breathe a word to anyone--ut you know us
girls, and this is something you, will all want
to know 6.
Today I was in Jacobson's nosing around,
thinking possibly I might see something in an
evening gown that was different, that I could
wear to the J-Hop.
Did not want to buy one
now, but wanted to get ai idea what they
WERE SHOWING.
I live in New York, and have shopped in the
most exclusive places on Fifth Avenue.
And
at Jacobson's I found just as lovely and as
exclusive things .as I have ever seen any place.
Now here is the secret - Jacobson's have
made arrangements -to buy the entire line of a
very large dress importing firm of New York,
and after January 1 st
will have the most
elaborate display of gorgeous evening gowns,
creations bf the most famous Paris designers,
as well as gowns designed by some of the
leading American designers.
A little inside tip-If you want a gown for
J-Hop, wait until you come back after the
holidays, and Jacobson's will display the
most elaborate line of evening gowns you have
ever seen.
