The New shnned Cnrset.

1t is being announced by the fash
lonable modistes and women tailors
that they will fit gowns only over the
new shape corsets, while the cloak and
mantle makers say that all garments
for the fall and winter trade viii also
be modelled for figures wearing the
same style. There is a most pronounced
change from the old corset, whose chief
end seemed to be to accentuate the
length of the waist and to raise the
bust. The new corset has what the
shop girls call ''the low bust and sud
den hip" The back is nsticeably mar
row. the hips very full and the bust en-
tlrely without formation. Except at
the waist line the garment scarcely
touches the figure at all. The change
will not be objected to by slender wom-
en-, while, on the other hand, to women
with superabundance of flesh the new
corset will be nothing short Of an abom-
nation, which they will be slow to
adopt.

Gems have diseases, just as men and
women have. with this difference, that
the infirmities of precious stones can
rarely be cured. Some gems deterio-
rate-grow old, In other words-and
gradually become lifeless. Pearls are
most subject to this fate, and no means
have been found to restore them to life.
Among the infrmlties to which pre-
cious stones are liable Is one common
to all colored stones-that of fading or
losing color when long exposed to light.
The emerald, the sapphire, and the
ruby suffer the least. their colors being
as nearly permanent as colors can be,
yet experiments made few years ago
In Paris and Berlin to determine the
deterioration of colored gems through
exposure showed that even these suf-
fered. n ruby which had lain for two
years In shop window being percepti-
bly, lighter in tint that its original
mate. which had been kept in the dark
