Peek-aboo Waists In Vogue Again
Many Designed fol
Comfort.

The hot weather of the past few days
has brought back to US the peek-aboo
waist in all its perforated glory. These
waists are worn in Salt Lake in large
numbers. This is no reference to the
size of the waists worn by Salt Lake
women. They are made, the waists, in
countless styles. Collars are worn and
these, too, are made of insertion and
other perforated material. Salt Lake
dressmakers say one summer waist out
of two ordered is peek-aboo. Those not
made a la peek-aboo are intended for
evening wear. Peek-aboo waists should
be worn i'm town. They are not intend
ed for camping out in the hills. The
deluded maid who imagineS pee-aboo
waist will add to the pleasure of tramp
ing in the hills learns that sunburn is
as bad as lotion advertisements make
it out to be. The song, LET Little
Sunshine In was not written as adj
vice to peek-aboo waist girls. The only
consolation left to the maiden who
wears a peek-aboo waist out fishing, is
weekly pittance of $40 and stand in
the sideshow labeled 1.-The Leopard
Lady" Everything pleasant has its
shade of the unpleasant. Charity
prompts the man who sees the peek
aboo waist woman trying to slap the
life out of Bill Mosquito, located some
where in the center of her back, to turn
his head and admire the glow of the
setting sun. If there is no setting sun
handy any old sun will do. Under the
microscope mosquitoes tusk looks
like two-sided saw. That's the way
it feels to the girl in the peek-aboO
waist. Aside from mosquitoes and prud-
ish people peek-aboo waist fiends enjoy
nothing but strained breezes and COM
fort while the mercury bubbles in the
thermometer. The maid with the
| dreamy eyes is forgotten when the maid
| in the peek-aboo waist trips through
the sun and over sizzling pavements in
the hot old summer time.
With peek-aboo waists come mosQui-
toes Mosquitoes are like small boys,
always Johnnie on the spot when a
feast is in sight Peek-aboo waists are
worn for comfort. 1t is so comforting
to know that you are not alone. And
when you wear peek-aboo waist you
are never alone. Mr.. and Mrs. Flea with
Johnnie Flea and Mr.. Mosquito with
Mrs. Mosquito and daughter Gertie
call frequently upon the girl with the
peek-aboo waist. Any material will do
for a peek-aboo waist. Take a flour
sack if you have no linen, beat it until
ii is soft, then lay it on the floor. Walk
over it several times with hOb-nailed
boots. This will make a good begin
ming. If it is not peek-abOo'ey enough
after this treatment hang it on a
clothes line, load a shotgun with B.. b.
buckshOt and use the thing for a target
for an hour This method never fails
When thoroughly perforated cut and
make into any style waist you desire.
Peek-aboo waists are comforta BILE
things. The man or woman who in
vented them, unfortunately, died before
our time and missed getting a Carnegie
medal. The warm blasts of July and
August do not touch the maiden with
the peek-aboO waist. The waists strain
the breeze. Men envy the dainty miss
comfortably clad in a cool appearing
p. a. b. waist. Mesh and net shirts are
manufactured for men, to be sure but
what comfort do these afford him when
he is forced to don closely woven suits
A million hearts will hold in undying
regard and million tongues will speak
forever the praises of the tailor who
! invents something for men as comfort
able as a peek7aboO waist. The man
