SUIT ERERYBODYi

Those of US who are lmping along in a dumb, footess
way cropping for light on opaque problems are profoundly CRATE
full to the Paterson Call" Like a flash of genius it has
that great puzzle, the excise question. While the
of us were hopelessly bewildered trying to locate both the
Republican and Democratic positions, the "Call" turned on its
search1isht and lol everything became clear. The darkness
fed, the doubt dissolved. Certainty followed sure-sightedness and
our troubles were at an end.

DAINTY UNDERWEAR is EASY TO

Trying On and Fitting, Sc Necessary
for "Outside" Garments, Have No
Place in the Fashonng OF
Fine Lingerie.

For those who have the time and
are fond OF sewing, the making OF fine
underwear is really "A most delightful
and fascinating employment, Unlike
making frOcks, blouses and such out
side" garments, which are apt to pre-.
sent good many difficulties In the
way of fitting and the adjustment of
the trimmings, fine underwear merely
requires dainty workmanship and
neat sewing, as the fitting is of the
simplest and with the aid Of good
pattern, is hardly considered
OF course. the tops of pGtticoats
yoke bands, etc, are best adjusted
