style of dress shows nearly every line Of
the form and tight-fghting overcoats set
the figure off perfectly. We will not fit
line dresses over any other sort of under
wear. The tights worn by these women
are made OF Isle thread or silk and are lust
as carefully made as the finest worn by
opera singers"
