stunning long flowing sleeves of Kelly
(green) georgette crepe handsomely
beaded. This frock simply begs for
youthful arms, trim ankles and come
hither eyes.
A handsome dress quite sedate, is
fashioned of dark blue Roshonara
crepe embroidered in blue and gold
The design of the dress is artistically
simple. It hangs from the shoulder
in straight lines, relieved by a sash.
The front forms an overskirt slit in
the front and faced back by hand with
wide bands of the material. The
sleeve is the newest fashion, long, slit
at the side and put into narrow cuff.
An all black dress of dignity, yet a
little dash, is one of canton crepe. 1t
has the long waistline. the blouse is
slightly full and a narrow sash gives
an easy line about the hips The sim
pie skirt is sbedecked at either side
with a paned beaded all round with
Jet nail heads. These panels hang
several inches below the hem Of the
skirt. Other beading on the frock is
also of the jet nail heads.
A handsome semi-tailleur is of
black duvetyn with a slight touch of
scarlet judiciously used at the throat.
The cuffs, and even the buttons and
tassels have a, dash of red. The long
tunic is held together at the sides with
narrow straps of the material and
silk fringe.
Every dress I have mentioned is
really one of distinction and well
worth the time for seeing them at the
w. w. Mills Company store.
PRETTY IS. that pretty does" is
truthfuIly said regarding a woman's
appearance. So much of it lies with
woman herself if her appearance is
to be attractive. She may have good
features, but If her face is shiny, 1t
loses most of it's charm, and SO need
lessly. The day has passed when it
was considered bad form to carry
along the identifying powder.
The Dorm compacte powders are of
excellent quality and can be secured
flesh tints at Stansfield's in either the
small or large sizes.
Dorm powders have had a we'll mer-
tied popularity. There is a new ivory
box that is just the right size for the
large DORM compacte powder. This
cake, by the way, is far more econom-
ical than the small ones. The box
wears out and becomes shabby tho,
before the powder Is more than dent
ed so the new ivory boxes at STAINS
fields are both pretty and a great
help in prolonging the life of the cake
of powder. They are convenient to
carry and look well on the dressing
table.
In comparison to the silk covered
boxes they are quite inexpensive (only
a dollar each) and will never become
worn or shabby.
! You see that dollar can be profitably
spent for an ivory Dorm box, at
Stansfield's.
