beautiful colorings in Kings blue,
