SALVATION FOR WOMANKIND

Mrs. Ruth Carson of Boston, wearing the new “Penelope” gown, of which she is the designer. This new gown, which is about to take New York by storm, is claimed to be the salvation for womankind, coupled with a dozen pockets. This gown is adaptable to changes according to the function it is desired for. By simple devices it is transformed from its serviceable character to a modest afternoon or evening gown. There are but two seams —those under the arm —and the lower sleeves are detachable. The gown is comfortable, wears everlastingly, and has everlasting style.
