this gray kid pump with its grace*

By Its Accessories
Will the Costume
Achieve Distinction
SILK SCARFS, brilliantly colored,
that make the spring costume, are
here with smart hemstitched or
fringed edges.
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.
A SUCCESSFUL SUIT promenade
may not be carried off without the
swagger of a walking stick. New
York prefers the amber crooked
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.
FOR DAINTINESS and springtime
fragrance, choose Narcissum per
fume at $3 an ounce; or Locust
Blossom at 75c an ounce.
CHIFFON HOSE at $1.69 will ren- !
drr splendid service and retain their
excellent appearance. They are
