WOMEN will require even
more careful corseting than
formerly because of the tenden
cy toward close fitting effects
in costuming over the corseted
part of the form.
There are new models, back
apd frdnt lace designs, for all
figures. Materials are of exqui
site patterns, and together with
neat trimmings, make Warners
one of the most attractive of
1917 lines.
