The government is one of the best de-
velopers of business in the country,
and men VINO have attained eminence
in their work under its supervision
are in demand outside. This condi-

Thus, chief clerks and deputies from
the various divisions under the con-

those engaged in the importing or ex-

GOOD FEATURE IN LINGERIE
New Undergarments That Can Be
laurdered Quickly and Easily
Anywhere.

When you see come of the soft.
clfngy and entirely adorable crepe lin
ger1e which is shown in the French
shops now you will simply throw dis
erection to the winds. take out the bill
you were fondly cherishing for some
thing or other and have the temptress
who IN this case is the little sales
lady with the queer accent-wrap up
your pet piece. Then you'll hurry home
to TRY 1t on" revel in the possession
of It and linger over the luxury of it's
dainty laces and fascinating ribbon
bows.
And really you won't be so indis-
Greet after all, especially If you are
girl without the privilege of a home,
because the crepe lingerie doesn't re-
quire laundress to be made fresh
and clean. Usually it is combined with
real torchon or Irish crochet, both of
which can be pulled into shape with
out the aid of an iron.
Many girl who travels has found II
impossible to crafty her longing for
dainty underwear because of the un-
certainties Of laundering. After hay
ing it returned few times torn and
spoiled, she has settled down to plain
garments devoid of any of the irresis-
tible little feminine touches. For her
the silk crepe idea will be a positive
Joy, for she can retire to her hotel
bathroom and, with the assistance of
a cake of good, pure soap, may restore
her lingerie to its pristine glory and
loneliness.
The new garments come in every
weight from the heaviest silk crepe to
the flimsiest crepe de chine, built into
nightgowns, chemise, corset covers,
combinations and petticoats. They are
shown IN white and colors and many
are deliberately embroidered in SELF
tone silk
Another idea for the traveller or the
girl away from homo is the Italian silk

teal has it proven that it has been ex-
