Of course the Proper Corset must have the Proper Fitting 
There is as much, if not more, in the proper fitting of the 
corset as in the buying of it. This season of long and 
slender figure lines both should come under the super- 
vision oJ an experienced corsetiere. 
In this season’s fashions each figure must be treated as 
individual to get the best results. You will find in con- 
Wear MERODE (hand 
finished) Underwear 
nection with our corset shop a staff of experienced corset- 
ieres well up in the fine points of their art and capable of 
choosing not only the right corset, but to give it the right 
fitting—giving to each customer individual attention. 
Blanche Bates at the Hollis 
Whenever the name of David 
Belasco precedes an attraction it is 
a beacon of assurance that the pres- 
entation is as perfect as brains, en- 
ergy and capital can consummate, 
and whatever he does, he does thor- 
oughly and accurately. This has 
been evidenced with lifelike fidelity 
upon every occasion a Belasco star 
comes to Boston, and another expos- 
ition of his wonderful technique is 
assured Monday night at the Hollis 
street theatre when this popular and 
brilliant star, Blanche Bates, will in- 
augurate a brief two weeks engage- 
ment in her immensely successful 
comedy ‘‘Nobody’s Widow,’’ a de- 
liciously clever composition that ran 
for eight months in New York last 
season, 
The central figure of this farcical 
romance, as it is designated in the 
advertising, is a keenly sensitive 
and dangerously attractive Ameri- 
can woman, ‘‘Roxana Clayton’’ by 
name, who goes to Europe, falls in 
love for the first time in her life and 
precipitately marries this man of her 
choice. Before the honeymoon has 
risen above the wedding hour hor- 
izon, the newly made benedict is 
discovered by his bride fondly em- 
bracing and kissing a young woman, 
who is afterwards recognized as a 
former sweetheart. 
Piqued at what she thinks an un- 
pardonable indiscretion, Roxana 
leaves him, returns to America and 
arrayed in the most stunning of 
widow’s weeds, announces the un- 
timely death of her newly wedded 
husband. At a house party in Palm 
Beach the husband confronts the un- 
suspecting Roxana and the fun be- 
gins. Then for the three acts the 
complications come fast and furious, 
with the line of demarkation be- 
tween farce and comedy so cleverly 
drawn that the master hand of 
David Belasco is readily recognized. 
The engagement at the Hollis 
street theatre is limited to two weeks 
commencing Monday night.
