Suggestion for the Woman WhA
 Finds COrsets Her Despair.

Here is a boon for the stout women, who suffer from surplus of hips, etc, and who have too much conscience or too hearty capacities to lace. Let them give ear to the new theory of lacing their corsets by which too solid flesh may be held in abeyance, and yet no harm done physically.
 The dressmakers have gotten this new device from physician, who says to pull out your corset laces as you now have them, lay the eyelet sides of the corsets vis-a-vis, as though to begin fresh orthodox lacing. and then taking one lacer put it from beneath through an eyelet at the waist line on that side of the corset lying at your feet. Draw the lacer through as far as the top eye let, run through this one and let an end four or five inches long project Now take the other lacer and pass it through that eyelet next below the one where the other lacer first went through, and draw it down to the bottom eyelet, run through and let five-inch length hang. Pick up the great end of the first lacer and begin zigzagging it back and forth through eyelets on both sides of the two sections of the corset until an end hangs out opposite the first end men toned. With the long portion of the second lacer zigzag through the holes of both pieces of corset to the bottom where an end must hang out opposite the second end mentioned.
 When so laced up, put on the corsets, hook them and see what will happen. Simply pull on the top and bottom ends of the laces that are not zigzagged through. and the corset will first draw in to fit about the waist and ribs com fortably and without pressure. At top and bottom, though, where over the bust and hips the edges of the stays al- ways project and add greatly to the girth, these edges will draw in perfect ly tight and fiat. No discomfort will be felt, and, so lacing her stays. woman can reduce her hip and bust measure matter of three to five inches. In do- ing this the flesh is not rolled up under her chin or thrust out in unganly humps, but because the stay is easy al the waist line and over the ribs the sur plus fat is gracefully readjusted.-Cin-, cinnati Commercial Tribune.

 SfuneI Cnokies

When making cookies, wet the edge of one, put teaspoon of jelly or any kind of sauce. Put another cookie on and press the edges together, then bake. Another way is to cook them, or bake them I should say, and have frosting as for cake. Take two. put frosting on the cnder side of one. then place the under side of another one on. Either way they are very niee.-Boston Globe.
