An entirely new style in lingerie is
most astonishing. One hesitates to
mention it, but it is positively neces-
sary that the town be informed on the /
latest fashions. The fad of the hour
is for black chantilly nightgowns. 1
heard a Topeka woman telling about
company of girls she chaperoned on
a college party trip to a neighboring
town, and how astonished she was to
note that they all took along with
them, in the dead of winter. the
sheerest of sheer nighties. The next
time she escorts a party of girls to a
house party, she will find them wear
ing lace ones, sleeveless and reckless
and, Of course, frightfully expensive.
The price of lingerie moves ALWAYS in
an inverse ratio to its usefulness.
