STAYS MUST GO.

Authority.

Der cent. more comforts able aud 50 per
cent. happier. OF course | wear garters
the long ones. you know, that go over
the shoulders-but never wear cOrsets if

GerriSh expressed herself to a World re-
porter.
'Iu the play of Uncle Celestin' do not
wear any thing at all, that is nothing In
the way OF corsets or garter5. Have you
seen the play? Yes2 Well you could see

as man, that is to say as easy in tho figure.
You see 1t Is unnatural fer a woman to
cave In IN the middle of her body as cor
sets make her do. You can see that by
looking at any good sta ". You can tell
what an absurd thing corset is as soon
as you find cut how pretty woman is

times when | am obliged either to wear

a necessity

World man has had he concludes that the
corsest bid fair to be done away with and
that Americans may soon hope to see a
quantity of Venuses of Milo prancing
along Fourteenth street. In the present
stage of humanity the garter as draped
over the shoulder must probably endure.

The Elements of Success.

Success presupposes conditions and pre-
parations for 1.-THE energy, self-abnega-
ton weight brings Drawn and bread and
dignity, strength. wisdom and skill. We
cannot safely jump into success; we are
likely to get hurt, and soon fall back dis
heartened 90 where we belong. Some try
to succeed by jumping into their fathers
shoes; but these shoes do not fit, and
cause the youth TO walk as awkwardly
that he generally makes fool of himself.
Nearly everything of real worth has to be
errned. To be appreciated and judicious-
ly appropriated, our possessions must
have cost their value The toll and
struggle and pIodding that brings solid
gain. brings alse the mature experience,
through discipline, and hard knocks that
make up staIwart manhood and perma-
nent success.

Little Things,

Little words are the swee test to hea
little charities fly farthe8t and stay longe

RIGHT ARM AND LEFT FOOT.
why They Are Always Little Larger
Than Their Opposites

The right arm is always a little larger
than the left, but tie left foot is almost
always larger than the right, presumably
because, while almost every man uses his
righs arm to lift weight or strike blow.
he almost Invariably kicks with his left

leg, and lets his right fall easily, because
ne has learned By experience that this is
the best attitude that ne can assume to pre-
vent lassitade and fatigue.
This constant bearing Of the weight on
the lett foot makes it wider than the right,
and 1t often happens that a man who tries
