~ OLUMES might be written on the
y subject of corset comfort, but the
average woman would not stop
to read them. She would continue to
do as she has done heretofore-rush
off to buy the corset recommended by
her dearest friends whose figure is
Numerically opposed to her own, or
the corset which takes its syIph-like
lines from the figure of the waxen lady
in the show case. Women leave COM
fort out of the question when select
ing cOrsets and that is precisely why
so many women have cause to grieve
over their very poor figures. The trick
of corset buying is 10 nit the stays
TO the figure when the latter is adj
Justed TO good shape, and not to fit
the figure to the corset because its
lines appeal 10 the eye.
It want a P corset, No 107
S1.50 style in coutil," remarked a shop
per in a first class department store.
The saleswOman looked her custom
er over with critical eye.
Il think that No. O06 would give
you better figure, and it is only rs
cents more"
'Humph," replied the customer, re-
sentfully; I've worn No. 107 for years
and ] ought to know whether it fits
me. OF course, it is you place to sell
a higher priced corset if you can"
The saleswoman flushed and bit her

lip, but after the shopper had taken
her departure she remarked quietly:
What possible object could l have
in offering a corset just % cents higher
in price, except to advance the inter
ests of a customer? If l had suggested
one of our seven-ffty or ten dollar
corsets, she might have had reason to
talk that way. Sometimes l think
will never again tell a woman what
she ought TO wear. You see, the un-
thinking woman decides that il is a
shame to waste money on a garment
that does not show, and she does not
stop to think that dollars spent to
by up-to-date fabrics and trimmings
for gowns are wasted when dimes are
saved on the corset. Ask any dress
maker and she will say the thorn in
her flesh IS economy in corsets.
Besides, styles in Women's figures
change almost every year. and she
could change the style of her corset
accordingly. Also when she takes on
twenty pounds Of flesh, as some wo-
men do, in single year, she must not
continue to wear the corset which she
used when her figure was slender and
girlish. Yet have mothers who weigh
10 pounds ask for the same corsets I
sell to their daughters who barely pass
the hundred mark To the slender girl,
the problem is not so serious. The
stout woman should make ii a study
and have her cOrsets fitted as care
fully as her shoes on her gloves. Then

so that She can run her hand between
corset and body at the waist line; then
she begins to hook from the bottom,
and fastens two or three hooks. Now
taking a deep breath and running the
hand down between the corset and the
body. she lifts up the roll of flesh
which has formed there (simply be-
cause she has not exercised at the
waist line and the muscles are fiabby)
and brings it up to the diaphragm.
Then holding her breath. she fastens
the remainder of the hooks. Next she
fastenS the carriers to the stockings
and finally comes the lacing, the lower
set of laces tight enough to keep the
roll OF flesh in position and the upper
part of the corset left rather loose.
Tight lacing at the waist line is not
dangerous so long as the woman can
breathe comfortably, but only when the
corset presses on the liver and the
kidneys. The particular woman ties
her laces in the back, or, better still,
has some one tie them for her. Even
the hook for holding the laces down
In the front is feared when the plain
princess model in gowns is to be
worn
The stout woman who can afford to
do so is wearing this year the
sylphides boned dress without corsets.
This is a Partisan fancy and is literally
every gown its own corset" the lin
ing being bOned as skilfully as in any
corset, with lacings in either the back

and others. President Goode paid the
choir the compliment of saying that it
was the best single feature of the entire
exposition. Miss Emma Lucy Gates
and Professor Willard Weihe came in
for their full share of the praise. After
the speaking and musical programme
a reception was rendered Governor
Cutler, and after that refreshments
were served to everybody.
Logan, Ogden and Salt Lake had
special days at the fair with apprOpri-
ate ceremonies.
When the End of the Fair Came.
When the fair closed, Oct. Is, all the
exhibits were packed and returned to
the state. The building was sold for
$780, 1t had cost in the neighborhood
of $1,000.
The law provided that all exhibits in
the possession of the commission at the
close of the fair should be turned over
to the Deseret Agricultural & Manu-
featuring association, except such arti-
cles as were sold. Governor Cutler
and the commissioners reached the
conclusion that not a cents worth
would be given away or sold to indivd-
uals, but that whatever was sold at all
WOulu DS SOlu u state ltlStllutIOLiS. LII
this way if any bargains were secured
they would be secured from the state
and for the state, and there could be
no adverse criticism. This policy was
carried out in the distribution of the
exhibits.
Have Money Left at the Close.
The business of the commissioners is
now practically closed and the final
report will go to Governor Cutler In a
few days. Only a few minor details
Rremain to be rounded up. This final
report will show balance on hand Of
approximately $500 This sum will
be turned back into the state treasury.
1t was agreed at the beginning that the
affairs of the commission should be
conducted as far as possible on well
established business principles. 1t was
also decided that the expenditures of
the commission should under no cir
cumstances run beyond the amount
made available by the legislature. This
was kept in mind from the beginning
to the end. Many worthy projects for
advertising the resources of the state
were discarded because it was feared
that the appropriation would not hold
out. Much in the way Of entertaining
was cut out for the same reason. The
force of attendants at the building was

Dressed Her Dog AZ a Baby and fer-
fsctly Fooled Street Car
Conductors.

This is a real good dog story os
related in the Portland Oregon
ian;
! He is a pug, and a great pet Of
his mistress, who is very fond OF
his fine pedigree. One day she dis
covered that Teddy could not see
as well as usual She feltas sad as
if he were a brother or sister, and
a famous oculist was consulted,
who told her to bring her pet dog
to him.
They started, but a great OBJ
stacle presented itself. COnduc-
tor after conductor insisted that
the dog could not ride on his car;
so that it was only after getting
on and off about a dozen times
that the Doctors Office wa
reached.
Teddy was quiet as he could be
while having his eyes examined,
and his mistress was told she
must bring him every day for a
month, and all would be done for
him that was possible. SO Teddy's
mistress went to a neighbor who
had a small baby, and borrowed
an outfit that was not too dainty.
Teddy kept very quiet while
being dressed in the long, white
dress, then a cloak and muslin
cap, and over the face a long veil.
Thus they started. Immediate
ly upon entering a car, if it was
filed, up would jump a man to give
the woman CARRYING little baby
It good seat. Teddy never wagged
his little curled-up tail once,
neither did he bark.
Each day the trip was taken
with the same result-a good seat
and very quiet baby.
One day the DOCTORS Office was
filed with people awaiting their
turn, when a woman turned po- |
litely to Teddy's mistress and
said: "My turn comes next, and |
I will await for you on account Of
your baby. 1t is so tiresome to
wait with a baby"
The doctor opened his door at
that moment and called them both /.
in his private office. He said: II
will show you the very best pa +
tient l have" and took Teddy care
fully in his arms. He threw back
the white veil and disclosed the
dogs little pug nose and pert little
face looking out cuteIy from I'M
der the frills Of thecap
Teddy can see pretty well out
of one eye now. His mistress ex-
pected a,huge bill for the experts
service, but instead she received a
receipted bill from the good doc
tor, with note saying that, as
Teddy was the first patient he
had ever treated of royal dog
blood, he esteemed it a great hon.
or to have been the means of help.
