rJ1HE striking feature of tliese opening
displays is the silent tribute they pay
to the ingenuity of American designers
and the skill of American manufacturers.
Restricted use of materials has created a
new type of fashions fashions that are
truly all American, with simplicity that
shows high regard for the nation a
spirit of conservation and reflects the
spirit of democracy.
rJ1HE keynote of Spring styles is just
this they have been developed along
simple lines to meet the needs of a nation
at war. And American genius has given
to them a distictiveness and attractive
ness that has hardly been hoped for, con
sidering the handicaps under which the
fashion authorities have been obliged to
work. Never has been assembled in
Plattsmouth a more charming variety.
Every Section is Prepared With Extensive Varieties
for a Great Spring Business
and advantages in early buying are everywhere evident.
Dresses in
Many New Modes
Tlie new dresses defy description so manv and

wear, severe in line and simply trimmed are equal

will take p-rent pleasure in eh oozing- now.
Individuality
in Suits
spring suits run from one extreme to the other
thev are eitlinr sni nily tailored in mannish fashion
ordelightfully feminine: and one is puzzled to know
just which type is most attractive. Fabric limita
tion has resulted in the return of the little Eton
jacket, and many other smart combinations that af
