Jane Stuart Dodges Heat Waves . With the mercury pranc- ing madly up and down— mosily up—the streets themselves fairly blistering in the sun, and here and there a cautious whisper about Dog Days, I was in- deed refreshed to walk through the store, with its wide, airy departments, under electric fans, and find so many aids to cool- ness. An Organdie Blouse First, you will want to know what to wear that will make you look cool, even if you can’t feel So. There is nothing more dainty than an organdie blouse that retains its crispness and does not look bedraggled after a hot, try- ing day. And they are not made fussy by many trim- mings, but have a simple bit of cluster tucking and organdie scallops around the collar and cuffs. $5.00. Rain or Shine There’ll be many sudden thunder showers—at least we hope for their relief— and if you carry a pretty silk umbrella that protects vou alike from scorching sunshine or torrents of rain. you'll be fortunate. Purple, blue, green, garnet and black, with wide satin border and handles of bakelite and amber. $5.95.

Curtains, bedspread and bol- ster, scarf. pincushion and pillow, stamped ready for working, in our Art Depart- ment. The Acroplane Fan! What wouldn’t you give right now to whisk from vour handbag a tiny affair of tor- toiseshell, with three little wings that go round and round at the pressure of a finger? It folds up compactly, and is fitted with a small mir- ror on the reverse side. 75c. When Jumping Overboard Is your only escape, you will, of course, have seen to it be- forehand that you have the proper bathing suit. Simple one-piece suits of wool, in many pretty colors are $3.25 to $1595. And the bathing pumps of gingham, surf cloth and canvas will make you im- patient to wear them. At the Toilet Goods Department I found numerous ways to re- freshment. There is the most delightful lemon lotion, that soothes sunburn or any hot, jaded skin; bath salts, whose delicate odors carry you back to the days of spring wild * flowers, and any number of refreshing creams and pow- ders. All the wonderful beau- ty preparations of Primrose House are there, too. During these wery hot days, of course you will avoid coming down toum if you can possibly do so. I am always here at Franklin 7400, and will be glad to do your shopping for you.
