Chamberlin Johnson Dußose Company | Atlanta New York Paris Sweaters for Gifts | They Will Receive a Warm Welcome If you would give a Sweater this Christmas, you may give more than just a serviceable garment, for these in this holiday display are unusually attractive. They are novel in a great many respects—the stitchings of the knitting are often new, so with the collars, and the two-toned effects, the reversible Sweaters, often a dark shade on one side, a light one on the other. We have done much on our part to make Sweaters choice gifts this season. It is for you to select the one you like best. Select it from these. At $2.25, plain garter stitch sweaters with high roll storm collars, in navy. red. gray, tan, black and white. At $2.95 is the same style in a heavier weight, that those who are out of doors much will like better.

And forYouWhoWillGive Kimonos Let us tell you what we have been told by disinterested women— this is unquestionably the most elaborate display of kimonos in Atlan ta. And it should be. When selecting them our buyer went to a maker who has the happy faculty of doing things better than any of his com petitors. Hi,s bump of originality must be splendidly developed. Until these arrived we had never seen such kimonos, such novel effects, such col orings. We refer to both the kimonos of the darker and more servicea ble shades and to those of the Lighter shades where much lace and ribbon are used. .. , And there are so many of them and such a diversity! Materials are Cheney silks, soft, lustrous satins and crepe de chines. Those of silk and satin usually show great gorgeous floweu patterns, although bor dered effects are not uncommon. Those of crepe de chine—perhaps we should call them boudoir robes —are decidedly Parisian with i plaited and tucked yokes, and empire styles with plain and accordion- | plaited skirts. Some even have panniers, and more laces and ribbons • than you would suppose could bo put into one robe. But this does not toll you what your eyes will show you—you must see them. .4a*k i Those of Cheney silk are $4.50 and $5.00. j Those of satin and crepe de chine start at $6.00. • We Have Done This for You This Christmas More effectively than at any previous Christmas—we have made it 1 much easier for you to get choice little presents.
