Two lOud-talking women were in a
street car, which was full, and the
whole company was informed: II was
getting awful fat, and looked like a
Dutch churn. In six months tine / re-
duced my weight forty pounds and the
size of my waist fully three inches"
''Oh, my, how did you do it?'' loudly
inquired the other.
"By taking just as little food, drink
and sleep as health would allow, and by
tight lacing. 1t nearly killed me the
first six weeks, but determined not to
give in, and L didn't. came the near
est giving up on the matter of drink; it
was awful hard. But now / go all day
long without drinking and don't feel
any need of it or any discomfort"
''Oh, my! L couldn't do that.''
"You must" Talk about Spartan
women! The expression on that face
surpassed the pluck of all of 'em. "You
must draw your corset lacings tighter
and tighter every day. And that isn't
all, you must wear your corSetS nights
and not loosen the lacings, either"
By this time the attention of all in the
car was directed to the two loquacious
women. Old men and young men sat
with bated breath behind their newspa-
per shields, an air of expectancy on
their faces, one or two ScandaliZed WO-
men who were hanging OH to the straps
turned their backs and-liStened.

less you try for it. What is the sideache
and backache and thirst and loss of
sleep to trim waist? Do you suppose
would take back all my hOrrid fat and

eating and drinking and sleeping? Mop
WHEN WOMEN ENVY MEN.
San Francisco Report.
There are just three things for which
woman envieS man. The first is a
secret not to be told, the second is the
ability and power to go out whenever
he feels like it at night, and the third is
his being able to get along without rain
soaked petticoats slapping against his
heels. A mans legs always look so
comfortable in wet weather. He puts
on heavy shoes, thick socks, turns up
his trousers and strikes out. A woman
on her miserably clothed supporters has
thin stockings. tight boots and good-for-
nothing sandals. Many female geese
even cling to white skirts. which are
just so much paper in the rain. Then
out she goes. In half block the backs
of her legs from heels to knees are sat

her language, grow smoky. If
We could only wear the literal as we'll as

rainy weather, we might keep as sweet
