Prinlce,ass Petticoats.

Never heard Of them before? Not
unusual that you haven't. for they are
very new, and only shown by one or
two shops, so that their fame is not
yet vide:
Now that princess slips have almost
replaced petticoats in our wardrobes,
many women-the slender women es-
pecfally-haye another problem con-
fronting them. They find the slip not
quite enoIgh-though they hesitate
about adding more bulk and thus look
Ing less sylph,lIke, they do not want
their skirts to be transparent. Too
often the frock is OF some soft, dia-
phanous texture and the princess slip
little better, for 1t is usually Of sheer
silk or batiste.
The princess petticoat is to wear un-
der the slip. It is straight narrow,
white skirt, that adds little fulness to

Our Object L Thi.

II may seem better for us to sell six ounces
for cents than sixteen ounces for 10 cents.
But it isn't Our interest lies in making this
milk economical. 1t should completely dis.
place milkmans milk.
Van Camps Milk serves every purpose fully
twice better than raw milk You will use
more of ii when you learn these facts, and
learn the economical can.
Then the usual milk sold in Scent cans 10
often vastly inferior milk.
So we urge you to buy the l0-cent cans and
get the full worth of your money.
And don't buy from day to day, as you
bought mk,nans milk. Buy a case at
time and get the case discount. Then you
will have the best milk in America for less than
poor milk costs.
