York is brought to Warrington
periodically.
Nine. Barboure and her living
models are here for three days. the
autumn fashion event de luxe.
This morning the Palais Royal
audience gathered in numbers in
the prettily fitted up little irnpro-
vised theater adjoining the corset
department and learned Of many
things about corsets that they never
dreamed Of before.
Nine. Barboure, as sweet and
allurine as Nine. Butterfly her
self, darkly handsome and attired in
a Eray-flowered kimono. was the
source Of this corset knowledge. She
stood on the little stage and for
half an hour told her audience all
the things they didn't know about
corsets-not just how to buy cor
sets, but how to wear them, too.
