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 utilizes 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 div
tinctive and beautiful. 1t forms double
shoulder straps extended into ends
that are laced at the front and looped
over forming ties with little satin-cov-
cred pendant balls to finish them. This
Iacing of ribbon joins the ends of the
long panels in the skirt, the tied ends
hanging befow the knee.
Very beautiful and luxurious but
more practical garments are made of
crepe de chine I'm good quality. Hand

Care of the Shoes.

Shoes have scared in price even

poets for their coming down to any
thing like reasonable prices are not at
all cheerful. The one good thing that

the average woman is that she will
learn to take better care of her foot

she will use more judgment in buying
her shoes. The big per cent of Grip

Il reflection on their good sense. They
have the best-looking shoes in the
world ut their service, but will not
