Corset covers are also provided with
ribbons. Something new, is the bolero
corset cover, which is illustrated to-
day. It is also to be noted that many
OF the new corset covers end at the
waist, thus doing away with all unnec-
essary: fullness about the hips. Night.

vored most Of all by fashionable wom-
en-. They are very dainty, elegant and
comfortable '. - -%.. 49,.

of solid comfort which can be gotten

does in summer. When she, returns
from business or a pleasure expedi-
ton, which has taken her out beneath
the rays of the broi1ing sun, it is an
inexpressible comfort and relief to- don

ese ideal still prevails in the construc-
ton of the fashionable lounging gown.
