Right now you ought to be craving something with a really new look—something with Spring in it—and I can think of nothihg “Springier” than those fresh, crisp or- gandie and mousseline things which deck so many of the newest frocks—there is one particularly, meant for nights-about-town, in an awfully new-looking print— (you know what I mean)— with a perfectly enormous amount of white mousseline on it—giving you a perfectly angelic look—for the small sum of $19.50. Misses® Dresses, Third Floor Woodward & Lothrop Terribly impressive looking, if this is = sample of what Spring coats are going to be, is this first arrival—very Vionnet, the way the cape collar crosses and fastens at the sides—with an extra dash of real elegance (sgain) in the silver fox collar— fastened in the front, but draping ,itself loosely about Women’s Shops 1207 F 7th&K *3212 14}11 one’s shoulders—loveliest, of course, in black—$72.50.

Stationery and_Confections First Floor Woodward & Lothrop The woman who insists on real elegance will do well to see this (call it a suit or a dress)—there is a dress and a three-quarter jacket, in a new, greyish blue, crepe: that looks like wool—and for contrast, the top of the dress and a scarf use a smart print; you'd go far before Women's Walnut Room Third Floor Woodward & Lothrop Don't imagine that you can get along without a suit this Spring—and you won't have to, when you know about this little discovery. It’s one of those nice Spring woollens, not too thick—it combines a sort of spectator-sports and run-about-town idea that is seldom found in a single suit—and as if that were not enough—there is a chic little blouse that goes with it—and the grey and yellow is per- fect — makes you long for Spring — $0 you can wear it without a coat—and for all this $16.50 is small. Sportswear, Third Floor Woodward & Lothrop Oh, yes—that little taffeta breakfast coat—not every day do you have the oppor- tunity of buying one that not only makes you look positively enchanting (even in the morning, across the breakfast table), but can be purchased, still leaving a girl lunch money.
