stockings are most reasonable
at 85c a pair and in all weights
and shades. Then they carry
beautiful mesh hose at $1.95,

Washington Fashions

There's always something new
in the world of fashion. The
best clothes of early fall de-
velop and change a little bit as
the season goes, so that by this
time of the year there are al.
ways a few variations that did
not appear earlier to make
wardrobes look smart and fresh.
One of the new features Of
the coat made is a fabric called
"Chonga." It's a weave that
looks like a homespun and it Is
used for coats of an informal
nature. There has been a de-
cided interest in the texture OF
lovely surfaces. It looks rather
rough, like a hand-looaned
fabric, but Is really as soft,
pliable and easily draped as silk.
Coats made of it fit with easy
lines and hold a good appear
ance for a long time.
The two coats Sketched today
are of this smart fabric, and
they both feature the best &C.
cepted lines of the season. The
coat, trimmed with caracul, is
black. It is semi-fitted, and
belted besides. The other coat
is brown and is trimmed with
lovely silvered American fcx.
It's hard to tell which coat Is
the smartest, as they are both
so good looking: It is merely a
matter Of which color you IRE
fer. These coats are from a
washington store and are priced
reasonably for their wonderful
quality.

Miss LaVille will gladly an
swer any question about these
coats or about fashion Is you
will call District $3.50, Extension
