Of the corset. lacing to the center. Pick up
the ends, draw easily, according to figure
proportion, and knot firmly in order that
the laces will not slip or stretch, as the corset

In the medium figure If the hips are broad

the stout large form with proportionate hips
the correct corset is the long skirt with the
apron hip For such figures double jaratelles,
or hose supporters, should be attached to the
apron hip, fastening on the side, and a pair
attached to the front on the extension tab.

In speaking of the exceptional
weather conditions along the Hudson
Valley. the Waterford Times has noted
that for more than two years there was
a great scarcity Of rain and the earth
became very dry, so that wells and
streams that had not been dry in a
century, ceased to furnish water. But
during the past summer so much rain
has fallen that these wells and streams
again furnish water as before, and
farmers say that there is already
enough rain for the streams during
the winter.

The American invasion" Of Canada
Is assuming proportions that are al

seven months of the present year over
100000 acres Of land in Manitoba and
Northwest Canada have been pur-
chased by citizens of the United States.

Specky would run off with it to an
other corner of the yard and gobble 1t
all up himself.
Mother Hen soon found out this
greedy trick of Mr.. Specky. and SO one
day when she found a nice juicy worm,
instead Of giving it to him, she called
little Topknot.
Topknot ran off with her prize and
all the rest Of the chickens after her.
Specky went. too, you may be sure,
and because he was stronger than the
rest, he pushed through and grabbed
hold of that lovely worm.
Then all the little chickens were
scared, for they knew that he was
much stronger than Topknot and
would soon get it away from her. So
they all grabbed hold of Topknots
end and tugged away, five of them
pulling against one.
l don't know how it would have
ended. for Specky was very strong,
but Mother Hen saw the tug-of-war
and with angry clucks she marched
over to the struggling chicks.
Poor Specky! She gave him a peck
that sent him flying, and away tumb1ed
the others over backward And then
Mother Hen ate the worm herself,
after all!-Brooklyn Eagle.

His Reward.


1t was DOnald's first year at school
and he came home one day very sober
boy.
Mamma" he said, "the teacher says
il We do it again Wen all have to stay
after school. l don't know just what
it is-if We whisper or we don't study
but anyway it's something like that,
and when she told us. We all cried
together"
WELL" said mamma, you need not
feel badly. because don't suppose
you will have to stay" and she gave
Donald reassuring smile.
"Why?" he asked.
Because you have too much sense.
It must be very stupid boy who will
play and whisper in school and then
have to stay i'll and study in play

Donald seemed satisfied with this
hopeful view of the case.
Two days after, his mamma saw him
coming up the street holding his head
SO high he fairly leaned over back

hat.
