An attractively exclusive display of
Paris Inspired Crepe Frocks and
Suits for Afternoon and
Restaurant Wear
As nearly all women arc well posted on the features of the
great Parisian couturiers they may come to see these garments
and expect to find Chinese coats, the gauntlet sleeves, the bo-
lero and Russian effects that characterize the creations of
style-masters.
The Americanized versions have taken away any gro-
tesqueness that might make the wearer undesirably conspicu-
out without detracting any from the charm of appearance.
Imported crepes are combined with heavy ratine, Venise
or Macrame laces, giving the light, prety fabric a very dis-
tingue character.

scientious use of this preparation will make the skin clear and
smooth and restore the fatigued tissues; 50 cents the bottle.

REDFERN CORSETS are
the result of thirty-five '
years of research into the '
relationship of corsets to
health.
They are the product of the
genius and skill of a prac-
ticing physician, who has
produced a health! corset that
is worthy of the name.
A corset designated as a
health corset is usually con-
sidered as one in which style
has been sacrificed to other
requisites.
The REDFERN Corset is in
very exclusive materials and
designs that follow closely
the natural lines of the fig-
ure, preserving and accen-
tuating the grace of the
body,
$3.50 to $10. and skilled cor-
setieres to fit them.
