until his body became nearly the shape of a
croquet wicket, and it almost snapped his
backbone IN half to assume an upright position,
he would quickly ack nowledge that there is

and when his old man wasn't looking. he
would jump over the back fence, 90 down

ETY.. "You see," he said, sits just the same as
the ordinary corset in all its essential particu-
lars. But there are several attachments rot
found in the ordinary corset and which form
the particular charm of my patent improved
corset-The Absent Friend Recalled, as poet
lcaliy call 1t. Round The central section of the
corset there extends, as you will see, a hinged
clamp, curious and yet very simple arrange
ment CT powerful springs, so arranged that the
pressure they exert can be graduated at pleas-
lre, and as instantansously exerted or removed.
The compression varies from that of a timid
and unaccustomed friend, whose muscle is i'm
perfectly developed, or who has boil on the
inside OF his elbow, up to that exerted by a
Hercules when engaged in strangling a boa
constrictor; or the scale they are marked you

has no lover, or her sdmirer has gone to the
lodge, or to see another, or is out of town, all
she has to do is to put on her automatic corset,
touch the spring, and with a little exercise of
the imagination, recall the absent one." All
said it was an admirable invention, and the
pleased inventor said it was, and he expected
to have millions of the corgets in use soon, es-
pecally in boarding schools. eff Judge Hilton
had had each of his boarders fitted with one of
these said he, ''the Women's Hotel would
never have busted up, but would survive, one
OF the Doblest of charities" He also explained
that he intends to fit to the corset an outside

spiral spring bearing an artificial moustacbe
strongly impreguated with cloves, trx, cigar
smoke, or any other perfume that may be de-
sired, and which by the action of the compres-

wearer's cheek with life-like motion.
