Lingerie holds the first and foremost

appreciation of daintiness both indicate
the soul of an artist. and woman

thing very unlovely in the peculiar

no need for it in these days, for dainty

The reign of the ruffle has not quite

simple black or white tulle is largely

lions bristling with bows. lace and rib
bon are decidedly in the minority.
Tulle is. however. so ethereal that the
sirnple rufffe will inevitably be costly
in the long run. and, once soiled or it's
crispness gone, it is a mere rag, while
the expensive ruffie may acquire new
life at the hands of the chemical clean

for carriage wear, and this probably
accounts for so many ruffles having
