BUT 11 I'UUNEU ML A Sale of, Direct From Paris, Hand made French Underwear If the linking of the word “Sale” with Paris Hand-Made Underwear seems the height of incon gruity, perhaps, its because you’ve come to think of these dainty creations as a sort of secluded, exclu sive and limited branch of the Muslin Underwear family that comes out to be shown only on very spe cial occasions. Lingerie kept in reserve for the delectation of the brides-to-be. But this Muslin Underwear department has grown to proportions that admit of greater things. It is able to go direct to Paris, see, select and then have Paris come direct to it without the fingers of any New York house in the affair. But as the stock reaches a point where “Special Sales” are possible there’s no lapse in attention tion to the things that make French hand-made Underwear the envy and object of admiration th? world over- daintiness and fineness. These things are little short of marvelous in their artistic conceptions. How a bit of white Mousseline Lace and Ribbon can be transformed into anything so ethereally lovely, as some of the specimens are, is, to put it mildly, passing strange. We want you to see them—and we know of no more magnetic way than to couple a general reduc tion of prices with your natural curiosity to see something that was actually made in Paris. These prices for a few days only.
