The new styles are assembling and each arrival is
a thing of beauty. We are well within the bounds of
truth when we say these new Spring, of 192 4 styles have
reached a point in beauty of' construction and shape ---
combined with the highest degree of excellence ---beyond
which it seems impossible to go.
We want every woman hi town to call to

We'll talk about some of the different styles and
