ADJUSTABLE TUNIC IS HANDY

Affords Opportunity for Change and Keeps Fresh If Laid Away In v . Tissue Paper. Adjustable tunics of very shadowy and filmy white lace are a part of the winter wardrobe of nearly every woman who can afford them. Complementary to them is a collection of princess or Empire slips, in various colors of satin or crepe. The tunics are unlined below the waistline, and the upper part has a lining of. white illusion net, which, while very * strong. Is almost invisible even at closd range. With these two sets of tunics and foundations very elaborate govlns can be evolved, ail that is . needed to complete each costume being a girdle and the übiquitous cluster of artificial flowers to match the underpart. This separation of tunic and foundation, besides affording opportunity for variety, has other advantages as well. Hie tunic can be cleaned and pressed when necessary, and can be laid away properly on a shelf, with folds of tissue paper between, after each wearing. Lace dresses, waists and tunics spon become stringy and lose all the effectiveness of their pattern when hung up. When laid away with tissue paper they keep fresh much lodger, as the patterns are not pulled out of shape and the paper absorbs all dampness *’***>
