An apparel message
f r o m Goodyear's
DUNG women of J-Hop proclivities, with
a desire to view smart evening attire, should
hie themselves to Goodyear's. They will,
find the joyous lilt of dance music echoed
in lovely gowns, the spirit of youth reflected
with all its freshness and charm.
And, vastly essential to the perfect toute ensemble, they
will find the details of formal apparel - exquisite, correct.
Should purses hint discretion ever so slightly, the greater
should be their haste. For Goodyear exclusiveness entirely
belies actual prices, which are remarkably low.

Gowns Delightfully
Original
In color and silhouette
GOWNS are developed from a variety of
fabrics. Glittering sequins, jewel-like
in their colorings, crisp taffetas, lustrous
satins and velvets, cloth of silver and chif-
fon crepe-all lend their beauty to make
this a season of brilliant evening wear.
There is every color-that is, every color
that fashion sponsors. Very many, in this
case.
When the originality of design and the
worth of fabric and workmanship are con-
sidered, prices seem unduly moderate.
$25 to $89.50.
