plump or weak and thin, an awk-
ward one-motloned machine. fit only
to carry about that helpless yet
regnant idol, the dummy. Where the
dummy Is, there must the skirt be also.
The causes Of this dual monster. separate
yet indivisible. lie SO wide and so deep
that we cannot seek their uttermost
roots In ono short article. We must
begin with comparatively modern
causes, things easily seen and proved
And let Us premise that neither the
desire for comfort nor for beauty l.
among them
The need for warm and thorough
clothing has always existed In cold
countries; we have clothing among the
Eskimo, but not the dummy
The demand for ornament Is Is old a.
Eden. We have ornament among the
South Sea Islanders, but not the dummy.
Not in savagery, not in barbarism, not
In the pagan cults do we find it; not in
the Dark Ages, eithers no, it is the very
flower and crown, the last perfect prod
net Of modern Christian civilization.
Shall we go behind those deep desires
''to be SLENDER" ''to be smooth"
With these demands as q handspring,
and orr natural sense Of abstract pro-
portion as regulator. the course OF con-
struction is plain7-
Would You be slender?
Squeeze the waist.
An ugly line is produced. and it hurts.
Fit the whole body tight and then
squeeze.
This is done, but still there are hori-
zontal wrinkles when the body bends.
Would you be smooth?
Stiffen the dress and then squeeze.
This Is done, but rich materials are in
jured by the strain.
Ha! have it! Put simple stiff thing
underneath and make the dress smooth
over it.
The corset was born! But the first
stays were crude affairs at best.
The grand, intelligent curves Of bosom
and hip did not agree with the unyieaa.
ing plane in the middle.
So the normal instinct OF proportion
and harmony, acting on this absolutely
essential base. slowly evolved the un-
dulating prison that now blends and
oompels all the free, noble, necessary
lives Of the body into one set and sense
less shape.
This accomplished, that Same normal
instinct Of harmony and proportion, act
ing on the same absolutely essential
base, found that the new kind of body
did not agree with the old kind Of legs.
or even with the new kind Of legs as
long as they moved at all. The bold ms
and outs Of tho superb dummy left the
eye sadly dissatisfied with q straight
skirt like that in Fig. 4.
With the waist dipping in so sweetly,
and the abdomen quite surpassing the
bust in prominence, there was q strange
lack somewhere.
So the skirt was made fuller and full
er, until final inspiration brought that
utmost beautifier-the hustle. Why, Of
course, if it looks too full in front make
it still fuller behind, then you are all
right. Does our beautiful, laborious
structure on top seem incongruous with
those semimatural walking machines be-
low9 Presto! you shall forget there ever
were such!
And we have forgotten Who could
ever imagine that there were legs to
run with, arms to cling with. breast for

WORLDS FAIR FARE.
A Still high Figure for the Round
Trip.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 1T. II.
Goodman, general passenger agent
of the Southern Pacific company,
who has just returned from a con-
ference of passenger officials at
Chicago, says that, while nothing
definite was decided upon at the
conference about the fare to the
Chicago worlds fair, it was certain
that the round trip from here would
be SO, which is the present single
fare. His company had already in
formed correspondents in China,
Japan, Central and South America
and elsewhere that such would be
the rate, and the company would
stick to its promises in that respect.
Mr.. White, of the Santa Fe, was
also in favor of the same rate, like
wise Mr.. Fee, of the Northern Pa
cific. Mr.. Lomax, of the Union
Pacific was in favor Of making the
price of single trip the cost of the
round trip from all points west of
the Missouri river. He thought
that all the Western lines were in
