ATLANTA NEW YORK PARIS
Especially Good News For
Teachers and Schoolgirls About
Their New Suits
We direct this advertisement to teachers and school
girls in particular for the very good reason that we have
directed particular attention to their suit-wants.
We have made unusual preparations for them this fall,
we have specialized in our purchases in snch a way that
now we can make this statement—teachers and school
girls planning their wardrobe for the fall and winter
minths owe it to themselves to see the suits wi have
gathered for this display— for the sake of economy and
of style.
A broad statement, of necessity, for it tells of hun
dreds of suits, each with some point of merit that will
strike the fancy of some one teacher or schoolgirl.
It remains for you to see which will be your choice,
for certainly we do believe that, after all the thought and
study we have spent on this question this season, most of
you will find just the suit you want—however, that is for
you to decide.
There are plain tailored suits one after another that
show in their lines and in their fine tailoring the trimness
and wearing qualities so much desired.
There are “semi-fancy” suits that combine the service
qualities for the school room and the touch of the “dressy”
for occasions—this touch may be the drapery of a skirt,
the novel lines of a cutaway coat, a bit of velvet on the col
lar and cuffs; it may be the novelty of the weave—one of
the new poplins, a Bayadere stripe, a wool matelasse or a
wool brocade. And the color, it may be just what you
have in mind or a color new with this season, perhaps a
rich brown, a Copenhagen a little darker than the Copen
hagen you have known, a wistaria, a prune or a mahogany
shade.
And prices are low, never were such good-looking suits
to lie had at
$18.75, $21.75, $25 and $29.75
