and a corset is only successful when it
is the right corset to the individual
figure.
The corset should be worn sutri-
GENTLY large to permit the wearer to
sit in comfort. The corsets called for
the most extensively is the one with
a medium high bust, slight curve to
the waistline, the skirt modified in
length with a little more roundness to
the hip, but the back maintaining
the straight effect.
The use of firm material and mod
crate boning is employed. Flesh color
and deep pink are favorites even in
the conservative corsets. Science has
proven that the support OF a firm,
comfortable corset is an aid to the
preservation Of health. Broche is the
leader in materials. Many attractive
styles. both in cotton and silk. besides
combinations of cotton and silk, are
shown.

combinations as red and green. gray and

most widely shown.

corsets find new devotees every day.
They are considerd of especial value
for developing youthful figures, be-
cause the pose of a growing girl is
rendered more correct, the hips being
thrown back in their natural position,
and the chest raised so that the body
is carried in correct balance.
Brasseres are more in favor than
ever. The new styles of bust cOnfiners
include Tricot, silk jersey, crepe de

The wearing of the bassieres pre-
sents a break at the junction OF the

accentuate the rigdc at the top of the
corset just as good as one hides many

in combination with linen and fancy

models of all-over embroidery finished

With all you have read, heard and in
ferred about the scarcity of dyestuffs
this year it may be hard for you tp
reconcile this situation with the many
will see in the mems haberdashery for
spring.
However, there is logical explanation
forthcoming for this condition which need
not be detailed here. What care you, so
long as your desires for smart fixings
are grstified and your tendencies for high
colors are allowed to run riot.
Neckwear and shirt silks come largely
from France, China and japan, which
nations seem to have thus far taken care
of the color situation. American silk
manufacturers are using to a great ex-
tent American logwood dyes in the
cheaper grades of silks, and while these
dyes are not enduring enough for use in
clothing and wooden fabrics, they are
lasting enough to serve the life of an
ordinary tie or the less expensive mer-
cerized shirt silks.
So for this season, at least, you are
provided for because all OF these silk
fabrics are sufficient 10 the popular needs
in both coloring display and durs bility.
shirts.
In madras, cheviot and percale shirts
two-tone effects are the most widely
SHOWN, and IN these the patterns are OF
wide stripes on white foundation. Black
stripes from one-quarter to a full inch
In width are shown and recommended
because black is one color this year that
Is wholly dependable. For color ranges
in these patterns. blues, garnet, puppies,
browns, fans and greens are also shown.
Small floral and conventional effects are
also well placed in the best displays.
Solid tones are slowly receding in pop
ularty; probably because the shirt
makers have eschewed these as to prod
iGal in the consumption Of any one tone.
SILK shirts also run to wide stripes though
they are more variegated in color blend
ing. All-over embroidery schemes are
also popular and some OF these show the
embroidered effect as q selftone on the
