The becoming toque with this coat
has fiat crown of white cloth with

Old Salt took large drove of cat

his friends started for home, on

and the most strenuous efforts of the

And with, the help of heavy bones

corset on either side and then to gar

some women wear four of them, two

the better to keep the corset firmly
in place. After the figure begins to
fall into the new lines the straps are
less important.
From the waist line up there arc
also marked changes in the cut of
the up-to-date corset designed TO
mold the new figure. As most peO.
pie are aware, the models worn dur
ing the last year or two have. been
cut very roomy Immediately above
the waist line in front. This was to
give the effect of low bust. In fact,
a low bust has been perhaps the
most distinctive feature of the fash
ionable figure for more than a year.
"Now all that is changed Fashion
commands that the bust shall be
high in order to promote the straight
line which she has made the keynote
of the new figure. Therefore, the
corset is now fitted quite smoothly in
front to some distance. above the
waist line. and very closely indeed
under the arm.
Necessarily, the bust is much
heightened. The corset. too. is cut
much higher than, it was a few
months ago"

contractor, of Cleveland, Ohio, awoke
on recent morning, he missed his
false teeth, and naturally inferred that
he had swallowed them. He was taken
to hospital, where surgeons made in
cisions in his stomach, to hunt for the
missing molars. Before they had
sewed up the incisions, his sister-in-
law rushed into the hospital, with the
grinders in her hand. She had found
