marvellous quality and nifty designs.
Can you imagine being able to buy
these garments of the incest quality
of radium and crepe de chine,
trimmed with hemstitching, silk hand
work and ribbon roses for $3.50?
There are lovely new silk gowns ga
lore, and some very pretty knickers,
too, at Warren NJ. Crosby's. The prices
correspond to the ones I have quoted
on the teddies, and will fascinate the
most desultory shopper. The. assort-

will be in two or three weeks, so it
would be rather smart to lay away a
few pieces of this lovely silk lingerie

OF COURSE WE ARE ALL getting
out our fall oxfords and heavy boots
and, if they need a few repairs, the
logical thing to do is to take them to
the Evans Rapid Repair shop and
have them fixed up right.
Have you thought, too, what neat
idea it would be to have the leftover
summer shoes cleaned, repaired and
carefully put away all ready for next
years warm weather wear? Then
your shoes will not deteriorate thru
the winter season, and anyway it's
rather a nice thing to do. The Evans

was perfectly amazed when l
stopped at Cranes, yesterday, to see
the rapid growth of the Dennison de-
partment. The display of crepe paper
and sealing wax novelties is larger,
and there are several new teaching
tables Miss Chitwood, the head of
the department, is a talented and most
obliging young woman She will
either take orders for the pretty nut
dishes, favors, place cards, table deco
rations of all kinds, fancy costumes,
etc, or give instructions in making
them.
Special school children's classes
have been arranged for each Saturday
morning from until IL o'clock.
The paper work is taught at Cranes
every day except Thursday. which is
devoted to waxwork, and Friday tho
day set aside for filling orders.
Miss Chitwood is also giving lessons
in decorating wild grasses, milkweed
pods, cat-tails, etc. Really you can't
imagine a more charming winter
bouquet" The new hanging flower
baskets are made of crepe paper
ropes, woven over ice tea glasses. This
is only one of the many attractive and
inexpensive novelties, SO suitable as
gifts that you may learn to make in
the Dennison Department at Cranes.
