SHOCKING!
WOMEN’S CLOTHING AND MEN’S i SUITS. There comes a time when modest man opens his bonny blue eyes and awakens to the painful fact that woman is not all she seems. Protests come from Christchurch and other centres against the alleged indecency of certain shop window displays of Women’s Underwear, and demands have been made to have these windows changed. Staggered as he is by this revelation, Joe Bierman suggests that the first thing to do sjiould be to change the underwear and not the windows. Windows as a rule are fixtures, but undergarments are not. “Gone are the spells of warmth-giving wool; gone are the shades of pink flanelette. Woman has shed the lure of her mystery and stands revealed as a creature of ephemeral flimsiness, clad in the giddiness of georgette, and , damned by the curse of crepe de chine,” remarks a well-known English writer. There are unfortunately no frills about Joe Bierman’s suits—no slashed trousers showing the lure of a mauve garter or kindred intimate visions. Joe Bierman suits are good and durable; they are cut conservatively yet in the latest style, and they can be secured for as low as five guineas—just half the price of the productions of other. quality tailors. Call on Joe Bierman at 599 a, Colombo street (his onl}' address), between Tuam an d St Asaph Streets, and give him your order. 6
