The New Note in
Women's Hand Bags
Really they seem to make last season's hand bag look much
like last season's hat.
The hand bag is such an intimate accessory - always in one's
lap, over one's wrist or lying on the chair or table - always in
the limelight. That's why it will be such a satisfaction to

A Colorful Festival
in Fashionable Ribbons
Ribbons, Ribbons everywhere, with radiant colors wherever
they go! Ribbons on every sort of frock - for sashes, for
rufflings, for jabots. Ribbons on so many smart fats. Rib-
bons for blouses and negligees. Ribbons for Lingerie. Rib-
bons for Baby's wear.
And these are just the Ribbons most wanted, with some inter-
esting price-news as well.
