It is quite obvious that we did not procrastinate, but we mention this fact as one of the principal reasons for our unprecedented success on this occasion. Last Friday, we presented the first model Gowns and Wraps that arrived—from Bernard, Paquin, Poiret, Bechoff-David, Beer and Drecoll—for it would have been absurd to wait, as we knew that one of our Fashion Chiefs was bringing the models of the other famous dressmakers on the S. S. “Amerika” and would be here in time to be presented today. These Models, which made their debut in America today are from Doucet, Brandt, Agnes, Premet, France, Jeanne Hallee, Margaine Lacroix and Martial et Armand. “The Finest Millinery in the World” is what a well-known fashion authority considers the millinery displayed in “La Promenade!" Yes, some of the chapeaux are the origina! models from the famous Paris modistes, while the majority are exclusive Ginubel creations. You are cordially invited to these exhibitions at 10.30 A.
