197 Nanking Road, is a of womankind, weighing in as she is doing with a' Sale just at the time when everyone is thinking of new frocks. It will be a hard person indeed to please who does not come to the end of the trail among the lovely materials to be found here.
Very strong in their appeal are the charming light woollens and tweeds. There is a good three months yet when they will be comfortable wear—and then they can be put aside to come in again so well for the first cool days of autumn!
Some of the dress woollens are 54 inches wide, three very attractive ones being in wine colour, black and soft grey. Light and soft in quality, for frocks or light coats over silk dresses, these are a gift at $3.60 a yard. Angora wools in soft blues. greens, pink and grey, ideal Spring colourings, were in evidence. Then there is Elastex, a woollen containing sufficient elastic for it to stretch and yet spring back into shape—thus avoiding that heart-breaking "sitting. out" of a narrow skirt.
Among the silks were some wonderful chiffon velvets, well reduced in price and in exquisite shades. All-silk transparent black velvet is down to $10 a yard. French georgettes are as low as $1.60 and a magnificent heavy French marocain could be had for $2.80. Flowers, belts, buckles are all partaking in the remarkable reductions in price.
