The stimulating effect of being be- comingly gowned you have experi- enced if you think about clothes — and is there a woman who doesnt? She may even be a “new" woman of the radical type , but she gives her clothes consideration , never- theless.

“Peg O’ My Heart” is a lithesome lass, due to her pliant corseting, whether ^ she’s dressed up or not.

There are two things about a corset absolutely essential to your well- being—shape and comfort. Elasticity results from comfort as well as shaping —you must step off buoyantly, breathe easily, and be able to bend with freedom. Warner's Rust-Proof Corsets are accurately graded, and they are made of fabrics so soft and pliantly boned that the

form with the first fitting takes on the corset contour.

A Warner Corset is figure-making — It does not cover figure defects, but cor- rects them.

Wherever Warner Corsets are sold—and they are practically everywhere—they are guaran- teed to shape fashionably, and to fit comfortably

Cookery is an Art

Cookery is probably the most ancient art in the world.

From the legend of Eden to the present day, people have had to eat.

And so highly has the culinary art been esteemed s in past epochs that chefs have been knighted for a pudding and raised to the highest eminence for a sauce.

The Claridge seeks neither knighthood nor politi- cal advancement, but only that appreciation s which is the right and due of culinary compe- tence.

It is well that you should know where good cook- ing is to be found.

It is well that you should know that a chop or a chicken supreme, a modest meal or a ten-course repast, will be served to your taste at the Claridge.
