DELTORl"
The Washington times., 1921-03-13

"Tha wonderful dressl' he cried. How
on earth did you ever get it,"
She walked toward him, slowly. Her gown
was a beautiful shimmering thing Of snowy
white and cleaning silver. Quite plainly,
even to the eyes of a man who knew no more
about women's clothes than most men, it was
a dress for which even the most reasonably
priced modiste would charge many times
more than the Marstons could afford. Finished
artistry was in every line and curve of it.
About it was no slightest suggestion Of the
amateur or the "home made"
1t was instinct with that inde6nable charm
called 'style."
In Marston's mind there was no longer
anxiety as to how his wife would appear at
the Van Rensselacrs. But as she drew closer
a greater and graver doubt took the place Of
the old.
Where had she gotten this dressi
She must have bought it! There had been
no dressmakers about the house, that he knew
And often she had told him how difficult it
was for her to work from patterns. Knowing
the Importance to him Of accepting the invi-
tation had she borrowedi Gone into debt
Sacrificed her Liberty Bonds; -
She read the thought in his eyes. -.
II made it all myself, john" she said.
Every bit of it with my own hands-and

- But ! thought you said making dress
was the one thing you couldn't do, " he STAN
mered,
'eI ,eouldn't till now," she laughed - but
the RELTOR is something new. Really
brand new, John! Any woman can under
stand them. Why, they're exactly like having
great dres<maker at your shoulder telling
YOU stepby step just what to do. You can't
60 wrong, John. They make everything from
cutting to finishing as plain as A, B, Cp'
But the MATERIAL he touched silkeu
fold. "Where did that come 'front.',
II bought it," she said. "And here's an
other thing about those astonishing DEBTOR
patterns, They show you how to use every
inch Of the goods. There isn't the slightest
waste. Why, John, they actually save more
than yard of material compared to the
ordinary patterns. AS . matter of fact this
drcss--ncw material and all-cost me less
than it would to have had the. old silk re-
modelled!''
But the style-the finish ~ he exclaimed.
That's the magic of the DELTOR,' - she
smiled. and the best of it is YOU CAN
DO IT ALL YOURSELFW
