 The new tailor made girl this autumn s Is determined to show the lines of her F figure She knows they are beautiful and she knows no reason why others should not share this knowledge. With her, at least, the age of baggy dsguises in dress is over.
 She is tired of blouses and pouches and fancy over trimmed effects. She wants her gown to reveal rather than conceal the pretty curves of her form. sf Bouffant and elaborate gowns are all right in their place. but their place is not on the street.
 candor in dress-that's the new fashion edict for the smart tailor-made girl
 The instep skirt and the three-quarters length coat are what she will wear. It is a narrower skirt than the one in vogue last spring and if it is lined at all the silk is attached to the materal--no drop skirt is worn. Sometimes this skirt IS just a trfe shorter in the back than the front to give it a certain chic air. But it's the coat that makes or mars the gown If must fit the form like a mould. Ii must be long and it must be mannish in fit and finish. Knee length is the most correct style at present, though shorter coat is approved for the shorter figure. [, Vt almost goes without saying that this new tailor made girl. who is so proud of her figure, gives special thought to her corset, for she knows that the corset is the foundation upon which success in
The Birmingham age-herald., 1903-10-25

dress Is built. That the corsetmaker and the dressmaker work together is appar- ent from the fact that with the coming or this new, severely plain gown comes also a corset suited to it's needs.
 It's an unusual corset and seems to have been purposely made to mould the figure into the new, approved tailor made shape" It is called the fiattenlng front corset, and as it's name suggests remedies a universal fault of the fem mine figure. By means of oar-shaped aluminium plates it fiattens the abdomen below the waist line, and there isn't q woman who will not be glad to know Of q corset which will do this.
 Though it is a straight-front it is not like the usual straight-front corset with it's distressing tendency of adding to the size of the waist This new corset Is constructed in such a way that. though if accentuates the straight-front effect, vet it gives the slender. tapering, fash ionable waist. And this is matter of importance to the tailor made young woman of today. She must realize that she cannot wear the gown that fashion has designed for her with success unless her waist is small. her hips slender. her abdomen flat and her bust well support ed. Today she has no baggy blouse to cover up the defects of her figure.

WILL ENFORCE BASEBALL RULES
National League Changes Section Re-
latina to Dead Balls,


Washington, April 4-The National
league umpires adopted a radical
measure to enforce the rules against
kicking and rowdyism. They con-
strued the rules relative to the pitch
er's position as meaning that the
pitcher, in taking his position, shall
place no part of either foot back of the
rubber, nor shall he take more than
one-step in delivering the ball to the
batsman." No batsman hereafter will
be allowed to take first when hit by a
slowly delivered ball, the umpire to
judge OF the speed. Emphasis is laid
on the rule requiring runners to keep
within the three-foot lines in going to
first, and in general notice is given of
literal enforcement of the playing
rules.
