Some of this China is Unusually Priced in the Bazaar Dresden claims the interest of world-tourists primarily by virtue of Raphael’s wonderful painting, the Sistine Madonna, and then by the china that hears its name. No one will deny that Dresden china is in its way a work of art just as the Sistine Madonna is. The phrase “as dainty as a piece of Dresden china” did not just happen. And a splendid collection of this china is priced very remarkably in the Bazaar right now. We doubt if Atlanta has ever had such a display — especially at such prices. And at this time when the June Brides’ presents are to be bought and the home is to be fixed up for the summer such prices take on a very interesting meaning. ■ •. » STk • '». «< ■ * Ji/v * * •4* .$3.50 to . -1.w •wr*V4^i $3.50 to • • • • •'e'Wteflw mfmrm,"• mmim a W” • $3.00 and Large Sandwich Platters ..
