Evening Republican, Volume 21, Number 268, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 27 November 1917 — KIMONO MADE FOR COMFORT. [ARTICLE+ILLUSTRATION]

KIMONO MADE FOR COMFORT.

Kimono means comfort, but not all of these luxurious robes and coats, made in these days of extreme style, are carrying out the meaning of the word. Some of the garments are built so that they make for discomfort, tugging, tight and ill-fitting. A kimono should be loose-fitting, and the charming affair pictured here is represent*tive of what a kimono should be. It is made In a very delicate shade of pale crepe, bound at the neck and bottom with a metal cord of red, gold and silver. At intervals translucent white beads are piaced in the edging.
