THE SUNDAY OBEGCKNTAff, PORTLAND, SEPTEMBER 28, 1502, 1& . : , Olds, Wotman & King Fifth and Washington Olds, Woytman & King Royal Wotceste Corsets The most important consideration in the set of a woman's dress is in the corset and the modeling, making, fitting, and in fact, wearing of this garment, like all present-day practices, is now reduced to an exact science. A corset may he elegant and shapely itself and yet utterly unfitted to certain styles of figure. The Royal Worcester Corset Company understands this and while they manufacture corsets in over J50 different styles, suited to all figures, they have learned that unless the proper one is fitted to a form, half its effect is lost. In order that wearers and sellers of their matchless product may fully 'comprehend the importance and advantage of a properly fitting corset, they send a practical, ex perienced fitter, thoroughly familiar with the make and cut of every corset they manufacture, over the country to give practical demon strations of the art of wearing and fitting a corset. An Expert Fitter. This lady, Miss Heintzelman, will he .here Octohcr 2 and 3, and will give practical talks on corset wearing and demonstrations of fitting at our corset department on those dates, full particulars of which will he given later. . This is an opportunity the ladies of Portland should not disregard. The Dorothy Dodd $3' Shoe Price is always a consideration in purchasing; whether buyers have much or little to spend, they desire to secure their money's worth. With the utmost confidence can we assure our customers that in purchasing the Dorothy Dodd shoe for $3.00 they do secure their money's worth, and more; not only in quality, but in style, shapeliness and com fort. In our judgment this is the crowning success of the day in a medium-priced shoe, a conclusion that was reached by us only after a most thorough examination of the con struction of the shoe, the materials of which it is made and the methods and standing of its manufacturers. The leathers of which it is made are soft and durable; it is carefully shaped after the natural lines of the foot, and beautifully and elegantly finished. Ladies interested in this sort of foot covering are cordially invited to call at our shoe department and examine it; and if they are not interested we are sure an examination of the shoe will create an interest in it.
