Round The Shops

"Isn't the weather just awful?" is the question on everyone's lips during the past few days, when summer definitely heralded its ad- vent with its daily growing warmth and humidity. Light and airy at- tire is the order of the day from now on or so it would seem, for one never know's when the weather clerk may take it into his head to catch the too early summer birds with a chilly blast.

Anyway, summer fashions it is today and summer fashions it will remain for some time so let's hie

round the shops to see what they are doing to relieve the dress cool in hot weather problem!

Attractive? Yes:

Attractive may be a common- place enough word, but when it is applied to the display of summer wear in Lane, Crawford's Ladles'

Salon, it takes on a realistic mean- ing. Take a look at their amazing range of washable cotton evening gowns for example. Few women really pay a thought to cottons, but the styles at Lane are distinctíve and their designs more than the-l meaning given to attractive, And they carry all sizes too-for the plump matron to the slender si- houette of the outdoor and sports girl. The little coatees to match are accessories that add to the charm of the well designed full skirts and the entire ensemble is

· pleasing beyond description.
