coRseTs IN STYLE FOR MEN.

HE Portlincss the Prince Of Wales
Said to Have Set the Fashion.
Late news from London indicates
that men Of the smart set there are
going in for corsets on q scale not
even approached by the dandies Of
1895. The haberdashers patronized
by the swells carry an extensive stock
of mems corsets. and, while the sale
Of them L. limited to a comparatively
small number the demand Is steadily
Increasing, and the Indications are
that a large proportion of the men in
swelldom will soon be wearing them.
People who make q business of study
ing the motives Of change in the fash
ions say that the wearing Of corsets
by men Is the natural consequence of
the edict which went forth q couple
Of months ago, to the effect that wom-
ems waists were to be larger BY sever
al inches. A sudden jump from twen-
ty-three inches waist measurement to
the more mellow figure Of twenty
eight inches on the feminine side of
fashion required a complete change
in the apparel Of the other sex.
1t only requires q glance at old fash
ion plates to note the fact that the
styles Of men and Of women have al
ways gone In opposite directions. Thir-
V-nvs years ago, when women wore
immensely large hoop skirts and an
endless variety Of bulging frills and
furbelows, the attire Of men was sleek
aud eiose-ftting. At an earlier pe,
riod, when masculine fashion required
very wide trousers. gaudy waistcoats
and loose coats, the mode for women
was excessively plain. So, II women
are to glory in the freedom and health.

sirous Of posing n an animal trainer.
she has succeeded In teaching her two
beautiful black cats to do a few tricks
that are perfectly wonderful.
To begin with, Chufry. the larger, his
mistress will call him to her and say:
"Now, Chun, l "epare for your dinner"

then placed with its back to the table

around his neck. Chuffy is ordered to

the chair, the intelligent animal will

piece Of meat In his paw and convey 1t
to his mouth. This Is continued until
the meat has disappeared.
Next, Svengali Is given a chance to
display his talent. A stick about three

one end resting on the floor. At the
command to show his claws '.Sven"
will stand on his hind feet. and, dis
tending his claws as far as he can,
reach up and get q firm clutch on the
stick. Then he will slowly lift his
hind feet Off the floor and hang at arms
length from the stick.
When 1t comes to an instrumental
solo Chuffy is an expert. He will climb
upon the stool and hammer the keys

its lack Of melody. approaches very
nearly to some conception Of opera.
"Sven" cannot be induced to play the
plano alone. but after a deal Of coax!ng
and a bit Of meat will climb upon the
stool beside Chuffy and assist in a
duet.

men must grid on the burdensome
yoke Of the corset and endure the new
agony Of pinching in their waists to
the minimum figure.
The fashion has not yet progressed
sufficiently for any standard to be set
regarding the proper waist measure
ment for men. And 1t is not very prob.
able that such thing will happen, for
the reason that some people attribute
the new style to the Prince Of Wales
and his growing corpulency- II the
waist measure of the prince were
taken as the correct thing most men
could face the fashion with an easy
grace. as the girth Of his royal high.
ness Is said to be forty-twO inches.
There Is little doubt that the prince
has taken up the corset habit not fOr
the purpose OF setting a new style,
but as a matter of necessity. He Is
very vain Of his appearance, and with
in the last year his rapid tendency to
increased weight has given him q world
of trouble.

THE HISTORY OF ONE GIRL
True Story of a One Time Servant &
a Summer Resort

True Story of a One. Time Servant ~
Summer Resort
Great lessons of life lie hid In the
homely incidents which occur in shops
and kitchens, as well rs In the loftiest
poems. Here is a true little story which
may be a word In season to some Of our
readers:
A few years ago, among the walters
at a summer hotel in New jersey was
a girl whom we shall call Jane. She
was strong. neat and Quick-witted. but
she had spent all Of her life in kitchen,
scrubbing aud washing dishes, and waA
impatient to do different, and as she
thought better, work in the world. She
could barely read and write, and she
was poor. When the hotel closed, and
the lonely coast was deserted by the
summer boarders, there was no way
by which she could earn a dollar.
She did her work in the hotel thor
oughly, and was quick and attentive.
but her discomfort showed In her face
and manner. There were times when
she hated the idle. richly dressed women
whom she served. and she took no trou-
BILE to hide her dislike.
There was one young girl whose eyes
often rested thoughtfully Oh her face.
Jane resented her curiosity" as she
called 1t, and one day left her unserv.
ed. When she was mildly reproved,
she answered insOlently, and left the
room trembling with rage.
Il will have her discharged" said the
young girls father, angrily.
mo, father, no. Leave her to me, |"
his daughter entreated.
The next morning Jane was standing
by her chair when Miss B. appeared.
She was very pale. but her voice was
steady. Il wish to beg your pardon
before these ladies'. insulted you be-
fore them yesterday. You might have
reported me, but you did not I will
leave the hotel. 1 am not fit to be here." I"
go on with your work, Jane" said
Miss B., gently. "and favor me by com.
ing to my room this afternoon"
When she saw her alone, she said.
There is good stun in you. or you
could not have conquered yourself as
you did to-day. You are At for higher
work than that you are doing. 1 have
watched you for some time. You are
intelligent, neat, and have warm SYM
pathies. You would, 1 think, succeed a.
q trained nurse"
81 have thought of thatr' cried the
girl. But 1 have no education. How
can I get the training?'
Miss B. used her influence to give her
a years schooling, and then procured
her admittance to the New York train
ing school
This woman is now the head Of a pri-
vate hospital in New York, to which
surgeons send patients who require un-
usual care and skill In treatment She
herself told this story.
How few apparently among the many
unhappy, poor girls give such faithful
work AZ to attract notice! How few
also among the many happy, rich girls
give notice or help to those who serve
them!
