Stany stout women find the corset with
the front lacing more comfortnhle than
those which lace nt the back. Uoth have
thelc good features and It depends entirely
upon personal opinion which Is the better
suited to your needs.
Tho slender woman should wear only a
lightly boned corset or a girdle. She has
no superfluous llcsh that must be molded
Into lines of beauty, nnd only requires a
certain amount of support The corset
made entirely of silk elastlo or the corset
of lightweight material with Just aufnclent
boning to keep It In shape Is the right
model for her.
Mothers should be careful In selecting

$3 Sounds Too Good to
Be. True, But
Shoe merchants have been telling you that they have been
forced to raise prices in order to give good values. It's true
every word of it. But here we are advertising black shoes
at $3, claiming they are well made, fashionable, warranted
to wear. It sounds almost too good to be true now, doesn't
it but
Here Is the Proof of Value
Last spring black kidskin sold for 22c a foot today
it is 40c. Calfskin sold for 21c today it is 48c; in fact,
every material used in a shoe is costing double what it did
last spring. BUT LAST SPRING we placed our reservation
order for these black shoes AT THE OLD PRICES to be
delivered this fall.
Wc could have raised our price to $5, and still under
sell all Philadelphia, but we preferred to give YOU the
advantage of our foresight. We preferred to maintain our
reputation of giving "greatest value at lowest prices
always."
