Coreels are better value than foreign makes. The forekn article is lower in value because o-f high exchange rates, whereas there is no exchange handicap with the British B. and C. Coreets. Why pay out money in exchange—buy B. and C. Coreste, and pay for the corset only.

The frocking in "Irene," now running at the 'lnertre Royal, is far ahead ; of anything that has been seen in musi- j cal comedy in this country. It is beau-: tiful rather than startling, and it is obvious that a master hand has been at work in the designing, as well as the executing of the many lovely i frocks worn by the principals and the' chorus. A variety of delicate shades are used with spicndid effect in the: dresses of the chorus, while rich em-' broideries aro the rule. j As "Irene," the slum girl, who be-' came tho best-dressed woman in New; York. Miss Dorcthy South is naturally afforded opportunity to wear somo <-x-' quisitc clothes. Her "Alice-blue" gown proves to be of the most alluring and delicate shade of what we know :is "Love in the mist" blue. It is composed of a diaphanous tulle, and veils an underdress of silver lace. Over it Mi 93 South wears a coat of beautiful peach pink chiffon taffetas, enhanced with deft touches of blue. Her upturned hat in a slightly deeper shade, is

massed with shaded ostrich plumes. Jn the last act, she discards a cloak of I white taillers ermine, to show under-! ncflth a ravishing confection of opnh's-j cent sequins sewn thickly on tulle in whit-e, and a delicate shade of pinn.! The shoulder draperies which adorn the' corsage, are just the newest thing m' sartorial effe-.ts. Miss Marion Earle, and Miss Peggy Ma-kmcy also weari very attractive froehs in the closing seei'ic. The one appears in cameo pink. georgette and taffetas charmingly corn-; bined, while the other wears a sleeveless gown of white tulle, enibroiderd thickly. in silver and blue, and mounted on aiii underdress of palest blue.
