AUDE ADAMS goes deeper, pérhaps, when she says in her new play, “If a woman has charm, she has everything!” Certainly no one will deny that dress often goes a long way toward creating that elusive quality—charm—for its wearer. Then, why should woman not cultivate dress and be happy? Worth, Paquin, Francis and all the coterie of great style-set- ters have spoken their last word for Easter. Not only are Fashions now fixed, but our choicest models from the masters of Paris and New York will soon slip away, when once the Easter rush commences. We advise you to avoid haste, choose at your leisure and get exactly what you want by com- ing in the first thing to-morrow morning, rather than waiting un- til the last moment and taking, as often happens, whatever you can get. ol Remember that there are now only six shopping days before Easter! Remember, too, that if you want style, distinction, refinement and elegance in your dress that this store is the Fashion center of « Southeastern New England.
