Such are some of the methods pursued
where Miss Gould's protegee has prepared
herself for teaching. 1 saw her at the
blackboard performing difficult examples In
higher mathematics and writing out SEN

ton of her classes. It will be understood

CORSET PROBLEM SOLVED.
1t has taken time and great deal Of ex-
perimenting to arrive at satisfactory solu-
ton of the corset problem
Women have themselves offered all man
ner of obstacles to its success. for their idea
is that corset is no corset at all unless
It is heavily boned and steeled; that they
might as well go without any or wear rib
bon girdle as to put on a long pair of stays
unprovided with stiffening properties.
White coutille is the material from which
the corsets are usually made, and they are
cut almost exactly on the lines of the most
approved model for street wear. The ath-
letic stay has the long dip over the hips,
with the upward curve toward the front.

rectly over the abdomen
According to this corsetiere It IL not neces-
made straight as board SO that the figure
looks as thick at the waist as 1t does at
largest part OF the hips.
A slight curve is natural. besides being far
more lovely than a straight line, and It
might be well TO mention the fact that this
coming season will see a return to the
curved waist line.
This does not mean. Of course. that the
straight front will be abandoned. 1t IS

He said that with interest once awakened

they. In teaching the young 1 believe IN
the spirit of coniradeship. Then learning be-
comes a sort of religion with the young.
Among the stories told of Miss Glenville's
absorption in her studies is this: She was
asked one day to join some girls at festi-
val. She SAID: NO; while l would like to
enjoy myself with the rest of you. it is nee
essary for me to complete my education as
soon as possible. That will give me more
pleasure, and. besides, 1 can't afford to

the sincerity Of the girl and the reason OF
her remarkable progress in her studies.

with the highest in cholarship, character
and personality. She is tall. dark. hand

branches of Industrial work. especially in
fine sewing, artistic weaving and basket
work.

stitution and was greatly impressed by the

New York. July 3.-Aiiss Helen Gould's

town, has reason to be proud OF her first
success in life.
None among the forty-two students Just
graduated from the famous State Normal
School of New Paltz has been more warmly
Congratulated.
'she has made remarkable record" said
the principal. Mr.. Myron T. Scudder. On
her entrance examination she had ninety
six Regents counts to her credit. while
only forty-eight are required for admission
to college or a normal school.
"And her high record was maintained.
Students taking full teachers course are
expected to remain from two and half
to three years. but Miss Chenille made
such exceptional progress that she finished
the course in two years"
In view of the widely published announce
ment that Miss Gould would duly reward
her protegee, 1 visited New Palsz. and
found Miss Chenille the most retiring and
modest girl in school. She is like shrink

At intervals there are strips of white or

Corsets and athletics have long been on
unfriendly terms with each other.
For some reason. not altogether obvious to

have made little or no effort to combine
the modern straight fronts with the free
dom of movement required in playing golf
or tennis.
This year peace has been established. and
We have the pliabe, easy straight front
adapted to the needs Of the athlete.
Hitherto the summer girl has taken to
gfrdles. which are suited to only the slender
est figures. or else she has put on her ordi-
nary corset and let II out until she could
bend at the hips asad waist easily without
feeling unduly confined ct the waist or
being jabbed by the long front steels.
There are disadvantages in both OF these
arrangements, however, especially for the
girl whose bones are well covered with
flesh. The slim, gir..sh young woman does
not need 10 enter into this consideration
at all. for she looks about as well uncor-

Minneapolis, Minn., May S.-Albert A.

has been found guilty of accepting a
bribe of 5000 while chief executive of
this city. After being out "a hours, held
up by disagreement, the jury in the
case returned into Judge Elliott's court
room their verdict of guilty A large
crowd was present to hear the verdict,
The usual motions were made for a
stay and an arrest of execution of judg-
ment and long fight on appeal will
now come. Through all the trial, Mr.
Ames has borne up well, and to every
appearance he has not seemed better at
any time than he was during the sum-
ming up of the case by the counsel.
The verdict came as shock to both
him and his wife. Mayor Ames was re"
leased on bond, his bond of $21 900 con-
tinuing effective. He was taken to his
home. where he refused to see anyone,
friends or reporters. The shock to DR..
Ames, who hoped for acquittal, was so
great that his attending physicians
have ordered him to bed and seclusion.
