Fascinatingly lovely, bewilderingly
beautiful, no superiative3 would be too
extravagant TO describe the Summer
clothes that fill the shops now, and IL
takes a great deal of character to resist
buying them right and left" as the
saying goes So, in order TO buy them
right and not get left, little consider

new things are most needed and will
prove most suitable according to your
plans for the Summer, and list Of
them to carry with you when you start
out to shop, will go a long way toward

tical and sufficient for your various

tisements they put in the papers this

pastels Tan and sand are two Of the
very fashionable colors, but there are
many others from which to choose.
Among them we find such names as
nile, coral, lemon, orchid, flesh, shallo-
pool blue, royal blue, Queen Marie blue,
goya red. rosy tawn, pansy, mauve and
beige And most indispensable always,
