1t looks as II the time were not far

for silk has invaded the realm Of cot
ton and is flourlshing there astonish-
ingly. Just as the silk stocking Is not
looked upon now as luxury but as
necessity of good dressing, and its use
enormously increased, so silk under
garments are making place for them
selves. Women find them desirable be-
cause they are fine and they prove to
be as dainty and as durable as fine
batiste or other delicately woven cot
tons. And the sheen and "feel" of silk
are insidious--it Is the easiest thing
In the world to cultivate the silk habit
and next to impossible to break IT..
The shops are showing silk under
clothes that are moderately priced
along with more silk undergarments
that are high priced. But price means
nothing to the girl of today--if she
has ito buy the thing she wants
when she wants 1t. There is a popular
and growing demand for silk I'M

wanted garments will be supplied In
increasing numbers and that the prices

The silk most used for undergar-
