MOVING AND TRANSFxR.
Fret Lcoecn fer a Child.

"Tho first tlme a ohlld has n sense
of responsibility is whom he has 10 dc,
eide whether his shoes fit or hot" said
a mother of Ave little ones. 1--WE
have to put the decision on the little
tots themselves, for no mother, no
matter how many lntuitiOns she may
have, can possibly tell whether q shoe
pinches here, fits tight there, or slips
on the heel. 1t Is always delight
to me when | have taken my children
In for their first pair of hard shoes,
as they call them. At first they act
bewildered when insist that they
alone know whether the shoes hurt
or not, for they have been so used TO
listening to my opinion and ultimatum
on all matters of clothes. Then they
look serious, almost ready to cry. and
finally they get down to business and
try to tackle this problem of the fit
or shoes 1t worries them a good deal
and always feel little sorry when
see their anxious looks, for 1t means
they've had their first taste of respon
sibility and begin TO realize that mama
is not going to settle everything In life
for them"

THE QUESTION or coRssrs.
Shape eeconnIns Alike to the Too
Thin and the Too Stout Women.

There are no radical departures this
autumn in the shapes OF corsets. The
straight line in the front is still with
us, but not, of course, to the exag.
gerated degree 1t had at first. At the
Sides and at either side OF the, center
line the corsets are SHAPED I'D, pinch
ed In, as 1t is termed, t6 produce as
far. as possible the smali-waisted ef-
feet without Iaci6e.fn ff =
Nearly ali corsetS are long belov,
the waist line over the hips. This
shape is good for all It outlines and
preserves the slight curve there of
the too thin woman and modifles and
restrains the too great development OF
the stout woman.
The length below the waist line in
the front and the height at the bust
vary widely. In order to be properly
fitted, one should sit In corsets, and II
they prove comfortable below the
waist when seated, and do not push
up or show at the top, that part of
the fitting Is accomplished.
A lot Of nonsense has been pub.
lished about the extremely small waist
coming. The fact is the straight front
was worn so long, and women have
grown too fond of being comfortable
to permit of tight lacing becoming
general. The small waisted effect Will
be attained when the waist is too
large to be In proportion by enlarging
the rest OF the figure by the cut of
the gowns and the materials of which
they are made, and also by building
the shoulders and hips out, and the
bust. also, where these are deficient.
Any process Of dressing that makes
woman uncomfortable tends to de.
stroy her good looks and to age her.
Tight corsets, tight shoes. and the
other instruments of modern torture
are unlikely to have any but fleeting
vogue, and then only with silly girls
and foolish old women.

PRESSING a Patch.

We have grown SO used to ironing
embroidery or most fine work on the
wrong side that most women do the
same for patch. This is quite a
mistake as pressing directly on the
surface of the patch fattens the sur.
face and makes it much less dis.
tinct.
II, however, the material is of a ma.
ture to take shine easily a thin cloth
should be put between the iron and
goods. but the pressing shonld be
done on the right side without fail.

AFFAIR IS v[|lEO IN MYSTERY
Claim that a Negro Tried to Commit
an Assault Puzzles OiiicerS.>

A veil OF mystery apparently en-
shrouds the report of an alleged at
tempt Of a negro to commit a serious
offense In Bullard Heights Friday
night. The mysteriousness OF the af-
fair is intensified by the secretive-
ness maintained and the effort made
to keep the facts from the public. An
Investigation by the officers failed to
develop any clew that would lead te
the identity of the author of the all
legged assault, and it Is understood
they were not furnished with any de.
tails on which to work Requests
were also made in an indirect way
that the matter be kept out of the
papers.
From the officers who attempted
to make an Investigation OF the mat
ter the Information was ascertained
that about s o'clock Friday night
while Miss Owens, aged about Is
years. was sitting on the front porci
1t the home OF her mother, Mrs. ]
L, Owens, she was attacked by al
uAknown party. It il claimed tha
