I' i An early Spring portrait of the WILLIAM BLAKES MILLY’S HUSBAND said he’d throttle her if she ever tried to buy him another shirt or tie. But Milly was a woman, and last Tuesday evening when Blake arrived home with a package under his arm, Milly had a tidy, little package for him, too. “MY SHIRT,” he continued, “has a brand- new pattern ... a combination of single and double stripes. It has the new coft shade of gray. It has an Arrow collar. It has an Arrow tie and handkerchief, please note, made especially to go with it. And...” MILLY GIGGLED, “William, especially for Spring, I bought you the latest thing in shirts. I know it is the latest, because the clerk said it was.” William said, “That, my dear Milly, is not even remotely possible. I just bought the latest in shirts.” “AND,” INTERRUPTED MILLY, “It is called ARROW AROLYYN. It is the same shirt, darling, I bought, only I picked blue, you picked gray.” “By gaily, you’re right,” cried William. “Before I throttle you, suppose I take you to the movies.” COME IN TODAY to Arrow headquarters, and see this handsome new shirt.. Arrow Arolyn. It comes in several handsome colors and costs just $2. Ties are $1 ■ handkerchiefs, 35c; and Arrow’s seamless-crotch shorts to complete the outfit, 65c.
