HEY say the merchsnts have
had diflculty in keeping sup-
plied with sumclent amounts
of striped wash silk to meet with
the demand this summer. The high
price ot-much of this silk does not
seem to hinder its ready sale.
The not is that for the woman
who wishes to make summer frocks
at home there is no material that
lends itseitso‘ well to amateur ni—
torts as a good quality wash silk.
By using the ripes running in

silk gives excellent finish.

more slender than her- widest
girth.
Once it was regarded as s sign
of beauty as well as of nobility
and aristocratic heritage to pos-
sess s tapering waist. Poets wrote
sonnets to'slender waists snd odes
to small girdles. Even when tight
lacing wss scorned end only s
