Allen’s Features it in
Silk Suits!
World Courts may convene to discuss reduction of
the navies, but Fashion calmly ignores World Courts
and Disarmament Conferences and deliberately increas

embroidered batiste with mosaic edge—Suits of every
style line up their resources of chic to prove the power
of "navy''!
