And he scrawled, with cynical smiling,

Philadelphia Press: What a huge ex-
travagance 1t seems to every woman OF
limited income, when she puts hand to
pocket and pays out the sum required
for a really good silk undersklrt or the
material for one. But, then, 1t Is one OF
those apparent e~xtravagances which re-
pays tenfold.

generous rutlilng Of like material. They
are most serriceable for street or office
wear. and do not require the constant

As TO prlces-the shot silk for your
silk skirt comes at 81 per yard, and Is
forty-two inches in width. Wool moo
