To make sure of getting Vogue regularly in the 
Summer acquires a little forethought. On out-of-the-way 
newsstands you may look in vain for a copy. Be sure to tell 
the newsdealer in advance that you will want your Vogue. 
Give him at least a fortnight’s v/arning, and he will secure 
| your copy and put it aside for you. Have you, for example, 
jj taken pains to reserve Vogue’s §j 
I LONDON <& PARIS SEASONS | 
Number now on Sale 
Cover Drawing by Helen Dryden 
Especially if you are not planning to go abroad this summer, this Vogue will bring 
you all the news of London, Paris and the gayest watering places on the other side. 
A special London letter in this Vogue is full of the spirit of Ascot, Henley and Hurling- 
ham. T hen there is an article on the once sub rosa but now very respectable Supper 
Clubs of London. There are two pages of photographs of Cliveden, Mr. Waldorf 
Astor’s estate; and two of Hatfield House, the seat of the Marquis of Salisbury. 
The restaurants of Paris are shown in a series of most attractive etchings; there 
is the regular Paris fashion letter and many new pictures of the Paris stage. 
Coming fashions cast their shadows before. In this Vogue you will find corsets 
and hats in the new mode—you should familiarize yourself with them now before the 
great dressmakers open their doors in August.
