life has so far established itself that inquiry
shows that one or two Of the largest dry goods

as worn under gowns are almost invariably
black, as being more chic and more Frenchy
than other hues. They are put on precisely
after the actress fashion, that is, drawn up
from the feet and smoothed over tho figure
What particular feminine fancy such a light
under bushel arrangement ministers to it
would be hard telling. One woman who bas
adopted the fashion says that hers are light,
