There is more to a diamond
than the bright sparkling gem
that one sees in a jewelry store.
And telling the interesting story
back of this gem will be the
series of photos to be found in
the window of the Brown Jew
elry store Fall Opening night.
The series of pictures begins
in the mine in the depths of
South Africa and follows the
diamond through to the finished
product. A complete descrip
tion of the process being fol
lowed will accompany the pho
tos. Included in the descriptions
will be a number of interesting
facts known to few outside of
the diamond industry. Among
them is the information that
"it takes twenty-three tons of
rock brought out of the dia
mond mine to yield a half
carat diamond at the jewelers."

Sophisticated Simplicity Describes
Fall Suit and Coat Selections
Suits and coats for dress-up,
and casual wear, too, wear a
look of suave simplicity in styl
ing a new opulence in fabric.
This year, the magnificence of
fabric is the most interesting
highlight of the fashion story.
Such wool fabrics as super
f 1 n e worsteds, featherweight
gabardines, saxonies and tweeds
are shown over and over again
in nil of the collections. Velvet
and wool combinations are in
troduced look for iridescent
tweeds and a revival of men's
wear fabrics to a new high in
popularity.
Suits see shorter Jackets
fitted, boxy, back-belled and
the classic Norfolk Jackets.
Skirls are slim, and occasion
ally kick-pleated many are all-
around pleated panel fronts

mcst of skirts are slit, both for
utility and good looks.
Shoulders are padded lightly:
sleeves vary from the usual nar
row, classic fit to the flattering
raglnn and dolman cuts. Small
collars with individual treat

carry novelty lapel handling.

Dress-up coats are dramatic
and elegant and are trimmed
with fur for the collar, lapels
and trims. The coats are round
at the shoulder, subtly empha
sized with dressmaker detail
and most of the more elegant
styles follow the close fitting
and princess styles.
All weather coats with full
tip-in, zip-out linings continue
in popularity.

New coat fabrics boast a host
of interesting textures and pat
terns. Shadow overplairis, bold
bright plaids, stripes of varied
and assorted width and color
combinations, are all bright and
exciting. Iridescent tweeds arc
the big news, of course, and the
usual small-to-large checks con
tinue to hold their own.
In suits and coats alike, the
colors are gay and brilliant with
vintage shades sparkling in the
color panorama. All the grape
colors from pale purple to deep
malaga purples, rich with red
overtones, will be in great de
mand. Reds are rosy and clear-hued.
Check taupe, toast and all the
neutral brown tones for top pop-
ularity and you are sure to find
the new putty color widely ac
cepted. The brown family, a
whole, is considered the leader
in the color parade.

are the favorites In the green
family. Slate blues with grey
tones and teal (blue-green)
revived with a fresh, new color
intensity. A true, blue-navy en

Leading woolen mills, leather
fabricators and accessory manu
facturers have banded together
to bring to the market all of
these colors in identical color
values in all manner of mer
chandise.
