massage treatment with cocoanui
oil will be found useful. Exercise
will be found necessary. A svste-
matte course of exercise calling every
muscle into use is most certain of
results. The corset, again, is OBJ
jectionable in this case, the principal
objection being on account of the
pressure Of the steels in front. These
steels crowd the upper portion of
the waist into ugly lines that can
not atone for natures deficiency or
supply the proper amount of nature
hips or bust. The thin person
should wear loose sleeves covered
with drapery. Many women have
an idea that the hollow at the bot
tom of the waist is necessary to
their beauty and suffer all their lives
from stiff corset steels. The mo-
ment the wearer sits down the cor
set begins its deadly work of pres
sure. Health should be the first
consideration, and is essential to
perfect development.
After explaining the Numerically
opposed dress of the fat and the thin
woman, she illustrated the medium
size by her own perfect figure. In
discussing the advantages of the
reform undergarments, Mrs. Miller
spoke Of their light weight, and
said that she no longer envied man
his dress. She stated that her un-
dergarments weighed just one pound.
Bustles are her especial adherence.
IF you must have hump, the
braided wire hustle will furnish the
desired size with the least harm to
the wearer" said she.
After speaking far some time Mrs.
Miller retired to her dressing room
and soon reappeared attired in what
she termed a conventional dress
which had the appearance of the
usual fashionable gown with the
suggestion of slight hustle. though
Mrs. Miller wears only one reed low
down near the bend of her legs.
This toilette was sage green silk
with foot band Of deep embroidery
in colors, directoire coat of pale
chocolate, embroidery about the
waist and down the back of the
coat, corsage finished prettily with
lace. In this she showed how very
loose and easy the seemingly tight
dress was. Her motions showed the
freedom which release from a corset
gave. She said she would never
think of putting on her bonnet
before she put on her gown.
1.-THE question Of a strong race
in the future is whether the girl has
strength to bear strong children.
If | had dozen children | would
educate them physically, even
though they never learned their A
B C's. The corset is the school
girls deadliest enemy"
As she was about to leave the
platform lady asked how the dress
was fastened.
Simply with a PIN she replied.
Upon the next appearance she
was attired in dark blue tailor
made suit, directorie coat fastened
with three large silver buttons as
was the vest worn with the dress.
The pleated skirt and close-6tting
coat gave the appearance precisely Of
the usual corset-wearing woman.
Her last dress was glorious Gre
alton of yellow brocade, train falling
over petticoat of heliotrope, over
which fell draperies of the finest
point d'Alencon, corsage elegantly
finished with lace, finished at throat
and waist with ornaments of crystal.
There were no sleeves and the bod
ice was cut V shape, back and front.
In this dress she averred her OPPOSE
ton to decoIlette dresses. She said
forcibly and to the point that they
were immodest. She thought it un-
graceful and gave little kick with
her foot which invariably accom-
panies the long train.
At this point she requested the
few gentlemen that were in the
hall to leave. She then stepped into
her dressing room: and in a few
moments came on the stage COM
pletely enveloped in long, loose
cloak of dark green plush.
After receiving positive assurance
that the coast was clear she dropped
the yelling cloak from her form and
Mrs. Jenness Miller stood in the
full glory of chemillette and leglets.
The chemillette was made high in
the neck and the leglets had the ap-
pearauce Of Turkish trousers.
Among other questions she was
