Thump, Thump, the hammer has fallen, the winter season is over and the banquet of the moths is about to begin. Swift, terse orders are given and the attack is on. Into your clothes closets and your furs the moths go, and sad is the fate of clothes that are left hanging when they should be in cold storage vaults. I. J. Fox 5th Avenue has fought a winning battle against these invaders, with modern scientific fur vaults as your protection. They will call for, examine, clean, glaze and repair your furs and the store them safely until Fall.

Clothes carry on and we mean that in any way you care to take it. Adolph Kimmel, at 218 West Seventy-second street, that famous designer and maker of smart clothes for women, advises women to indulge their moods. Play up your personality and dress to satisfy your sense of the dramatic, says Mr. Kimmel. His clothes are different, made expressly to suit individualized personality. Perfect for these romantic spring days was a cocktail gown–a flower splashed print with frill and ruffle. A one piece dress, simple but truly different was in a soft crushed rose shade with self applique and high throat line. Still another was a lovely spring-like gown of soft black net over shimmery moire, a dress to lure the night and romance. If you are seeking the ultra-smart in dresses, suits, or coats drop in to see him.

Saks 5th avenue is featuring a stunning collection of fabric gloves.

Chanut (the great fabric glove man over there) is discarding fancy trimmings. He believes success in fabric gloves depends on beautiful materials. In other words, gloves are simple in shape and interesting in material instead of the other way around.
