four inches shorter. 1t was gOred to
such perfection that there was not the
faintest symptom of fullneSS anywhere

for easing in the back breadths.

A deep frill of the white lace went all
around the matinee, and was further
ornamented by big chouX of pale green
ribbon, the narrowest width ribbon

recommend this idea to those of my
readers who are prospective brides,
since a length of chine silk, sufficient
for skirt and dressing jacket, can be
picked up very cheaply, and of quality
quite good enough for the above pur-
poses. If you desire Ito have corsets
also to match, reserve a piece of the
silk. There are plenty of corsetmak-
ers whose cut is sufficiently reliable,
and whose prices are moderate, whom
you will find glad to make 1t up. And
while L am upon this subject let me
say how strongly 1 am in favor of
having all corsets, even those for every
day use, made to order. More bad
figures result from the continued use
of i'll cut, ready-made corsets than
most women have any idea of. About
one woman in every ten possesses
what is technically known as a "stock
figure" and the question naturally
presents itself. What becomes of the
other nine?' Well, it Is to be assumed
they suffer in silence. And here let me
draw your attention to one important
fact, which should on no account be
overlooked Because a corset is loose
enough in the waist, there is no sign
that it is not dangerously tight else
where. 1t is just as bad or very near
ly so, to compress the hips, in long
ill-fitting stays, as it is to tighten in
at the waist line. The surplus must
go somewhere, and the result is in
variably bad for health.

dressing jacket for this model was also
OF rose-Dink silk. 1t boosted a Van
dyked collar of the silk, edged with
lace, and, in addition, had two of the
quaintest little pockets at the sides,
their lids composed of frills of black
lace. The sleeves reached to the ell
bows, and were semi-tight- fitting, fin
ished off by double frills of the
lace. And the front of the jacket was
just one mass of foamy cascades of
black lace, irtermiXed with knots of
rose-pink ribbon.
Now, the above also would not be at

could, moreover. be quite easily &C

There is practically no fitting needed

The G o b addressed these in
quiries to Mrs. Ellen NJ Henrotin,
president of the General Federation
of Women's Clubs, regarding the
marked tendency in the prominent
clubs to keep their sessions a pro-
found secret:
HAS this action a salutary or
reflex influence?
2-Is it fair to the many women
who cannot attend the club meetings
at all?
3-Does it help to realize the object
of the federation of clubs?
4-Can you suggest some plan by
which the work of the sessions might
be made known without doing vio-
lence to the sensibilities of the tndi-
vidual members?
To these inquiries Mrs. Henrotin
replied:
To The St. Paul Globe.
In answer to your questions, L
would say that I regret the tendency
among clubs in any city to keep that
part of their sessions a secret which
tends to realize the educational aims
of the Women's club movement, and
to obviate this l would suggest that
a press committee be appointed in
those clubs whose lines of work are
educational or civic, which would
condense the programme and present
a synopsis of such parts as would
be useful to other clubs or interest
ing to the public at large. Such a
report would eliminate all personality,

would be floating a piece of toast or bread

unwillingness among women's clubs
to give their work to the press comes
from the unfortunate character of
many reports which have been IIe-

who does not understand the work or
appreciate the movement, and he or
she sees only the f1ippant side, mag
nifies detail and often misrepresents
the real point at issue. This was es-
pecially the case when women's move
ments were first organized, and It Is
the memory of the amount of fun
which has been made of clubs and
kindred organizations which has
caused women to be so sensitive to
outside criticism. A committee, how

THE COURSING MEET.
Big Lot of Fine Hounds to be Here
April 10Th.

The spring meeting of the Redwood
Falls Coursing club, to be held on the
open prairie around this city, promises
to be one of the largest attended meet
ings ever held in the State. Aside
from the good number of Redwood
county hounds that will be entered
for the rabbit chase applications are
already being received by the club
secretary for entrv blanks from owners
of hounds residing as far east as
Chicago and as far south as the
southern Iowa line.
The meeting will occur April 10Th
Tuesday, and will continue four
days. It will be the week following
the Davenport meeting, at which
rabbits of slower speed than those
found on the Minnesota prairies, are
brought up from the Kansas breeding
pens, and let loose in an enclosure,
and the coursing takes place within
this circle of gunny sack. Here the
rabbits will be got up on the prairies,
and as soon as rabbit is spotted and
the clipper loosens the hounds the
crowd following will be commanded
to halt. The hounds are supposed to
be fleet enough to keep the rabbit
within seeing distance of the halted
crowd.
The club has contributed $3.50
added money to the purse, making a
purse of about $500 to be divided
among the winning hounds, the
entrance fee being $40. and from the
entire amount the club deducts 10 per
cent for expenses.
In coursing the points counted are
speed, the wrench and the turn of the
rabbit, the go by of one hound over
another, the bunting of the rabbit and
the kill. These points are given by
the Judge, who on feet-footed horse,
is expected to keep within range of
the fleeing animals, SO as to Judge
these different points.
In view of the fact that the coursing
is to be done on the open prairie there
can be no charge for admission. All
that will be asked of those following
the events, is that when the command
to halt is given that it will be prompt
ly obeyed.
