the hose supporters keep the corset well down
in place
In putting the corset on, see that it is well
down on the body before starting to fasten it..
II you are inclined to obesity it is well to begin
at the lowest hook. This will insure that all
the fullness around the abdomen will be confined
within the corset.
After the corset is hooked, it is time to give
attention to the lacers. These should be so ar
ranged that they are in two sets. The upper set
should be adjusted once for all and not laced or
unlaced again long as the corset is worn.
They should be loose as possible without pro-
ducing unnecessary funess about the top OF the
corset, for such fullness will show after your
waist is on They should be fuller at the top than
at the bottom, and should tie at the waist line
just above it.
Consequently, with the upper set Of lacers
permanently adjusted, it is only necessary to give
attention to the lower set These should be fast
ened as tightly as health and comfort will permit,
in such way that the corset meets at the low
er end and expands gradually towards the waist
line.
Never have your corset tight around the waist
line, for the wasp waist" is not only fortunately
cut of STYLE but it is also intolerable to the
sight. If girl only knew how people laughed
at her tiny waist, she would at once stop squeez-
ing herself to death and begin to dress comfort
ably
Do not get lazy and think that the lower set of
lacers can be adjusted once for all the same as
the upper set 1t is just because lazy
in this respect that they have such dumpy fig
ures. The corset will not be well down the
body unless the lower set of lacers is adjusted
anew every time the corset is put on.

riageable damsels of the place. In
volume sealed to the general public
is placed the rating of every eligible man in the
vicinity.
This is means of protection to the girls OF

TO testify as to their brothers dispositions with
entire frankness, and the tie of blood is not re-
garded in these estimates
Each young man has page to himself and
every now and then the girls meet in solemn
concave and look over the records adding new
notes and striking out bhnders. A page in
this unusual "Bradstreet" reads very much as
follows:
John Smith; Good looking, but vain, easy to
Jolly selfish, very complimentary in speech but
stingy. Has fair salary clerk in jenkins

Now there is record which for cold-blooded

For a visitor in the town, who is pleased with
Mr.. Browns attentions, such record at once
precludes any heartbreak For the girl who does
not care for the resident motherin-law there is
warning. Yet for those who merely desire
good time and enjoy driving, there is the induce

But good figure does not depend wholly upon
