Some Wholesome Hints In Regard to the
Healthfal Adj ustment OF Garments.
As every properly constructed build
ing must have good foundation, so
should the superstructure Of woman's
dress be erected upon well-ftting under
garments. To attain this, the time
honored "chemise" must be abolished.
and its place supplied with garments
that fit closely, but easily, the figure.
They should be all supported from the
shoulders, either by being made in n
combination suit" as vest and drawer
all in one garment are called; or, if the
drawers are separate, they should b.
supported by q strap fastened TO III,
waistband in front, and about fou
inches above the band be divided int,
two straps passing over each shoulde
and buttoning TO the waistband in til
back. Over this should be worn gar.
ment, for which no adequate name ha
yet been invented, although some call

dress skirt. too, with its heavy draping
and plaitings, should be supported b,
the shoulders, by means Of suspenders.
Other general rules for beauty In
dress are now, we think, SO generally
understood as hardly to need repetition,
That very stout person looks best in
dark, close-fitting dresses, with fiat
trimming, while very slender figure
can wear pulled or gathered plastrons,
and bouffant drapery; and that a tall
person should not wear perpendicular
trimmings, nor a shortperson horizontal
ones.
True economy demands that good
materials should be used. especially for
outdoor wear, and II is best, also to
buy as few dresses as possible each sea-
son, as they soon grow old-fashioned,
and it will involve expense and trouble
to have them remodeled. Those who
have but few dresses are wise when they
have these few inconspicuous in ,olor

During Seventeen Years OF Married Lie.
In the rear Of No. 23S Rlackhawk

three OF whom are living. The family
occupies but one small room. that Is,

an everage Of every ten months, Mrs.
Karkert has set one or more babies
into this world. While her husband
participated in the Franco-P russian
war. and as Napoleon Ill. surrendered
at Sedan. Mrs Karkert at home
did her duty by swelling the census
by two young karkerts OF the
male persuasion. Unfortunately. they
only lived thirty-six hours, Next time
she bore twins, less than q year after
the peace had been signed at Frankfort.
Mrs. Karkert had no better luck. Since
then the children have been born singly,
the births coming with mathematical
precision, every ten months. They
have all died with the exception OF the
first TWO children and the last one, little
Anna, born August l6. The little
creature Is troubled, however-like all

and too wise and peaked for her age.
Despite her incessant efforts in the
maternal line, and despite frequent
sickness, the twenty-two-foid mother
looks vigorous and healthy. She Is n

Gus dimensions, large. soft brown eyes
