Bischof Developments of Merovingian Modes

Styles instantly adopted by fashionable dressers npHE new medieval styles mean the long -I- waistline both in coat and skirt and the return to curves, but to curves so long, slender and graceful they are a delight. Besides the interest their novelty gives these Moyen Age or Merovingian styles, they have a charm, a beauty which will carry them over several seasons. They admit of infinite variety. Descriptions can’t give you the effect of these garments. To get the best idea of the styles for Fall, come in and see our exhibit now. They are the prettiest models shown this fall. Made in quaint Rennaisance shades, violet, raisin, catawba, etc., their simplicity relieved by reproductions of rare old trimmings, they are fairly irresistible. ■ You can easily find something individual, original and wholly becoming. We are showing particularly good models in broadcloth serges, homespun, etc. Ask for our Bischof Style Book. It gives you the latest style news and shows types of all the different styles that will be worn this season. Mailed on request.
