Coats Designed
To Match.
In order to provide a complete
outfit, there are matching raincoats
In the new shorter swagger length
with large patch pockets and a
upper fastening to keep you snug
and dry. Among other sets of coat
and umbrella, one finds beautiful
pure silk styles coated with water
proofing substance, and these we are
told contain no rubber
Perhaps the most fascinating in
the display, however, are parasols
that do duty for sun or rain. They
are made in prints of the Victorian
or paisley varieties, and are so
charming you'll carry them through
out the day with summer clothes.
Stylists have been trying to get
across the idea of parasols for
several seasons now, and we do
believe that if such lovely ones con-
tinue to be shown at such low prices,
there will be demand for them this
year. Our pet is of ruffled rayon,
good for weepy or smiling weather,
and done in combination of gay
nineties print and solid white. It's
full, and f1irtatious looking-and not
too expensive.
Accessories

At the notion counters OF the

small gadgets that are designed to
keep YOU dry from head to foot.
There are hat covers that fold up
into case no bigger than your

to protect the toes of your shoes

In addition, you'll see those foldup
raincoats and capes which so many
girls carry for emergencies. In
