NUMBER 204
Distinction in Dress
Wear an American Lady
Corset and you look as if
neither time nor effort had
been spared to make your
corset individually perfect.
American Lady Corsets, so
correctly designed, so perfect-
ly tailored, so faultlessly fit-
ting, confer on the wearer
style, elegance of line and
distinction in dress.
Why not ask our corsetiere
to show you "your" particu-
lar American Lady model ?
The price of American
Lady Corsets is no greater
than that of ordinary cor-
sets.
CLEAN UP.
Plant flowers and make ar-
rangements to connect with the
sewer. This is Clean-1 p \\ eek.

On a poll of the delegates they really

Harris delegates had probably a two
thirds majority, but when tyros in
politics go up against these old stag

morning. The only wonder i,* th

County Chairman Gresham called
