Fall Clothes More WearabIe
Than Ever Before
BY Wilma La Vile

washington women viii UNI
doubtedly welcome the news
that this fall will be a season
when they can get more delight
full fashions than ever and also
they will get more for their
money. There are two reasons
why shopping win be easier and
more economical than In other
seasons. First Of al, the fall
clothes are more wearable than
they have been in many years.
The best feature Of last falls
fashions which created such o.
furore by their change, have
been boiled down to q stabilized
and beautiful mode for this
fan. Every line flatters the
figure, every color Is becoming
and there are details TO over
come any possible difficulty in
the human form. At the same
time, there is an individuality
which make it possible for all
Of us to find something particu-
larly suited to ourselves so that
we will not have to copy any
body in our costumes.
The second factor Is the gen
eral economic situation which
will change values q bit for fall.
In, some cases, price lines will
be lower, and in others price
lines viii remain the same but
there will be greater values at
those prices. washington stores
are selecting their merchan-
disc with more care than ever.
they will be prepared to offer
better values than we have
had the advantage Of for many
seasons, so that. undoubtedly
washington will be better
dressed this fall than ever.
In budgeting your fall ward
robe, you can count on saving
a bit here and there. through
better value or lower price, and
II you want any suggestions or
help in this budgeting call Miss
I.aVille at The washington
Times, District $3.50, Extension

help YOU.

Then there are scarf collars.

them round your neck, or cross
them loosely In front to give
q jabot effect. 1
New Cuffs
While plain, straight sleeves
are just as smart as ever. there
are new ideas in cuffs that
you'll find quite different. The
pouch type, for example. And
the double cuff.
