waves set up mimic vibration in an

Frenchwomnn'. Way of Lacing,

In the first place, silk corset strings
are invariably used. They are not
much more expensive than the cotton
ones and give far more satisfactory re-
suits. Three separate laces are re
quired. The top one is laced loosely
to give ease and fullness to the bust.
The second one, which is shorter. is
pulled very tight to compress the
waist line only, and the third. that
shapes the hips, is looser than the sec
ond. but tighter than the first. One
long string may be used instead of
three by leaving it loose at the top
and knotting it where ii tightens above
and below the waist line, then tying
more loosely at the bottom. Much OF
the apparent heNihility of Yvette Gull
bert's figure depended upon the secret
of this peculiar lacing.-Chicago Times
