Gimbels Fashion Salons Third Floor . Gi m bel Brothers fen? STREET-BROADWAY- 33 rd STREET NEW YORK CITY Gimbels Fashion Salons Third Floor is Manifest in These New Wearables that Combine Parisian Chic and American Individuality Several Gimbel representatives have just returned from Paris. They saw everything worth seeing?they bought everything worth buying. They brought back loveliest apparel from the world's creators of the best in dress. And now they have adapted these modes to the needs of their American public. Only a few of their productions are mentioned in this little presentation. The Apparel Shops are a-bloom with scores and scores of the loveliest wearables that art could conceive and artistry execute. Choosing Fall Frocks F-u-r-s $298 for street wear always begins with at least one dress of navy tricotine. And it's quite remarkable how many artful ways this simple fabric has of making itself altogether different. Perhaps a hit of georgette embroidered in chenille of gay color, perhaps a few patches of brilliant Baltic embroidery, or colored stitching of effective design. Embroidery done in dull gold threads?eyelet em? broidery in self color, white stitching in a plaid pattern, white flannel reveres?these are only a few of the means that tricotine uses to brighten itself. And tricotine frocks are $25 to $95 ! The Evening Gowns and Dinner Dresses show a preference for black spangles, steel bugles, bronze spangles and pocketbook beads in dull tones. A?flash of orange or a flutter of black tulle?the straightest of lines and the most alluring of results. The evening gown pictured is a skillful blending of lavish beading (it is entirely made of beads and spanples) and extreme simplicity of line. Its dull coloring in ex? quisite tones will emphasize a fair wearer's radiance! It is priced $298. Evening and Dinner Gowns are $79.50 to $298. 77ie Women's Dresses arcy Sold on the Third Floor As well try to play Hamlet without the Prince as to con? ceive a modish fall costume without the added loveliness of Fur.
