EDWARINE (Corsets).-It is very.
very discouraging trying to develop
the bust. but 1t can be done many
times II one persists at it. In the
first place cold water will help you
water on your chest many times and
then rub yourself vigorously to make
the blood circulate freely. At night
take a good skin food and rub 1t in
we'll, but be careful how you do it,
because the breasts are very sensitive
and you are very apt to do far more
harm than good. Always rub round
ard toward the center and rub gently.
Massage is very good, but would not
advise you to try it, for the simple
reason that / am afraid of tt unless
one knows something of it.
2. There is no corset that will aid
your purpose very much, though there
are a few that will make you look
larger and give you a better shape.
For this answer. addresses, 1 mean,
you will have to send me your name
and address. In the mean time why
don't you make series of three ruff
fies, cambria edged with lace, and wear
them under your corset cover? They
will help your figure materially and
are cool and clean and light in weight
at the same time.
8. Bread, potatoes, milk, cream and
sweets all help to increase flesh. but
much meat must be left alone. Deep
breathing exercises are good for this,
too, as the blood bounds into every
corner and gives new life and energy.
DUTIES OF A GUEST (''Unsophisti-
cated') ).-When being entertained al
L.
to Your hostess. A guest should not
expect to be provided with continual
amusement or seem to depend wholly
upon the guidance Of others; neither
must she seek to introduce innovations
of any kind. as they may be displeas-
ing simply because they run counter to
plans already under way. A guest
must not make appointments or ask
friends to call upon her until she has
first consulted her hostess and gained
her approval; this courtesy should
never be neglected, for a hostess has a
perfect right to know who is coming
into her house and interpose polite
objection without any one feeling Of
Tended, If she sees fit to do so. Her
objection does not necessarily reflect
against your friends, but may be based
entirely upon personal convenience,
which she is not expected to explain. If
your friends call be very particular
to introduce them to your hostess and
members of her family. An inconsid-
crate guest who takes advantage of his
or her position as guest to impose
nameless little selfish and thoughtless
acts is the greatest trial with which
a hostess has to contend. hence it is
not strange that some people find the
doors of their erstwhile friends closed
against them. Tact and close observa-
ton will teach one the happy medium
and how to be pleasant instead of q
burdensome guest.

fence, known as the goodnight" sets,
which come in almost every color. The
set consists of a candlestick, tumbler,
ice pitcher and match box. all fitted
into q circular tray. To the jaded
nerves, weary of close surroundings,
chambers fresh and dainty with dra-
peries of fiowered cretonne and nlmy
curtains OF dotted swiss. soft green
wicker or woven grass furniture and
the spotless bed of enameled metal are
joys. If possible. arrange to have win
dow boxes attached to the chamber
windows and fill them with gay gera-
NUNS, mignonette and heliotrope, and
don't forget a rose geranium. These
flower boxes will make the stay In the
country even more enjoyable than
usual and afford charming contrast
to the dust and roar of the city, which
is well worth the time spent in keep
ing the flower boxes in order For the
living room Mission furniture is given
the preference. Strong colors such as
subdued green and red. are most bar
monious for the massive outlines of the
furniture. All light bric-a-brac pic

thing of this order should be tabooed.
