;r?g and manufacturing helps our effort to see
to it that every customer who lets your Dad put

The FASHION FROCK
of the WEEK!
, Designed American—for Americans
'W'V^W'WW*vw\
ENCHANTING AND
TYPICALLY AMERICAN
os worn in Hollywood by
Grace Bradley
Popular Screen Actress
This is on* *f the moat exciting
frocks ever presented in this series.
It ■was created by a designer well
known for her knowledge of the
tastes and needs of the American
woman. Attention is centered on an
enchanting panel of folds over the
bosom, caused by a hidden draw-
string at the neck. The waist is
moulded high and is sleek through
the middle. Shirred pockets at the
hips release fold after fold of lovely
soft pleats in the skirt. The fabric
pattern is unusually attractive.
Note that the print represents a
novelty design, original, clever and
most becoming, and is printed on a
very rich rayon crepe which is
beautiful as well as practical. For
originality in design this week’s
frock is considered in th* fashion
world as breath-taking.
