just as long as line is the most im- portant thing about dress.
The designing of thead garments has become a fine, art and every year they seem to be more attrae tive both to look at and to wear, and to be less obviously "stays."
The boning of an earlier period has been largely replaced by skilful cutting, and strengthening, and by the use of cleverly shaped insets of surgical elastic. This is particular-);

Some of them are made of double eripe de chine, others of a thick milanese, satin or broche, and nearly all are lace trimmed. Being boneless they wash as easily as any other undergarment.

The girl with the really slender figure can dispense entirely With a corset in the summer time if she wishes, and wear a suspender belt and brassiere of both of which she will find an excellent selection in Lane, Crawford's. The suspen der belts are made of similar mate-ming that proves becoming to many rials to the sports girdles, and are women because it gives a safter also laced edged but have only a fine. narrow band of elastic at the back and are nowhere more than six inches wide.
The branierea vary from the shaped garments of brocké for the full figure, to little banda of lace and ribbon, shaped by darts, for the slender girl. One very charm- ing example is made of double geor- gette with a net top, and there is a wide variety of Ince and net brassieres for all figures.

They, most of them, have a side front fastening and four suspenders on narrow elastic, i
