"Her Majesty's''
Corset.

Any dressmaker can tell you OF the
worry and trouble caused by ill-fitting
and poorly constructed corsets.
The corset plays a most important
part in the fitting Of dress and IL the
dressmaker has a firm, perfectly
shaped corset like "HER MAJESTY'S'
for foundation, the chances for sue
cess in fitting are greatly increased.
SHER MAJESTY'S' CORSETS keep
their shape. They are the same one
day as another; the same after months
of usage as when first put on, so far as
the shape In concerned. When dress
makers take measurements over such
corset they can proceed with conf
dence, knowing that when you como
to be fitted your corset win be in pre-
cisely the same shape as when you
were measured over 1t.
We will be glad to show CHER
MAJESTY'S" CORSET to all makers
of dresses, as 1t Is an object OF special
interest to all who have never seen it.

TALK OF NEW POOL.
st. Paul-Chicago Lines May Form
New Bonds.

Passenger officials of the Chicago lines
will meet shortly in Chicago to consider
the conduct of competitive business in
passenger traffic between Chicago and
st. Paul and Minneapolis. The real OBJ
ject of the coming session is said to be
the formation of a pool or close agree
ment satisfactory to all roads. Since the
anti-commission agreement went into
effect some of the Chicago lines have
suffered a decrease in gross earnings.
These are almost without exception
roads which have formerly enjoyed
pleasant relations" with the brokers and
ticket scalpers. The suggestion of a pool
is in line with the move advocated by the
weak lines long ago, when they first re-
fused to join the Western Passenger as
ISOLATION. The proposition did not find
favor on account of the obstacle Of di-
vision of profits A difference of opinion
existed over the matter of equitable ap-
portionment of shares, the strong lines
wanting to come in on a basis giving
them the best oft. The weak lines went
on record also with demands for a heavy
share, and the total was out of propor-
ton to facts.
This months gross earnings from the
Chicago lines will have a decided effect.
Reports from the East indicate that the
maintenance of rates agreement is
Weakening fast, and already the lines
north and west of Chicago are beginning
to feel the influence of Eastern condi-
tions The commission agreement is not
working satisfactorily In many respects.

pears to be somewhat localized. ST Paul
officials are free with their predictions
that the rate agreement has little life left
