Corset and Grace
Provides the Foundation for Well
Fitting Garments.
Season of Vests and Veitees t Fur

sets That are Right
You wouldn't expect to stand firm
If the foundation were foulty. That
Is tho first thought In building a house
n good foundation which Is intended
not only to preserve tho unity of the
building that is to come, but also to
bo tho means of holding It in place.
Later, all the finishing touches can he
added to make the house beautiful.
What la true ot tho house should also
be true of your costuming. Do sure
that the foundation the corset is
right. This is tho beginning, after
ward you can add to It beautiful clothes
for usefulness and adornment
Correct corsets are even more Im
portant this year than ever before, as
serts nn authority. If you havo any
deal re to look ntractlve, and every
woman should have n keen sense of
the viiltie of always looking her best
not only docs the silhouette demand
that there be n good figure beneath,
but tho accessories also demand
that the corset bo well fitting, for this
is n season of vests and vestees, which
will not and cannot look smart or fit
well unless tho underneath fits well.
There is no need those days for any
woman to buy a corset at random or
to wear n corset thnt is in any way un
comfortable, for there Is such a variety
of shapes, sizes and measurements
that, no matter what your need may be,
there Is n corset made to fill your re
quirements. JuMt buying n corset, because It is
made of pretty material is not being
done by women who wish to be well
gowned and comfortable. Such wom
en appreciate the fact that it Is Im
possible to pick up a corset from the
counter and by holding It in the hand
decide that the corset has the correct
lines for her figure.
Tho time spenj In the retail shop,
hnving n corset tried on to determine
If it is the right ono for you, repays a
hundredfold, and every shop nowadays
would fnr rather go to the trouble of
trying on corsets in order to have the
customer content. It Is also a great
ntd in overcoming the return goods
trouble.
Certnln It Is thnt if the start Isn't
right 'the finish can't be what you de

your clothes may be tho foundation

choose your material "on the square."
You see. it has to be 54 by 54. Begin
by cutting out quite a deep square

will, of course, be directly In the cen

the square rfver the head, being sure
to have the two sides .fall In half
across the extended arms. Then seam
the lower sides to form the sleeve

hangs quite loose. If you would fur

Authority for Wide Skirts.
Those who are wearing wide skirts
get their authority from Jeanne Lan
vln, one of the first designers of the
world. She Is the only dressmnker
who Insisted upon the five-yard skirt,
nnd she held to her conviction by
turning out dozens of gathered or
plaited skirts that hang limply to the
figure, but are not In keeping with
the narrow silhouette of the day. She
Is not unpatriotic. She did not uso an
undue amount of wool In these skirts.
She had n few dozen other materials
to handle, nnd she is quite right in in
sisting thnt nil her organdie skirts
should be Ave yards at the hem. Noth

fnstldlous millinery shops. In the
hands of tho milliners, too, these field
flowers have acquired no little smart
ness. Small toques nre sometimes
mado entirely of small flowers, and nt
other times hats of bright-colored
straw are trimmed with these flowers.
Dull Jet bends heavily applied to
the lower edge of flying panels or
