used to catch on cotton under
wear and pull with every step?
Well, it doesn't do that any
more. They've learned to make
cotton lingerie so that it's just
as soft and clinging on the skin
side as ever and yet so sort Of
bumpy and rough on the out
side that it won't attract even
a cotton dress! And that was
really all you ever had against
cotton underthingS, now wasn't
it?
Cotton Leads the Race
You haven't yet seen a silk
vest shaped to such a simple
and effective fitted top as the
cotton one we've Sketched at
the left, have you? Here's cot
ton, you see, setting the fashion
pace. The vest has a nice low
back. And the panties to
match, Sketched on the same
figure, have that flat kind of
fitted elastic top that lies so
smoothly, and a double rein
forced crotch.
You can buy these panties or
the vest for about rs cents.
Did YOU know, by the way,
that the vogue for wearing un-
dergarmentS all in one was get
ting to be tremendous? It's
these hard time-saving days we
live in, of course.
They're making a clever new
one, for instance, in that mer.
cerized cotton stitch. We've
sketched the combination Sec
ond from the left.
A marvellous sports garment
quite short and quite low in the
back-but just as likeable for
general wear. The price is only
about $1.00. Any of these three
garments we've described comes
in white or mello, a soft shade
of peach.
LACACASC-SSlu Like ~
Then there's chamoisette.
And such practical sports things
made of it that you'll never
want to go out for golf or ten
mis- again without them. Cham
oisette is absorbent-and ideal
to wear when you're dashing
around taking exercise and get
ting hotter by the minute. Those
brief, yoke-front and fitted, elias
tic-back panties on the girl at
the right, above, are a part of
one Of these "Vigor SETS" along
with the uplift that is cham
oisette, too. That bandeau, by
the way, has non-slip shoulder
straps. Isn't that, alone, reason
enough to buy it? It's just about
soc, and the panties 81. 90.
PantieS Go Briefer
But notice the briefeSt of all
pantieS the girl is holding in
her .handS-the ultra-ultra-ultra,
as pantieS go, brief. You might
think, whats the use of that?"
But we're here to tell you it's
practically indispensable. Cham
oiSette is shadowproof, you
know, and briefs like these are
a big /, help with lounging pa
jamas, now that it's become the
thing to receive all callers in
them. Besides, something of the
kind is necessary with loose
legged bathing suitS-and these
are grand. For regular sports
wear, too, they're simply ideal.
The price is only about rs
cents. And all these chamoisette'
things come in white or black,
so that you can wear them with
light or dark clothes.
ViOgnet Panties
Perhaps, for general wear,
you'd like something Sheerer.
We've sketched that for you,
too, the incest we could find.
At the lower right you'll see a
pantie and a bandeau set made
of exquisite Isle, of imported
quality. In fact, it's an exact
duplicate of those marvellous,
but expensive, French isles. The
pantie has a fitted top and
Vionnet yoke-yes, there are
even Vionnet yokes in panties
very smart! ct means a full
length yoke.) There's a rein
forced crotch and the back rise
is longer than the front, so that
it doesn't pull when you sit
down. The side-fastened uplift
bandeau to match has grosgrain
ribbon shoulder straps. 1t costs
about so cents, and the panties
