For and About the Women Folks

you can reduce II, or make Il, with a cor
set" said Madame Wade, give small
hips and bust plenty OF room and they will
develop. Box up the flesh and IL will dis
appear
Men would find a corset just as com
Portable as women do" Madame Wade de-
elared land Il IL evident that they are be-
ginning TO feel the need OF some such gar
ment They have tried all sorts OF things

waists, and in spite Of all the fun they hive
made Of women they will have to come to
eorsets before they find anything salts
factory"
You have heard women say" she re-
marked soornfully. that they never unite
their eorsets, That Is the greatest mis-
take you make, you women. You should
unite your corset every time you take 1t
of and keep It united until you put 1t on
again. See how mine Is fastened. At
the bottom FIRST That fastens me around
the hips as II were in box, You could
strike me here on the hips as I strike
this box"
Here she walked across the stage. and
severely smote an inoffensive dry goods
box lettering there-"and II would not
hurt me any more. am packed as II l
were in a case, While It holds me so
well about the hips and abdomen, It leaves
my bust and shoulders perfectly free"
She gave an excellent exhibition just here
of a observation-disclosures wriggling out
without more ado she Jerked of the
large light blue silk anait with its at
tached ornaments of various kinds, all the
same color, however, and held 1t up to the
light,
Now the next thing TO do after you take
of your corset correctly" she had showed
them how TO do that, unbuttoning from
the bottom and travelling slowly up lis to
hang II up each evening In window OF
your room to air. That keeps IL sweet.
Don't roll II up this way" and she gave a
correct and ludorous limitation of the
manner In which most women roll their
eorsets, tie them fast with double barreled
strings, then put them away in a drawer
for fear of contact with the atmosphere.
With the aid of brass bedstead and the
necessary covers, Madame Wade gave an
exhibition of a beauty sleep. Now when /
studied physiology" said Madame Wade, II
learned that people ought to sleep on their
sides l slept that way for many years be-
fore I found 1 was wrong, 1t caused me
to have dreams, and l don't like them a
bit, especially when they SAVIOR of the race
track variety. / began to study the matter,
and came to the conclusion, after a scien-
tifc process of reasoning, that the proper
way to sleep is face down"
Then the model gave an illustration of
how to do it, First, she lay on her back,
and then slowly rolled over on her face,
hiding completely the decorations on the
robe de mutt. Then she pulled a pillow
from surplus stock at the side Of the bed
and tucked 1t under her chin. That didn't
seem to fit altogether, for there was some
thing wrong at the foot, so another pillow
was requisitioned and placed at the foot
of the bed. The inner curves Of the ankle
seemed TO dovetail with the pillow, the toes
were tucked In between the footboard and
the mattress, the pillow readjusted under
the chin and the head rested upon third
pillow.
Now" said Madame Wade. with a sigh
Of satisfaction, ''you see the proper posi-
ton in which you should lie when you
sleep. II you want to get the correct poise
you must sleep this way. Style and car
riage will be yours If you do. Fashion
doesn't amount to anything unless you
know how to show it, and the only way
is to acquire proper style"
