SOME NEW SHOES.

THE NEW "FROSTED" PASTELS.

لر

You may be familiar with the; shades we have, known as "pastels" for so many years, but you will meet with a breath-taking surprise when you first view the "Trosted pastels" that are the prime offering

of the current fabric season. They are the original soft tints, in' themselves beautiful, with a mista bloom "over then, a subtle mist, and delicate, and they are yet more subdued than the origimals.,
