ISS BLENKINSOP begs to announce to bachelors and others that she is prepared to undertake shop- ping commissions for those who are P: themselves too busy to attend to their own purchases. An experience of many years’ duration has peculiarly fitted her for this field of en- deavor, and the promptness and taste with which in the past she has filled all commissions intrusted to her hands have elicited universal admiration. In the matter of ties, Miss Blenkin- sop’s taste is unparalleled and unim- peachable. She has bought ties for many of the leaders of fashion west of the Mississippi, as well as for some in the eastern districts. She takes pleas- ure in presenting, with permission, the following testimonial : Philadelphia, Pa., June 19th, 1911. My dear Miss Blenkinsop—The ties you purchased for me in New York last Thursday have arrived safely. They are almost too beautiful to wear, and I have sent for my friend, Mr. J. Arthur Dobbs, whose name is doubtless familiar to you as the leading sunset painter of America, to come here and pose them into a study in color for an oil painting, which I shall subsequently endeavor to have used as a cover for the Christmas issue of one of our leading magazines. Many, many thanks for the artistic treat you have given me! Very truly yours, Rittenhouse Filbert. SHOPPING FOR MEN. The Blenkinsop method is always an assurance of the highest artistic effect. She never fails to take into account the color scheme of her patrons in the mak- ing of purchases, and correspondents at THE AIR PLANE IN AFRICA. Giraffe— Here, you, be careful where you 're going. The next time you hit me in the neck I'll bite you."* when they drop in to see cousin John. a distance desiring to avail themselves of her services are requested to send photographs of themselves, together with a lock of their hair, in order to give her some idea of what would be becoming to each individual patron, as well as to enable her to avoid undesir- able eombinations in color. The follow- ing note from a customer in Skowhegan who has dressed on the Blenkinsop method for several years is evidence of her care in this respect: Skowhegan, IIl., June 3d, 1911. Miss Blenkinsop: Dear madam—I thank you for the red four-in-hand tie received this morning. It harmonizes more perfectly with my hair than any red necktie I have ever worn. Now, will you please send me on as soon as possible four pairs of silk socks which will look well at social events when I stand before an onyx mantelpiece, with one foot placed non- chalantly on a nile-green-plush chair ? Also, I am going in for amateur garden- ing, and if you can find anywhere in the New York shops a pair of overalls that will not clash with the rich purple of the foxglove when I lean on a hoe at rest with the foxglove as a background, I shall be grateful to you. Sincerely yours, Effingham Dubbs. Miss Blenkinsop desires to call atten- tion to the wonderful line of attractive bargains in men’s suspenders now avail- able in the market. The growing habit in all parts of the country of dining in one’s shirt sleeves has given great im- petus to the art suspender, and Miss Blenkinsop will be glad to select, and to comicbooks.com
