II seems to be well established that this

Love of luxury joining forces with
prosperity, lures women into such
lovely extravagances as this exquisite
undergarment. 1t makes no pretense
of being practical and is presented
without excuse, except that "If eyes
were made for seeing-then beauty is
its own excuse for being" 1t is COM
bination of pink georgette crepe and is
chiefly interesting to the average,
sensible women as showing how the
finest and most expensive undergar-
ments are made. 1t is natural that the
designer working with such exquisite
materials should put into them the
best effort of which she is capable, and
any new convenience, or trick of trim
ming or harmony of colors will bios
, som out under the inspiration of ex-
quisite materials. All these reappear
In practical and dainty garments made
of fine batiste which every woman
may have.
The combination shown in the pic
ture utilities plated georgette in flesh
color, and rather wide Val lace and
the body and skirt are Joined by lace
beading backed by band of georgette.
The skirt is made up of alternating
long and short panels, the bottom of
each one finished with lace. Narrow
satin ribbon plays the most important
part in making this combination dis
tinctive and beautiful. II forms double

Care of the Shoes.

Shoes have scared in price even
faster and higher than other necessi-
ties, and shoe men tell us that pros
poets for their coming down to any
thing like reasonable prices are not at
all cheerful The one good thing that
will come out of this experience for
the average woman is that she will
learn to take better care of her foot
wear and make it last longer, and that
she will use more judgment in buying
her shoes. The big per cent of Grip
pied feet among American women is
reflection on their good sense. They
have the best-looking shoes in the
world at their service, but will not
learn that it is fatal to cramp the feet.
The everyday walking shoe, like the
tailored suit, is the most important
item In the selection of footwear. Two
pairs of these of substantial leather
and comfortable heels must be worn
alternately and maintained in good re-
pair, for the sake of appearance and
economy. Women who are expert
enced in buying get two pairs on the
same last at one time, and two pairs
of high shoes with one of low ought TO
see one through a year for street
wear. Before they are put on the
feet they should be REINFORCED at the
heels, If the wearer is inclined to wear
them off at one side. The point is
that they must be maintained in first

STEEL REQUISITIONED
 BY U. s. FOR BUILDING FOUR NEW WARSHIPS

WASHINGTON. May 15-Acting un- der authority conferred by war emerg- ency legislation, the navy department has placed an order for what amounts to a reQuisition for 14,OOO tons of steel with the Carnegie Steel company. The steel is to be used in starting construction of four battle ships, work on which must be begun before July 1.
 Decision to requisition the steel was reached today at a navy department conference at which it was found that the bids submitted yesterday for the 14000 tons were the same as bids which previously had been submitted and which were based on prices agreed upon between the steel manu- lecturers and the now abandoned in- dustrial board of the department of
Bisbee daily review., 1919-05-16

bids were rejected on the grounds that they showed no indications of competition.
 The order, according to an an nouncement issued by Acting Secre- tary Roosevelt. was placed cat a ten tative price subject to later adjust ment' and explained that the Carnegie company was the only bidder submit ting estimates on the entire order.
 The announcement said:
 To-day the navy placed with the Carnegie Steel company an order for about 14,000 tons of steel required for beginning construction before July l, 1919, of battleships 49, 50, 51 and 52 ordered constructed at New York, Norfolk and Mare Island navy yards.
 "The order was placed at tenta- tive price subject to later adjustment after further conferences with the Car negie Steel company officials.
 That company was the only com plete bidder on the entire schedule of requirements. By placing the or der with one company the navy felt assured of better service and a more convenient and economical inspec. tion."
