Telephone Franklin 7400 420-430 Seventh Street Northwest We’re Weeks Ahead of the Easter Season With These Specially Planned, Attractively Priced Ofierings ‘of Spring’s Smartest Outer Apparel The weather man is against us, yet Easter is but six weeks away, and we are now ready in our Appareling Section, Second Floor, with a display of all that is new in Dresses, Coats and Suits for Misses and Women. We spent many days arranging these complete assortments, not only to secure the very newest and most correct styles that spring has offered, but to shave the prices to the minimum and thus prove to you that it pays to select your apparel early, instead of waiting until the rush of the last pre-Easter week. ; A Dress for Every Day and Night of Springtime Dresses of frills and fancies, dresses of gay color, and dresses of novel lines and drapes that could take their places with the greatest confidence in the Easter day parade. Or if they must be bent to serve the more prosaic af- fairs of the springtime, there are dresses quite demure enough for street or quite dressy enough to answer the many unforeseen calls of spring after- noons and informal evenings. The Quality of Materials a Revelation at This Price The new flat crepe that fashions many of these dresses is of a surprising quality for this price, and there are plenty of cantons, crepe de chines, taf- fetas and Alltyme crepes. The dress sketched is of gray canton, trimmed with fagotting and silver ribbon, and shows a graceful sleeve drape that might credit a higher priced frock. Wraps to Cover Every Need of Springtime §1955 It doesn’t seem possible that this one low-priced group could include so many kinds of coats and capes. But here they are— gloriously ready for Easter, for the dressy occasions with delicate frocks, or with a gaiety that calls for the excitement of spring sports. Plaids are the newest notes in sport coats. Some are very broad and bold; some are just a shadow plaid, while others take a fine pencil line. Even the dressy coats revel in two-tone effects or choose lavish braids and embroid- eries to decorate them . Sketched is a coat of blue-gray tweed, with a delicate overplaid. Spring Sports Suits Express Their ~ Smartness in Kamelore . $29&) If the gentle “ship of the desert” has a coating as soft and fleecy as this new material, we need not wonder at "his proverbial peaceful disposition. The very touch of Kamelore is caressing—so soft it seems you could crum- ple it in your hands, yet with a sturdy body that makes its fit and tailoring perfect. The Suit Pictured Promises to Be One of the Most Popular of the Springtime, for It Has Everything to Recommend It. Kamelore has the same heat-resisting qualities as genuine camél’s hair, making it suitable for all seasons and weather. The lines of the coat follow the favorite jacquette model, buttoning low at the side front with four large buttons. Of mannish simplicity, it still has an irresistible feminine charm, not the least of which is a ini ing tan crepe. lining of matching : D! D Dresses That Play the Whole Scale of Spring’s Color Tones $15% The soft gray of a spring dawn, the dazzling tints of its wild flowers, the varying greens of its foliage and the navy and black of its shadows—all meet on the racks that display these charming dresses. Every Dress a Remarkable Value We might almost call this special group a sale, for every dress was carefully selected to represent the smartest that such a low price could buy—many of them reproducing the very styles shown in the season’s most expensive dresses. Crepe de chines, satins, laces and the favorite Alltyme crepe that is one of fashion’s newest orders for daytime wear. Prints, of course—hundreds of them, blending every conceivable tone. Some are used in combination with plain colors, and some of the plain colors are sufficiently appealing of themselves. Few Springtimes Have Brought Such Coats as These at When you see these you will surely look back to the kinds of coats $25.00 used to buy and wonder if it will ever be possible to do better. But this is a special group of coats that it is not likely we will be able to duplicate, for we have spent many weeks in the market to make this showing complete. Sports coats lead—polo coats with new totiches that give them a decided 1923 cast, mannish coats of chinchilla or tweeds, just hosts of plaids, and some of pile fabrics that have a more dressy manner. The coat sketched is one of those prac- tical models that graces any occasion equally well. Soft gray, with a black overplaid, made with mannish pockets and sleeve straps. These Delightful Frocks Give New Buying Power to The graceful draping and novelty of line that you have perhaps been seek- ing among expensive dresses, fabrics that interpret every spring whim, trim- mings that are really in the exclusive class, and colors that display the ideal combination of smartness and good taste—these are some of the things that mark this exceptionally low-priced showing of dresses. Styles Such as These Are Usually Found at Higher Prices Some have a distinctive, Frenchy air; some employ moire ribbon, beads or other ornamentation most effectively, while others cleverly use their own ma- terials to carry out an intricacy of de- signing—rosettes, pleats, tucks, plaited girdles and scarf collars. The dress illustrated shows how winsome sim- plicity can be, and chooses indo bluc canton crepe, facing the sleeves with a bit of rose. The buckle is a filigree pattern, combining several colors. ~ Coats, Capes and Wraps of Exclusive Design The price is moderate, yet the variety of really exclusive styles (some of them copied from the foremost imported models) will permit many women who had limited themselves to this figure for a spring wrap to have one of far greater smartness than they had expected. Some are decidedly coats, while others are the smartest sort of capes, showing many new ideas in this most versatile of summer wraps. Sketched is a cape of soft-pile fabric, corded at bottom and around the yoke line. The wide roll collar is fastened with a silk cord The other is a wrap-around of the new ammolaine, fashioned on straight youthful lines. Every Whim of Springtirfi;a Is Found in These High-Grade Suits $38$ Conventional tailored Suits of poiret twill and twill cord, suits lavish in their adornments of cleverness of de- sign, and a goodly showing of the favorite three-piece suit are displayed side by side for your selection. Navy Blue Is Still Spring’s Surest Standby, as It Can Express All That Is Both Smart and Practical. But there are many lighter colors—all the tans, fawns and grays that are always a part of Easter., Tailored suits that may be either belted or unbelted, suits with the clever jacquette coat or a youth- ful blouse or box effect. Some of the coats are beaded or embroid- ered or trimmed with bias bands. . The suit sketched is just one of the many three-piece models. They are shown with crepe blouses in gray, green, barberry or paisley prints. s —Second Floor.
