there will be some activity in shop

for the coming season are just differ
ent enough to compel US to invest
in a new one or look sadly passe.
The same is true Of frocks, for the
lines are quite. new and different.
Most of the gown shops are showing
some new things today, but doubt

little duty while they have leisure
to do so.
I never tire of telling of the ex.
quisite portraits made at this inter-
nationally famous studio. The artists
in charge at Underwood's have some
thing besides skill. l think some
times they have real genius, some
of them, for the portraits which are
consistently excellent often reveal a
delicacy of finish as Elusive and
fascinating as miniature. You must
have your photograph done at I'M
