Miss jane Nysrtrom, 714 Central ave- nue, Wilmette, gave a bridge-Iuncheoiq Wednesday afternoon at Shawnee Country club and:a, trousseau shower for Miss Gladys White, who îs to be imairried this Saturday., Among the newer shops in Winnetka kis the "Lingerie* Moderne" at 571 Lin- coin avenue, which had its first birth- -day last March under the guidance of Mrs. Charles .D. Altschul and Mrs. *Sadie Powell. The shop was originated by Mrs. Altschuùl and 'Mrs. 'Powell in response to what they thought -was a definite need of the women in Win- netka. Ample parking facilities,. and the homelike atmosphere of the Lingerie Moderne have made, the 'ýshop espe- cially attractive to mothers of small1 chil dren since they may bring the chuI- dren with them and feel that they. are welcoxeý.

For that reason, perhaps, the window.s of the Lingerie Moderne are -appointed with the taste and smartness displayed in 'shops where one doesn't dare look at the price tag. Yet there moderate prices p'revail. -In preparing to condiict the shop, Mrs. Altscbul.and àtrs. Powell studied with a famous corsetiere so tbat they could fit.their corsets to a cus- tomer's figure.

They rarely call, for "out-sizes" or extra large garmenits., Either they reduce their size after moving to the north shore or.- have their undfergarnients made at homie. For a few customners, the proprietors of the Lingerie Moderne buy under garmen ts to order. Sometimes ail the uÛderwear. for a trouss 'eau, wilI.1)e assenibled ,there and either.
