Having ascertained that the Nashville.

The trouble with most women anyway is that they buy gowns by the wholesale, and, of course, as they can't wear them out several are left over in shabby con- di.ion. You never see a Frenchwoman doing that sort of thing. She will have three costumes let us say-one for morning. one for half dress and the other for grand occasions. Each costume will be perfect in every detail and she lets 1t go at that. We. buy half hundred fripperies and never look fresh.
 Don't you think the Frenchwoman's way is the best?
