HERE'S a funny little item about sales-tax troubles 160 years ago in London. To protect the English weavers of linen and wool, cotton chintz was stiffly taxed, and the Lord Mayor was "shocked and grieved" to see three gentlewomen Walking in St. James Park on Sunday dressed in chintz gowns. On Monday morning, the three ladies were haled into court but all promptly pafd their fines . , . because chintz was so pretty and so cool ! It still is. Crisp little dot and flower chintz for warm weather frocks. Red-rambler-rose chintz for summer bedrooms. Chintz slip-covers for dining-room chairs. Chintz blinds when you take the winter draperies down. Right now is the time to do your chintz-choosing. Or gay cretonnes and bold blocked linens . . . clothes at special after-Easter savings . . . porch and lawn furni ture . . . garden tools . . . ALL the things you'll need and enjoy this summer.
