Hundreds of Tailor-Made Suits for autumn are now displayed, in con
servative new styles as well as extreme novelties. The beautiful new col
ors are shown in -all their varied beauty catawba, smoke, olive, amethyst,
wistaria, electric, sage and verd. The most novel suits have the long, cling
ing lines of the Directoire period, with broad revers and other characteristic
touches. We call special attention to a full showing of the exquisite Tai
lored Suits of PELLARD of New York and Paris. In these suits are seen
the novel ideas of the leading dressmakers of Paris. The colors are exclu

PELLARD SUITS at $50 to $1500.
Lipman-Wolfe attire for autumn has, as usual, an intangible touch of
authoritativeness in every line and curve. Every day we are adding beau
tiful creations to our superb showing of Tailored Suits and Coats, revealing
the highest perfection of art in the evolution of exquisite fall apparel.
