For Futurist is far more than a garment that provides a marked freedom and grace of movement. It is ex- quisitely feminine — dainty, sheer, beautiful, soft, form-fitting, and wondrously comfortable. Indeed, Futurist is far beyond compare as a garment of ultra- refinement in its every detail. Futurist is made in a wide range of select materials— Batiste, Nainsook, French Batiste, Marquisette, Mull Combination, Silk Mull, Crepe Combination, Jap Combination, Crepe de Chine, Jap Silk; in flesh and 2l ; SHEA & BURKE 41 Main Street FuneralDirectors were then passed around the jury for them to look at.

The. attorney had him look at the Lennen signatures on the savings bank orders and the signature on the letter which is an exhibit.

Buttons are correctly spaced to pre- vent gaping at the bust. These and many other dis- tinctive features appeal to the feminine fancy.
