inherent modesty should lead him to turn
back to Marion county half of that exorbi-
tant fee and TO the state treasury some tens

record authorizes him to stand up and de-

The Nearest to
Corset Perfection.

Seven years ago we began keep
ing the Royal Worcester Corsets
and the sales every year have
shown a large increase. Buyers
are always pleased and advise their
friends, many of whom also try
them. Ask any woman who has
ever worn Royal Worcester Cor
sets what she thinks about them
and her answer will be, They
please me in every way"
And why should they not? They
are as near corset perfection as
human skill can make them;
moulding themselves to every
curve of the body, yet without op-
preston. We carry them in dif-
erent lengths of waist, different
lengths of hip, different weights
and different materials, colors and
weights.
