Will the Costume
Achieve Distinction
SILK SCARFS, brilliantly colored,
that make the spring costume, are
here with smart hemstitched or

A TOM THUMB umbrella saves
the day from being utterly ruined
in case of the proverbial Easter
rain, for the smartness of one's en
semble is increased by the ratio of
its shortness.

may not be carried off without the
swagger of a walking stick. New

handle.
FOX SCARFS of large and beauti
ful skins establish a regal air and
one of luxury.
At $39.75 they're undeniably low
priced.
