Cotton, too', has risen

prices, and the offerings

such that you1 should N
not hesitate to buy liberally.
' The Drapery offerings are
sensational in their character
for example j the Swiss
Curtains are HALF-PRICE,
. !mply because they sus

sational character of this

Wonderful Indeed Is the Variety-
In Beautiful Suits for Fall
Fashion has been extremely liberal and even lavish in
her interpretations for' Fall and as a result, we are able to
show a line of styles seemingly never ending in variety.
At $35.00 .
Beautiful soft Broadcloths, tailored and fur trimmed styles pre
dominate some show large collars, cuffs and bands of Nutria Coney
fur and Heather mixtures in Jersey come in for a large share of con
sideration. Tricofines, Gabardines and Men's Wear Serges form the balance of
this group. '
- Every Suit is elaborately trimmed with buttons and some show beau
tiful trimmings of braidr: In a few models we find fur belted effects,
large dockets and pleats.
At $45.00
As an example of the showing we are making at $49.00, we quote
one stunning Suit of Silvertone Cloth the soft finished material that
has caught popular favor this season.
Coat of this Suit is mannish tailored and comes as near to the Top
Coat effect that a man wears, as anything we have seen. The little
exceptions are the slit tailored pockets and pleats. This is just as smart
as it can be.
A plain tailored skirt accompanies this and there is no effort to
elaborate whatever. Severe in its lines but very, very stylish.
Other materials employed in the group are fine Velours, Poiret
Twills and Broadcloths.
From $75.00 to $135.00 -
We are showing suits that are "distinctly individual .just one glance will show you that these
are superior in every wy. Every detail has been worked out to perfection. Wonderful, indeed,
are the new portmanteau pockets of fur.
Turning the coat inside out, we find beautiful silk lining. Every seam, every cut of the gar
ment expresses style in its highest interpretation.
