On a cloak like one of these—even

It takes that long to make each of
these cloaks at the famous “Swas”
ladies’ tailoring shops, equipped with
every modern facility
for the work.
As much care is. be

would give it, if made
in' your own home.
You do not want
an imitation of the season’s style
like everybody else’s.
You avoid this by having a wrap
that bears the “Swas" trademark.
The head of the department of
design of the “Sw*s” tailoring shong

ideas to this country veess before
others can obtain them.
But “Swas' original*
