Nine. Wade gave the corset complete
rest yesterday ct the corset demonstration
In Masonic Temple. Furthermore. abe never
once mentioned the diaphragm. She con-
cened herself merely with tho matter Of
correct walking, sitting and sleeping.
But first, standing timidly-Mme. Wade
ID occasionally timid-behind large green
chair all In her Light blue negligee, she said
In hoarse whisper:
sThere's man over there, at the same
time pointing.
There was. With brushes, brooms and
feather busters they shoosd him out. Then
the show went on.
Nine. Wade stood In her usual position
In tho center Of the stage. She had the
blue neglieee buttoned at the top, but
toward the neither extremity there appeared
to be something or other lacking. The
moment Nine. Wade advances upon the
stage she begins almost automatically to
unbutton. It has become q second nature,
apparently.
She had taken only one or two meditative
steps forward when the negligee dew opsn
at the top, then further down, then further
and further down until all syes were opened
In expectation Of the same old corset, only
to be disappointed.
She was clothed altogether differently,
this time In white. At first it looked as II
she had had her legs painted, but 1t was
only her white stockings. A peculiar effect
Of pantalets was revealed where the
famous union suit left of trifle pre-
viously. She wore white shoes. Her prin-
cipal garment left of somewhat suddenly
at the kmeeoap. There was no rufie on 1t
Only q plain and gentel hem.
Keep q straight line from the center
Of the bust down. began Nine. Wade,
'and you'll be all right no matter what hap
pens.' She indicated this line 80 that
there would be no installing 1t. then

Keep the tendons OF your legs perfectly
firm" she added, and you will be equal to
any emergency. Many Of life's ills may be
traced indirectly to a timber leg tendon.
Throw your chin we'll into the air as II you
owned the earth-it doesn't matter whether
you do or not 80 you seem 70.
Then walk straight ahead without caring
whether anybody IL looking at you or not,
and everybody will look at you. Don't
turn your head to see whether your hustle
is ON straight or not. Wear one OF our
self-adjusting bustles and rest assured it
will take care Of itself. Fasten all your
pads on firmly and let it 60 at that.
PUT on one Of our corsets,' she con-
tinued, 1and wear it in the way l have
taught you to wear 1t and let the rest OF the
world take care Of itself. Now, am going
to show you how to sit. No. Not on the
balls OF your feet. You arrange yourself
gracefully with an arm thrown over some
thing. What's that?
yes. Or somebody, IL you prefer, hold
your shoulders in the same position az in
walking, never throw them forward, never

climbed on a chair at the foot Of the impro-
yised bed as she was, In the modest little
garment Of the hem and her stocking feet.

I understand that people have been sleep
