Dress for Autumn

"For working girls and housewives who like a dress instead of a suit this is a dress which would never wear out. Probably it would be seen at its best at the beginning of autumn. The dress itself in brown and white with brown hat, shoes and gloves, would look very finished for outdoors, too, with a silk scarf at the neck or, if you have it, a small [faux] fur tippet. A smart young dress for not-so-young women."
