TIE oArt Of Being
o4 Good Hostess

An exchange gives the following excel
lent suggestions to those who would
shine in the gentle art Of entertaining:
If You would win laurels as a bright
conversatonalst. first impress Your
mind that it is not flow of words that
YOU need, but ability to direct CONVERSE
ton.
You must practice the art of starting
a thought, keeping the talk general, or
making the guest of honor the apparent
leader.
You must draw out the timid. avoid
dangerous channels and make every man
and woman about you appear at their
best. while your own efforts are con-
fined to an occasional word thrown in
to fill a gap or change the current OF
the talk.
When YOU are trying to make a COM
pany a conversational success, always
avoid a rafting liveliness on your own
part.
Don't imagine that to be 81 clever wo-
man YOU must be 4 wit
If YOU are naturally witty, well and
good; it will crop ont occasionally. But
if Your wit is forced it degenerates into
mere effectation. and affcctation is fatal
Your main object is to make your
self interesting without being ot;trusive-
to kecp yourself in the background while
you direct the general conversation.
1t is a wonderfully interesting accom-
plishment.
You learn 10 note the slightest change
in facial expression. The CULVER OF an
eyelid or the movement of Il lip tells you
a story You see pleasure. anger, inter-
est, dislike. where another detects no
thought Your own mind acts more
quickly as YOU appreciate the unspoken
thoughts of others. You have the
pleasure of feeling that your acquire
ment is not wholly selfish, for it gives
you the power to understand the reserv-
ed and to put the shy at their ease.

Crimes of the Corset.

Once again the TRADE against the cor
Set is heard in the land. This much
abused article of woman's apparel has
been held responsible at different periods
for nearly all the ills that flesh cat least
feminine fiesh) is heir to. Now Il cl-e-
brated French doctor not content with
lecturinS and demonstrating the evils OF
corsets, has gone 50 far as to form a
bill which * is his intention to present
to the Chamber, and which. in the case
of its becoming law, would most ef-
fectuallly put stop to what this doctor
terms the crime of womanhood.''
DR.. Marechal is q physician whose rep
utation would not lead one to accuse
him of mere sensauonalism, Yet the
charges that he brings against corsets
in his recent lecture are perhaps more
stringent than those u tered before by
any member Of the anti-corset brigade.
Or. Marechal makes the astonishing as
Sertion, and pretcnds to back II up ~
statistics that out OF q hundred young
women who wear corsets only thirty
retain perfect health.
The law that DIR. Marechal is endeav-
oring to have passed is divided into three
articles Article / forbids any women
under thirty TO wear a corset of any de-
scription Any woman convicted OF do
ing so shall be punished by three months
Imprisonment. If the delinquent should
be a minor. her parents or guardians as
well shall be condemned to pay a fine
from 100 TO 1011 francs.
Article II permits any woman over
thirty to wear any corset she wishes.
Article III provides for the most rigor-
Gus formalities surrounding the manu-
featuring and sale of corsets. Every one
licensed to sell corsets shall Obliged to
take the name, address aud age OF every
buyer, and shall be subject to fine and
