certain well known library copy of ''Much Ado

note pinned between the leaves together with
letter written in a lady's hand, which read as
follows: AS nearly every person is always more
or less in need of this wretched thing we call
money feel sure that this ten dollars will fall
into the hands of one who needs it. With it goes
my best wishes. From one who has money to
spare and is lover of Shakespeare.-H. G."

as badly as if your dress had been made at home
In putting your outside skirt on, see that the
band of your shirtwaist and your vent form
straight line, your skirt band should fit you in
ouch way that it will not be necessary to use
safety pin in order to keep your skirt in place,
The pin may show, and even if it doesn't show,
it il liable to cause bulgincss. Besides in the
course of time, it will wear holes in both your
skirt and your shirtwaist, if you want to save
money you had better make your clothes to fit
properly in the first place
Have your girdle open in the back, 80 that Il
will fit snugly across the front ANY fullness in
the front is liable to Increase the eize of the
waist, and 30 to make the figure appear dumpy.
Put bones in the sides well as in the back
and front. This will prevent that ugly sagging
down on the sides which often gives q sloppy
appearance to figure otherwise good.
If you are inclined to be stout, try by means
of skilful arrangement Of skirt and girdle (but
more by means of properly adjusted corset) TO
have your waist line higher in the back than IN
the front This will give you the long effect, and
consequently the appearance of a smaller waist.
An ill-ftting girdle is an eyesore. 1t should
meet fairly in the back with no ugly hooks and
eyes showing. Fasten it 30 that it follows the
line formed by the band of your shirtwaist and
your vent. 1t should fit your figure as snug.
ly as if it were a part OF your skirt and your
shirtwaist.
IMPORTANCE OF THE REAR VIEW
You should not forget that your rear view is
just as important as your front view. In fact,
as far as securing good figure goes, it is more
important.
Do not be afraid of using the handglass too
avishly, for any defect in the appearance of your
back will spoil all your other attempts to secure
a good figure And il you have not good figure,
you have nobody to blame but yourself

good corset properly put on acts as support
to the body, thus enabling the wearer to hold
herself erect and her shoulders well back. 1t
SHOULD be worn all the time, if you are anxious
to have good figure, because without it you are
liable to become lazy about the way you hold
yourself. You have become SO dependent upon
the corset that you cannot hold yourself erect
without it; when you not wearing 1t your
shoulders stoop and you become narrow chested.
But o good figure does not depend wholly upon
the corset. After you have put your shirtwalst
on, if it is not made upon band, tie ribbon
around your waist In order to hold down the
fullness which would otherwise have been con-
fined within the band. Pull your shirtwaist down
straight in the back and throw the fullness to-
wards the front for the blouse,
Then place your skirts top of your shirt
waist. This holds the fullness down, and pre-
vents that ugly, bunchy looking effect which 30
many women have around their waists.
SAFETY PINS SPELL LAZINEss
To prevent the bunchy looking effect in the
back, never fasten your petticoats with safety
pins. Safety pins spell laziness, untidiness and
bad figures. A drawing string will do as fast
cner, but button and buttonhole, made upon
band which confines all the fulness Of the pet
tcoat, is the best.
II you are anxious to have good figure, one
OF the important things to remember is that il
your underskirt does not fit perfectly all the rest
of your labor is in vain.
Your dress skirt may have been made by the
ho,k in
you had been moulded into it, but if your under
skirt is fastened with safety pin, or if it is
made upon an illhtting band, you will look just

~ HERE is no excuse for any woman not
having good figure, If she will only
RNNSSNNV spend a little care and attention upon
- her toilet. But many women must
either lack the time-and that is in
credible-or else they are sadly wanting in amb
tion, for you meet many STOPPING, dumpy figures
in the course Of quarter Of an hours walk
through the shopping districts.
1t is a womans duty to make as attractive
an appearance as she cnn, and if Nature has not
been good to her, to improve upon Nature to the
best of her ability. She may have watery blue
eyes and not more than three hairs on her head,
but there is absolutely no excuse for not having
a good figure.
The first thing notices about woman
Is her figure and her general get-up. If she has
what he calls sloppy appearance" and if she
is generally "losing connection" in the back, he
sets her down as being untdy.
Most girls have the sense to look as well as
they in public, if they are trying to induce
some unsuspecting young man to enter the holy
state of matrimony, but just as he is
landed, they take to kimonos and curl papers,
and then they wonder why chubby" has stopped
making love to them. Just as if wants TO
hug woman without waist
SEEMS A TRIVIAL MATTER.
1t really is wonderful that women do not seem
to be able to remember these simple facts,
that remembering them, they do not know how
to put their theories into practice. The matter
Of adjusting a corset seems of itself trivial
matter, but it is really one of great importance.
One make of corset is not to be recommended
more than another, except to advise using one
that is well boned, and has hose supporters at
tached. The bones help to support the back, and
The Salt Lake tribune. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1890-current, 1906-10-21

the hose supporters keep the corset we'll 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 we'll to begin
the fulness around the abdomen will be confined
within the corset.
After the corset is hooked, it is time to give
attention to the laccrs, These should be SO ar
ranged that they are in two sots The upper set
should be adjusted once for all and not laced or
unlaced again as long as the corset is worn.
They should be as loose as possible without pro-
ducing unnecessary fullness about the top of the
corset, for such fulness 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,
or 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
laoers can be adjusted once for all the same as
the upper set 1t is just because women are lazy
in this respect that they have such dumpy fig
ures. The corset will not be we'll down on the
body unless the lower set of lacers is adjusted
anew every time the corset is put on.

veloped in that district in favor of a

dition OF a greater part OF Butte county
such a law would, if general. work a
