So important is this movement that almost every magazine we Have read this week has de-

voted pages and pages to it, picturing and describing the new clothes that appeal to scholars

(and their mothers) because of their extreme practicability and their perfect adaptability to every educational and recreational purpose.

And after having read the magazines, we members of The Times staff paid a series of visits to

the Indianapolis stores where it was our great pleasure to see the magazines come to life—with win-

dows and counters and cases filled with the self-same clothes we had seen in the magazines.

This speaks well for our Indianapolis store-keepers. It shows that the talented editors of the magazines are not a step ahead of our merchants. It shows that both editors and merchants share the same appreciation of quality, of simplicity, of beauty, of becomingness.

And when we examined the price-tickets on the merchandise we had another delightful surprise.

In every case the price seemed extraordinarily moderate. With the result that we ceased being newspapermen and women for the moment, and became parents—and figured up how much Jess.

it will cost us to send our own sons and daughters back to school than it had cost our own par nts |

to do so back in the Septembers when we used to climb the school- house steps.
