In addition to this coat ajsmall girl will need a jacket for every day wear. One which is jaunty in its design is made of dark blue lightweight whipcord. It is doublebreasted and bound with black satin. Big smoked, pearl buttons decorate the front. A. JAUNTY BOLERO JACKET.

But don’t you think it is. about time that the newspapers let up on talking about my clothes? They always have to say the same things right over and over again. Just think how many thousand times they have said. “She had a Prince Albert, etc.' ” The interviewer changed the subject.
