New Styles
of the Season

The styles of the coming sea-
son are so varied il would seem
that every taste could be salts
fed. Sport styles are being
greatly emphasized and no
doubt there will Dc a popular
trend in this direction.
Aside from the sport gar
ments such as tweed suits. and
the palmer sport coats, there
are the more dressy wraps
made from beautiful new ma
terials in the loose wrappy
styles with large flowing
sleeves and collars of medium
width. Then the strictly tall
ored suit with long coat lines is
sure to be much in demand for
the better dressed woman.
Skirts in stripes ana plaids are
also being worn this season.
The new Partisan fashion
books now to be seen in our
tailoring department will give
unusual opportunity to select
STYLES of individuality which
are best suited TO your taste

Cleveland, July 13-And now a

the portals of Ohio's highest court
and asks the men now occupying
that august bench to draw their
robes closer around them and make
room for the first representative of
the sex that has begun to taste the

ernment.
This woman is Judge Florence E.
Allen, of the Common Pleas Court
of Cuyahoga County. with much
creditable work upon the bench to
her credit. Miss Allen, however, is
not making her campaign upon the
basis of sex, but on merit, and
while she expects the almost solid
support of Ohio women she counts
also upon receiving the votes of
thousands of men. Upon her COM
