Mems Silk
Handkerchiefs
From England

3 From the number Of such hand
kerchiefs we are selling it would
seem that the American man is
as much in love with colorful silk
handkerchiefs as is his English
cousin.
Just the right touch of color
for the sports suit, and many men
match them in socks and ties.
Women, too, have taken up the
gayly colored handkerchiefs for
sports wear or for use as bags,
table covers, lamp shades and in
many other ways.
The colors and designs are de-
cidedly unique. In the new impor-
tation are many new patterns.
Priced $3.50 to $5 each.

The Paintings
of Jeanes

Mountains silvered in snow,
mountains rose-red In dawn or
sunset glow, mountains shrouded
in mist--it is easy to see the in
spiration Jeanls has drawn from
his beloved Dolomite mountaips.
Not mountains alone, but
"venice, Normandy, the sea-he
understands everywhere the
beauty Of the world"
These thirty paintings. are
unique. They are bold and daring
in line and color. Color is Jeanes'
great medium.
They have the .directness and
simplicity Of mural painting. Set
in a wide space, with the advan-
tage Of distance, they would be
far more striking than in this ex-
hibition. I
And in effect they have the
velvety softness Of pastels.
They are all for sale.
