They talk very positively. Women will
wear this and that, and it must be cut
thus and SO, or be behind the times or
outlandish."
81 know il" said Mr.. Silver. Some
times these experts are shrewd enough
to guess what will be worn. Sometimes
they are close enough to the retail trade
to catch the trend Of the feminine mind
at the moment. but you may take IL
from me, who has had many years ex-
perience, that nobody can be sure what
the women are going to wear. No. not
even the women themselves. The femi-
nists have been fighting hard to discredit
the ancient and accepted theory that a
woman's mind is never quite made up,
but see nothing in the dress goods
business which makes me agree with
those who would say. that woman nature
is a bit different today from what it
was in the ages past"

that they no longer need to dread

In Gfandmother's time, when this
period was reached, "a woman sat
back and tried to resign herself to

its own. She was shelved before
her time. But now modern science
has changed that!
A well known Spanish Chemist,
Jacques Romano, has made a re-
markable discovery which removes
wrinkles in 10 minutes.
His discovery, which he calls
Onamor, Is scientific compound
which eradicates wrinkles, tightens
up all flabby places and restores to
the face the lost complexion, and
rounded contours of youth.
The almost magical effectiveness
Of Onamor is due to the fact that
