The C0i0rs Are

brown. and soberer navy

plain organdies there are
exquisite frocks fashioned
from imported hand-em-
broidered robes. exception

The variety in styles of
sashes and girdles is end
less, ranging from sedate
black velvet ribbon TO
saucy, floating bow-ends of
tulle. or to rows of cunning
organdie roses indicating
the long waist-line.
Many. too. are the dotted
swisSes, which run so close
with the organdies in the
race for popular favor.
The colors. dark, light or
bright, with the tiny white
dot, run the whole fashion
able gamut, from jade green
to brown.
Great is the choice among
the different simple be-
coming styles, nearly all,
however, showing in some
form the dainty collar, cuffs
and vestee of dainty white
organdie or batiste, tucked,
hemstitched or lace-trim-
med; and there is frequent
combination of white or
candle with the colored
swiss.
Ginghams are trium-
phantly fashionable as ever
-glorified ginghams one
might fairly call them, they
are made so charmingly and
with such exquisite care;
but that care is all for the
simplicity that doth become
a gingham frock, and the
charm is in the fine quality
of the goods, the variety in
the styles and the novel
touches-the smart tucks
on one, the trimming of
wool embroidery on an
other, that of square bound
vandykes on still another.

Wdnamaker Fashions
Are Dependable

Our Paris office keeps us
in touch with every change,
every new idea or pronun-
ciamento of Dame Fashion,
up to the current mon Mt.
Our fashionable custom
ers say it's a comfort to
look around and to choose
in an establishment where
one feels equally safe from
freaks prematurely coun-
tenanced and from "ol-
timers" lingering like Sum-
mer's last rose on the SEEM.
Summers first roses are
irresistibly suggested by
the array, wonderful in its
abundance, its variety and
its loveliness, of fresh, new
Summer dresses in the
Women's Salons.
Description in detail is
impossible, for the dresses
whisk in and out too fast,
and not many, even in a

which is part of their
charm.

rTHERE are two ways for
a woman to keep in
q touch with all that is
latest and most attractive
in fashions.
One way is to see the
fashions. Another - even
more pleasure-giving-is to
wear, as well as see them.
One can do either or both
by visiting Wanamaker's.
Some say there is no bet
ter place for it.
These days the great
Store is athrong with visit
ors whom the Salons of
Fashions, all ablossom with
the newest and prettiest
Summer outergarments for
women and young girls,
draw as irresistibly as the
bee is drawn to the heart
of the rose.

Summer Trunks Are
Being Packed

and the needs of the Sum-
mer wardrobe are revealing
themselves.
For some of our guests
the magnet of attraction is
the Little Gray Salons of
Millinery, on the Second
Floor (Chestnut).
For the girls just freed
from school and college, en-
ioying the city sights and
the thrill of shopping, it is
the Young Women's Salons,
Just a short distance away
on the same floor; and for
women, the Salons of Fash
ion that take up the whole
Central Section of the First
Floor.

nearly the whole West

"Such q place for seeing

Yes, the BACKGROUND and
the manner of display give
each dainty blouse, each

skirt or airy-fairy bit of
millinery or bright Summer
sports jacket or sweater, an
opportunity to do itself JUS

critical examination which
is the business basis of all
sensible shopping.
