W hen Mrs. Marvin Fits
A Corset—
it is fitted much as it would be were you in one of those smart
little shops along the Rue de la Paix.
In the first place Mrs. Marvin has the knowledge of cor
sets and of the ills that flesh is heir to, she knows what cor
set is best for this figure, what is best for that figure.
And then she has here the many models of those superb
re-
LaVida and W. B. Corsets
fashioned to the style lines of this season—and they are very
different from those of any other season.
Would it not be well, then, to allow Mrs. Marvin to fit
you now, before you get too busy on other things'?
A moment now means a season of comfort and satis
faction.
These are fine days
for visiting this store.
Remember how rainy
and mean the weather
wasas Christmas drew
nearer last year? And
weather, just as his
tory, sometimes
peats itself.
The fine stocks of
jewelry and leather
goods and Christmas
novelties are in splen
did array right now.
They offer sugges
tions that will have
been accepted before
the last rush.
A minute now is
worth several later on
—to you and to us.
