Their first shipments, ' which have just arrived, include the newest hand made models in French evening gowns, French, Austrian and Belgian cotton and silk dresses for morning and afternoon wear, and extra smart sport attire from Par~ and Vienna. Models which were worn at the races last month at Longchamps, the ptheriaaplace for the smartest dressed women an the world, are now being shown by the Courtesy Shoppe, it is announced.
