Correct Corsets.

Nothing can be more absurd than
to see, as one constantly does, short,
stout woman, who by the aid of
straight fronted corsets, has succeed
ed in so lengthening her waist line as
to get it apparently Just midway be-
tween her toes and her shoulders. To
begin with, this really is not good
style. as the tendency of the moment
rather is towards the high wasted
effect of the empire. At the same time,
this is a season of large liberty in
ones choice in dress, and a well balanc-
ed figure-tall and slim, and yet well
rounded, being favorably suited by a
long wasted efiect-can and wisely
does secure that end The short, stout
woman should strive to establish a
proper proportion between the upper
and lower parts Of her figure. She
should not allow her things to Be

ABOUT THE GLOVES
TO SAVE EXPENSE AND HAVE

First "Fit" Has Much to Do with the
Life Of These Important Dress
Aocessories-Proper Way

will be worth while paying extra for a

Fat fingers can not be forced into
gloves cut for slender ones without
bursting at the second wearing.
A well-ftting glove will be perfectly
easy on the hand, yet show no wrinkle
anywhere! and to be too large is quite
as bad as being too small, for, while
the tighter glove will be no more apt
to crack or split. the looser one will
become shabby sooner
Having exercised care in selecting
gloves, the same should be studied in
keeping them in good condition. The
well known glove mending sets are an
aid to this and a means of keeping all
the necessary articles together for it
often happens that one might mend
gloves in less time than is consumed
in looking up the necessary articles
A set OF this kind includes threads
of every wanted shade arranged in the
form of a broad braid, a small pain of
scissors, an emery and an enameled
darner. small ball is attached to
one end of the darner, at the other Is
an cgg-shaped knob. This is used
when repairing rips in the fingers, the

FINISH FOR GIRLS FRocK.
Use Of MessaIine Ribbon Gives Very
Pretty Effect.

A charming way to finish the skirt
of white lace or net frock for a
young girl is to turn four or five
inch hem, and through this run wide
me essaline ribbon of the same width
In this way the skirt is sufficiently
weighted, and the CLEAN of the ribbon
through the lace gives prettier effect
than If the solid bands of satin were
used.
If the skirt is a gored model, this
device will not be feasible, as the rib
bols could scarcely be satisfactorily
shaped.
But for a gathered skirt or one fin
ished with a straight founce, it gives
an admirable finish.
II inch.deep crosswise tucks are
used on the skirt, run these through
also with the satin ribbon of the same
width.
Pompadour ribbon could be com.
bired with white or pale pastel tinted
nets.
