Easter-Opening Days have come and gone, but
the rich, wonderful fashions that made the Form-
al Exposition an affair of unprecedented bril-
liance and enthusiam remain for your further
inspection.
Spring, 1917, has indeed, distinguished itself
by ushering in styles that permit the widest pos-
sible freedom of selection. The lines, the colors,
the textures are so diversified that one may in-
dulge her personal preferences to almost any ex-
tent and still be dressed in complete accordance
with Dame Fashion's mandates.
All the new etndencies and style features of the
moment are accurately presented in the Mack
displays. Suits, coats, dresses, skirts, and other
apparel, now gathered in the Fashion Salon, are
authentic to the slightest detail.
Sports Clothes
This is to be a season of sports apparel, and the Fashion Salons
have prepared for it with full assortments of New York's smartest
and most daring creations. "Goldflex" suits of brilliant jerseys,
short belted coats in vividcolorings, and separate skirts that range
through a striking array of stripes and figured patterns-all original
and exclusive, yet surprisingly low priced.
