WHY DO GIRLS
BUY PARIS
COPIES?
Times Fashionist Tells
Reason For Their
Popularity
By WILMA LA WILLIE

WHY all this talk about
w copies of Paris dresses"
you may ask, for the papers
are full of them, fashion au-
thorities write about them and
refer to them daily.
There are many reasons why
women buy Paris copies. and
stores exploit them. In the
first place. Paris originates
practically all fashions. Every
season thousands Of American
designers and buyers go over
to the openings for ideas and
for clothes to copy. They are
rushed back and copied in
their entirety, or details from
them are applied to practically
all the clothes that are not
exact copies.
You can always depend on
good Paris copy to be perfectly
balanced as to line, harmonious
In color If it is in the colors
Of the original, artistic in de-
sign. and in perfect taste.
Moreover, If you buy q copy
from a recent opening you
can be sure it will stay in
fashion longer than anything
else you can find. If there's
any doubt in your mind as to
what is good, ask for a Paris
copy, and you will be sure of
something smart.
OF course. many people shun
the idea of copies because they
think they are expensive, but
we've found a group Of excel
lent replicas, many in the
colors of the originals, at SIS.
They fit well. hang smartly,
and embody all the important
fashions and details of the
season. They include silk
/. jacket suits. lovely chiffons for
afternoon and evening. vari-
Gus types of street frocks, and
many other important modes.
We're sketching three of
these frocks. all bearing The
name of the Paris designer o.
couturier that made the origi-
nal. AS you can see, they're
extremely smart and attractive
and when you remember the
price. within the reach of
nearly everybody.

DON'T think for a minute
~ that it's only clothes and
accessories that have the en-
semble-or going together
idea. The idea for harmony Is
so downright sound that it has
bored its way into practically
every phase of fashion now. In
cluding table glassware.
And table glassware today
does not mean only stemware.
The fashion of glass has spread
to plates and cups and saucers.
Two of the places where we
find this tendency very strongly
in evidence are at bridge ia
bles and luncheon tables.
Bridge Sets
Service for four is found in
bridge sets, with black and
dark blue the fashionable
shades. These may be solid
black or solid blue, or either
one may be combined with
plain crystal colored glass.
Topaz is another well-liked
color.
Usually II pieces comprise
these bridge sets-four each Of
plates, water goblets and salad
or dessert glasses. Sometimes
lucky or not-a thirteenth glass
is added sandwich or cake
plate.
Occasionally, too, a bridge
set will also have four glass
cups and saucers, though as q
general rule these are not in
cluded but may be purchased
