increase in buying these last days
show the trend of business impet-
us as we'll as woman's time-hon-
ored desire for new Easter raj
ment. With the first warm days
come the desire to doff the heavy
things of winter and substitute
the new garments of spring. They
are all very lovely this season and
conservative merchants declare
they have never faced the spring
and summer season with a better
and a more complete stock. We
want to tell about some of the
pretty things observed in a tour
of our department stores. In order
to show no partiality we will visit
them in alphabetical order.
One of the new conceits of
spring in the garment department
at the Berry Ball Dry Goods store
is the fringcd hand-tailored skirt
which has been generally adopted
for sports. They have the usual
fine line of suits in tweeds and
jerseys, two and three piece suits,
dressier models in tricotines and
poiret twill, embroidered and
braided, tailored and box coats.
This is a coat and wrap season
and smart numbers in tweeds, polo
cloth, bolivia and roshanara are
among the best sellers. A stun
ming wrap of black vclvette with
lining of Foch blue and trimmings
of fringe, is one of the smart mo-
dels shown. Equally stunning is
a cape suit of Foch blue roshan-
ara. This forms the bottom of
the dress and the short, smart
cape. The dress top is of white,
embroidered georgette.
Then there is a bewildering ar
ray of dainty handmade blouses,
blouses of crepe de chine and
georgette and silks. Canton crepe,
crepe knit, roshanara, and taffeta
are the materials that lead in the
early showing of dresses and they
are fashioned in the new colors,
rust, mohawk, Foch blue and lilac
in addition to the popular browns,
blues and blacks. The Jack Tar
Togs for juniors are proving good
sellers and there is a lively de-
mand for sport sweaters and the
silk step-ins and knickers.
On the first floor everything is
in spring dress even to the new
draperies at the windows and on
entering the store shoppers are
struck with the fine display of
summer wear. Positively the best
line we have ever had" said the
buyer of this department" and
business is beginning to warrant
it. We are featuring all the new
