'l I l lt i ll Mm ' Long before the crocuses appear a woman's thoughts turn to the getting of a tailored suit. Perhaps she has weathered the Winter without a new suit, but when Springtime comes it is not a case of desire, but necessity. And this Spring, more than ever before, a woman will want a new suit, for styles have really changed. . " . Although our suits are distinctive and represent all the new ideas of Paris and London, they are not "showy." They are suits that will appeal to the best dressed women in America. These new suits are reproductions and adaptations of imported models. These new suits are made of the most approved fabrics, including many of silk. ,". ' These new suits are man-tailored and made in the Lipman-Wolfe way in every particular. Many of the dozens of new styles have touches of white eponge, serge or bengaline, some times stitched with black. This note gives the modish tone that is so highly approved by fashion. Navy and new shades of blue, brown, leather, mustard, white, green, also black and two-tone effects. Stripes are much in evidence in pique de laine and whipcord fabrics, also in men's-wear suitings.
