Smart travellers returning from
Europe tell us that you find chic
women who frequent the theater
and fashionable restaurants there
wearing very long earrings and
unusual bracelets and necklaces.
These same travellers are finding
those very things in a beautiful
varied display at Mr.. Fosters Re-
membrane Shop. The glorious
part of it is that the prices at
Fosters are more moderate than
those that are boosted to the
traveller over there.

Your costume is only as smart
as your coat, hat and fur.
Like dresses and gowns of this
season, their styles have changed.
The length of the coat or wrap
is either of two-it may be the
three quarter one, which allows the
dress to hang gracefully below, or
it may be full-length, which COM
pletely covers your outfit beneath.
Coat fashions are many-some
flares, some capes, fitted waists
and seams which make their lines
do many tricks to the appearance
of the figure.
Hats reveal the forehead. and
show fancy decorative touches dis
tinctly feminine.
Furs are luxurious and fine. We
might add that M. Pasternak
himself selects every petit in every
scarf and coat here-and that CONF
parison proves it is to your hnan-
cial advantage to buy here.
