"tt>hiihS1 - - ~
Corsets are not just
necessaries, they are acquisi-
tions. Nearly all are in deli
cate shades of pink. Pink
satin, pink brocades, pink
striped and dotted cottons
and lovely peach blow silks
and tricot which are so light
that they seem as though
they were nothing, yet corset
art makes them serve the
purpose perfectly.
No longer are corsets in
the Eighteenth Century tor
ture list. No woman is will
ing to be made uncomfort-
able by a corset. There are
too many things to do in life
to be rendered uncomfort-
able by the clothes one
wears. 1t is the business OF
the Wanamaker Corset Sa-
Ions to find the corset which
will bring out the best lines
of the figure naturally and
comfortably.
If a corset shop has only
a limited number of models
the customer is at a great
disadvantage Her figure
may require a corset quite
impossible to fit normally.
She runs the risk of being
sold an entirely wrong model
or she may be forced to pay
for expensive alterations
or she may be told that there
is nothing ready-made to
suit her and that she must
have a made-to-order corset.
Such a condition of affairs
is impossible in the Wana-
maker Corset Salons. Think
of 300 different corsets being
at your service. The best
work of the best French and
American corsetieres. These
300 models are not chosen
simply to have a large vari-
ETY.. Nearly each one is dis
tinct in line and suitable for
some one figure rather than
for another.
A little pink satin negligee
corset is practically only a hip
continer; some women like it for
morning wear; others use it for
horseback riding and swimming.
often it is found useful to wear
with filmy decollete gowns.
A silk tricot corset is for the
woman whose figure is so slender
that she hardly requires a corset,
but who wants a little something
for support. 1t is so pretty that
she cannot resist wearing it.
Paris Lillian corsets are quite
u-nnHnY-fnl for oil
average and large women. There
are distinctive models for the
woman who has small hips but is
large above the waist. Other
models are developed for the
woman who has large hips and is
small above the waist. Still others
are for the woman who is pro-
portionately large all over. Aside
from the quality of their line
they are quite the most artistic
Paris corsets we have had since
the war. AS most New York
women know, Lillian corsets are
exclusive with the Wanamaker
Store in America. One of the
new spring models is of a fas-
cnating silk of about the consis-
tency of a flexible kidskin. It
seems to be nothing vet it is
sufficiently substantial to sheathe
the body and coax it into the
fashionable silhouette.
Some women who have worn
very low corsets find that they
now need something longer in
order to wear the new straight
narrow gowns. Two models of
these extra long straight corsets
are among the Paris Lillians. =,
