The Frolaset Is the One Ideal
Corset That Laces in Front
Attractiveness in clothes is more often dependent upon the
comvttios of the corset than upon the costliness of the costume.
An ill-tittina: and poorly-constructed corset will mar even the
most exquisite gown.
The woman who follows style tendencies usually knows the
kind of corset to buy. She no longer buys according to size, but
I rather according to design and adaptability to her individual
, type of figure.
The Frolaset corse? is the one ideal corset that laces in front,
and we heartily commend it to well-dressed women because we
believe in selling the best merchandise that it is possible to buy.
If you are uot familiar with the Frolaset will vqu not permit
' us to show you some of its now models.
Prices range from 53.50 to $15.00.

Bleachers' Table Linen
Damages in a Sale of
Great Importance-
Double Damask of Extra Quality
at 69c and 89c
If the European war lasts many mouths, as it is
almost certain to do, it is quite possiblcthat there may
be an entire cessation of manufacturing in the coun
tries effected. Close t<» eighty per cent, of the flax
that is used in Ireland and Scotland, in the making of
linens, comes from Russia, whose supply has alreadv
been cut off. In the matter of yarns about fifty per
cent, of all that is used in Ireland is procured from
France. Belgium and Bohemia.
Th» outlo is not bright for another such sale of Bleachers'
Damages as we arc now holding, so it will well repay every
housekeeper to look to her linen needs.

This dosen't moan that the comedy of

I The voices of these four thrillers are

j songs and their tomfoolery is irresis
tible. As a (indie these artists are
j singing a medley of foreign national
anthems, and for this number they don
military uniforms representing four of
the nations now at war. Of course, the
