SHOP WALK
Glorious Autumn! The most colorful of all season Is
right at oar threshold. And never has she favored
W. C Muns Co. more lavishly than now. -
A few weeks ago our buyers and managers went to
New York markets and almost Immediately wrote
back the most enthusiastic letters describing In glow-
ing terms the beautiful merchandise they were to offer
the public this' fall. The buyers are now all returned
and the goods are flowing In as fast as we can unpack
them and every article Is bound to meet your highest
expectations.
The New
Nemolastik Brassiere
Guaranteed Not to Rip or Tear
Truly the Creator of a Youthful
Appearance
How will your figure Iqok in the fall? Will it be smooth
and unbroken of line or will you be unable to wear the
chic fall styles because of Its unsightly bumps and
bulges?
You can make sure that it won't be the latter by wear
ing the new Nemo Reducing Brassiere. A garment
which is lighter in weight than the ordinary brassiere
and one which rids you of all that unwanted flesh
above the waistline.
The Nemolastik fabric used In its design massages
away the fat in such a way that you are entirely uncon-
scious of it and the brassiere Itself Is so light and
dainty you hardly know you have it on.
Hook devices on both front and back parts of the
garment hold it well in position and allow It to "stay
put" during any one of your fall activities. Shoulder
tapes can be adjusted to suit the wearer's needs.
It closes In the back and Is made In a delightful
shade of peach finished with very pretty silk edging.

iness for the great event. Eagerly smart women await the
selection of their favorite contestants. Fashion artists from
all over the world have contributed to the beauty of these models on

waistlines and hats with high postillion crowns. Touches of the
Spanish vogue are also seen on frocks with gay yellow and red
embroidery evening gowns of lace and georgette. Everyone is cor-
dially invited to watch the thrilling start of the race tomorrow.
