Speaking of the Display OF
NelU Easter Fashions

THE NEW gowns and suits are not merely
+ the last word of fashion, being, as they are,
copies and adaptations Of the newest models of
the great French couturiers, but they are as
lovely in color and line as in fabric.
Fashion shows her changes not in the
silhouette, which remains practically the same,
but in a thousand new details-in the arrange
ment of decoration, in the entrancing sleeves,
in the skirt hems in the draperies, in the girdles
and shoulder clasps and side draperies.
r>.: Il But more important than any of these
things are the two facts-fiffst, the dresses are
, exceedingly wearable and, second that the
prices are moderate for SO much beauty, being
