There’s a model with a back that’s high for all informal occasions, but unbuttons to a low decolle- tage when formality is required—worth three dresses in any one’s wardrobe —a puffed sleeve gown that’s too adorably “little girl” for words, and a sleeve- less frock with stiffened, extended shoulders that is the breath of Paris itself. The street models have just the right tailored touch.

This one actually looks hand knit! In fact, it has hand- knit edging and buttons—and its fine, lacey pattern—the very lat- est design in such things— would lead any one to believe it to be one of those frightfully expensive hand-knit frocks that smart women are simply yearn- ing for!

About “Glen Bogie” Ctaninise T Tl “stand up” under hard us: in the field, yet be femininely fash- jonable ‘round town. For them we created “Glen Bogie.” Its suc- cess was instantaneous.

The Two-Seam Non-Twist Silk Slip $|.95 Here is another innovation at Jelleff’s —a slip that simply refuses to slide ’round, or up, or down, no matter how great the provocation! It’s slim and straight. Its two seams cause it to fit perfectly, and it’s made of “Mello- Sheen,” the finest quality pure dye silk. With lace-appliqued top and edge and shadow panels, or in a tai- lored model. Tearose, white or flesh. Sizes 32 to 44. SECOND FLOOR Copies of couturier bags—that would regularly cost much more i N There are the big, soft pouches with the roomy change com- partments and cigarette cases, envelopes with zipper compart- ments and extension gussets, vanities, over-arm models, and a stunning flat model with a bill pocket and attached change purse. Conservatively good-looking models for matrons, styles with a bit more dash for misses, and some giddy creations with gay touches of color the very younger set will adare! Need- less to say, it took a special trip and a special arrangement with one of our cleverest manufacturers to secure bags like these at so low a price—and we're very much afraid there won’t be any more like them when thmsare gone!
