Our collection of diese ador able frocks is truly representa tive of the character, individu ' ality and unmistakable authority that mark the introductions of this establishment. Featured are enchantingly quaint basque ef ril fects as well as the longer blouses, surplice effects and straighter line models for larger women. Some are quite simple and devoid of all trimmings, yet unerringly true to the mode— while others, more frivolously in clined, have dainty touches of organdy, net or rich lacese, or perhaps a bit of deft beading to emphasize their originality. Prices! .More modest than -you'd dared to hope for under present conditions— * m SUPER-SMART TAILORED SUITS Designed, made and finished with that precision mid finesse that are in variably the ear-marks of most costly custom tailoring. Especially featuring the new long, narrow collars and revers in semi-tuxedo effects, with or with out notches. Both sports and strictly tailored models in fine lightweight spring woolens. * TOPCOATS Pretexting the new half and three-quarter length coat* in Cemels Hair Cloth, Angora Polo, Herrin,?bdne Sil vertone, Wool Jersey, Velourctte, Trico tine and Gaberdine. Indispen sable and indescribably smart are these new coats—truly more diverting and more de lightful maps than Fashion has evolved m many springs—and surely designed for wear with the rich new skirts of current vogue. SEPARATE SKIRTS More varied, more radiantly charming than ever' are this season'» skirts—gleaning their shimmering colors from the brilliancy of precious stones and rare hue of during flowers —or turning again to the de lightful checks and plaids of Old Scotland. As usual, the Bogalusa Stores' display repre sents the most recent and au thoritative fashions in rich silk stuffs and fine woolens. MILADY'S BLOUSES introducing a number of new and authentic Bleute Mode», skillfully fashioned of finest fabric*—Georgette, crepes de chine and pongees—revealing an originality in design and a richness in coloring, such as our waist section has never be-' fore shown. Short and three quarter length sleeves are fea tured, and many over-blouses are in evidence—though, of-* course, the smart and more con seryative tailored blouses are not' neglected. HATS OF INCOMPARABLE CHARM Propsrly first in fashionable thoughts in a new season, this Spring Mil Imery nchfcr asserves that precedence.

The mudholes have been stuffed full of gravel and where they once yawned with wide open mouths for the suspicious and wary and hopeless autoist, there is now a fine light-complexioned patch of gravel. ...................... * —————— YOUNG FOLKS DANCE Mr. and Mrs. Frank Pierce enter- tained a number of young folks at a dance jn their home last Saturday evening, which was greatly enjoyed by all who attended.
