Feb. 1. dressed woman of the to' small city who pr des hersel the up-to-date fashion ofj clothes and on the fact th buys them in some big G city from a department, flamboyantly displaying it: i3 and New York address, ” be surprised to know that sol of the best dressed women o modern means in that same city do not buy their coats and suits and dresses from high-priced department stors, but go to the small cities and obtain selections equally as good for much less money.

She has d s covered that the merchants n small towns have just as good quality and style in their hats, shoes, suits and coats as the high priced merchants with the gor- geus department in hig-rent districts.
