Several attractive novelties in cor
sets have come out recently which will
undoubtedly appeal to many women
who for some reason or other have
trouble in getting just the kind of cor
set they want. one is a new straight
front corset, which embodies quite a
new idea The lower part of the sides
of the corset is formed by two pieces
set on and adjustable. being laced to-
gether in the front. These two pieces
are made flexible by three bands of
elastic set in on either side. The cor
ried from the top of the corset to the
waist and the other from the waist
line to the lower edge. The ends of the
upper lacing are brought around to the
front and carried down to the lower
part of the corset, where they hold
the adjustable pieces on either side
firmly together. The steel Of the COR
set is full length and there are three
catches on the lower part of it and
three on the edges Of each of the adj
Unstable side pieces
Another new corset. which has q
long skirt piece over the hip and
whose side s;eels are carried down a
short distance below the hips, is alsS

who wish to wear tight fitting skirts,
without having quite the proper figure
for them. Below these side steels are
separate hip pieces of the corset ma

at the lower end of the hip piece.

In the Grand Dalai Lama of Thibet
Great Britain has the strangest enemy
she has ever had.
Thibet lies on the slopes Of the
Himalayas, and has total area OF
about $4,000 square miles,
with population of six mil
lions. Its capital is Lhasa (Which
means Gods groundD, and is the
metropolis of the Buddhist world Be
cause it is situated at a height of
nearly twelve thousand feet above the
level of the sea, It is often referred

II is the ambition of adventurous Eu-
ropean travellers to make their way
into Lhasa. and solve many of the
mysteries which surround the sacred
city but only three have ever done so
and come out alive. No living Euro
pean has ever seen the Grand Lama.
Only one Englishman ever got to
Lhasa and came back again, and that
was Thomas Manning, a great friend
of Charles Lamb, in 1871.
However, at various times Indians
and Chinese have got there more or
less I'm British interests, and the In
dia Office has a special secret service
in it's employment, the members of
which have. at terrible risks obtained
information which has been duly
pigeon .holed, so that, though we have
not seen Thibet nor its famous Grand
Lama, we are not by any means igno-

days further fixes his departure from
this world at some date between his
thirteenth and fifteenth years. There
is really no physical reason why the
head of the State should not live as
long as any other inhabitant of the
sacred city but as the Thibetans
would soon be in state of panic and
fear that the end of the world had
come If he did so, tradition requires
careful management. which is exer

A point in his favor at the outse,

These snakes can easily be domes-

Grand Lama has many lively distrac-
lions, and 1t Is said that one OF his
predecessors INDUCED in designations
to a scandalous extent. Amongst the
chief festivities in which he partici'
pates is kind of lama carnival,
which lasts for fifteen days at the
beginning of each year, On the Sec
ond day he gives grand banquet, and
on the third there are sports. One OF
these-which is called the dance
of the gods" and which the Grand
Lama never fails to wltness-consists
of long cable of leathern thongs be-
ing stretched from one of the pima
Giles of the palace to the ground far
below, and down this steep slope two
men, lying on their chests, and
spreading their arms out as If they
we're swimming, slide with the speed
of an arrow. Occasionally they are
killed in the process.
On the thirteenth day of the second
month of the year the Grand lama
undergoes a kind of annual vindica-
ton. A poor Thibetan Is hired to play
the part of a demon. He is dressed
In weird fashion, and his face is
painted in a mottle of black and white.
He is met by representative of the
Grand Lama, and the two engage in
what Is supposed to be theological
argument, in which the Grand Lama's
man scores heavily.

Microbes in Old Furniture.

Fear of microbes seems to have
spread to the possessors of old fiirni-
ture. which during a long life and un-
known experiences may have col
lected the germs Of disease. Recently
cautious lady in London who had
been studying the medical warnings
inherited a Sheraton table. She would
not admit 1t to her house, but sent
1t off to cabinet makers with or
ders that an exact replica be made,
the original table being offered in pay
ment. II this lady's craze for new
and inrocuous furniture spreads, there
should be good times in store for the
cabinetmakers, as we'll as for collec.
tors who prefer the risk of microbes
to the certainty of shoddy.

The Rev S. p. Cadman of Brooklyn
