She Invents a New Corset


An Englishwoman has invented a
corset, which is entirely new in one
or two of its main features The
prime point of its favor and attract
iyeness is that It is %illowy TO a de-
gree. which strongly recommends it
where grace and slenderness are de-
sired. It's unique feature is a laced
belt. extending from the waist to the
lover edge of the corset which cannot
pctsibly get out of place, while any
extra weight or any suspicion Of hulk-
mess is prevented by the cutting away
Of the corset beneath. The lines in
the back of the corset have been espe-
cially studied. so that the natural bend
at the waist line is accenuated instead
OF being stffened out Of all shape, as
in too many OF the corsets that are
seen, even ON well dressed women.
Nature provided several graceful
curves in wOmans back just about
where the two stiff corset steels us
ually come. These. If they are not PHI
able when the laciHgs are drawn tc
fit snugly above and below the wais
lime. make a hard rigid line, that Is
entirely out of necessity were the hg'
are allowed to retain it's natural grace
in dressing. This new corset taxes
care that this portion of the form di'
vine is allowed to retain its proper
shape. One very salient point OF lt'
recommendation surely this is for any
article OF feminine wear.

less II IS considered this week, may be
interfered With. Among these are the
good roads bills which have been in
troduced by Senator Smith and Repre-
sentatives Finn, Tyre and Rose Ow-
ins to the large amount of money in
volved in the passage Of these bills, the
legislators are moving carefully TO
avoid any mistake
Because Of the fact that There may
be some unsatisfactory contracts or
long delay in securing the good roads.
there Is a general opinion that n special
election ought to be arranged, or the
people given an opportunity to vote as
70 whether the good roads should be es-
tablished, with an expenditure OF $780,
600 at FIRST and an annual sum there
after. II Is argued that IL would be
useless to build a cheap road and TO
establish a good road from Wilmington
to Ilewes would mean a heavy demand
upon the State treasury, while the cost
OF maintaining this road would also be
very keayy This latter emergency is
met by the convict labor bill, intro
duced by Senator Wright which re-
quires the convicts Of the State 10 per-
