American nation is quite CONVINCED
that we get our most indecent under
clothe, from French originations' SO
there you are.
One fact. however, stands out be-
yond all argument. which is that the
American woman wears as few under
CLOTHES as the law permits Now that
she has reduced them to silk, she looks
more snake like than ever.
All the women Of America struggle
with the corset cover more than with
any other garment, and, therefore, the
shops reap a small fortune in origina-
tions along that line
