FASHION SHOW" A
SOCIETY EVENT

Mr.. w. A. Florence, that always
progressive and o-the-minute
merchant, treated the ladies of Mari
eta to a Fashion Show" on Monday
afternoon that would have done Gre
dit to Atlanta!
The second floor Of the w. A.
Florence large and elegantly stocked
department store was attractively de-
corated, with pedestal baskets of
pink roses, and latticed arches, en-
powered in pink roses and vines, rows
of comfortable seats were arranged
for the throngs of callers, and Vic
trola music was enjoyed throughout
the afternoon.
Mr.. Nathan, of New York, was here
to put on a display Of COED dresses
''For young women and women who
want to stay young" which certainly
includes the entire feminine popu-
lation!
Those charming young society
buds, Misses Sadie Sibley, Christine
Blair, Christine McCollum, and Do
rothy and Elizabeth Stephens were
the living models on which these de-
lightful frocks were displayed, their
appearance naturally being the fea-
ture of the occasion.
Arlong the bewilder;ng array of
exquisite frocks were noted fine
checked ginghams, in red and white,
blue and white, and lavender and
white. Other favorites were of dot
ted Swiss in dark blue, brown, red,
black, with embroidered white
dots.
Stunning sports dresses of white
Roshanara deliberately embroidered
in Burnt orange silk, were very be-
coming to the youthful wearers, who
looked equally well in stylish cos
tunes of rose, lavender, and yellow
ratine.
The beautiful hats worn, approprl-
ate to each costume, were furnished
by Miss Kersey, the clever millinef
at Florence's. One attractive model
was a large rough straw of brilliant
red, self-trimmed. A Jardine model,
from New York, was large black
Milan straw, trimmed in uncurled
white ostrich feathers. Another Jar
dine model was piquant shape in
Alice blue lace, adorned in pink and
white flowers. A favorite model for
wear with the cotton dresses is the
Sailor, in various shades.
The ladies of the town would be
Glad to rise enmasse to vote OF
thanks to Mr.. Florence and his able
and courteous co-worker, Mr.. Grady
Conway, for these fascinating Gimp
SEES of the very latest fashions from
New York, and to Miss Lizzie Gar
risan for her unfailing interest and
courtesy. Much credit is also due
Mrs. Conway, whose keen interest IN
her fathers business is shown by her
personal supervision of the store S
eyer-changing but always beautiful
window displays, and the numerous
artistic plans and arrangements she
originates. Mrs. Conway has ex-
auisite taste, and has always been
noted for her style.
