Here's thoroughly good underwear at the undermost prices.
The harmony of the best material, style and workmanship is
apparent in every garment. The plainest and lowest priced
corset cover is made with the same iberalty as to width and
size as the richest and costiest gown. Not a point that ap.
peals to discerning women has been overlooked. It's not to
be c%onfounded with the skinny, poorly made stuff that's
usually gotten up for bargain sale purposes. The only short
coming will be found in the prices, for they're out of all pro.

tie as you please. you'll be more than satisfied with what YOU
