No better example of the value Of

Edward Payson Weston, who in the
last four decades has walked in public
distance equivalent to passing three
times around the world.
He is hale and hearty, and, thanks
to his lifelong habits of moderation
and sane living and abundant exercise,
is now, in his old age, walking from
Maine to the great lakes.
That he is able to undertake such
feat at his age is due to the training
of lifetime, for six days in the week
he walks from ten to 20 miles and
thus keeps his muscles in condition for
sustained efforts at pedestrianism.
Mr.. Weston stands five feet and
eight inches in height and weighs
when in condition for his walking
trips 14O pounds. He is spare and
wiry in build, although he could hard
ly be called thin. His gait shows his
Astounding vitality, and the clearness
of his eyes and the steadiness of his

Simple Corset Cover.

In these days or the lace, net and
lingerie waist ones corset covers
must be pretty and we'll fitted. The
slipover corset cover is one which
suits many figures and it is easy to
make.
The front is made without any tucks
and the fullness is obtained when the
corset cover is tied in front and at
the waist. The neck and sleeves are
finished with beading and lace. The
back of the corset cover reaches just
to the waist and is fastened in a belt
made of strong embroidery beading
through which ribbon an inch wide is
run.
The front of the corset cover
reaches little below the waist line
and is held in place by the ribbon,
which is tied around the belt. This
corset cover is made in two pieces.
front and back. AS one can tell by it's
name, it slips over the head and has
no opening either front or back.

ECONOMY In DRESS
WELL-DEFlNED PLAN IS FIRST
REQUISITE.
With This II is Quite Possible to Be
smartIy Gowned on All occa-
slons at Comparatively
Small Expense.

The woman who wants to dress
well and modishly on a moderate al
lowance must follow well-defined
plan. She should first take account of
the present articles in her wardrobe,
then decide on what she will need to
enable her to look well turned out on
all occasions for the coming season.
Her first list will be apt to be far too
long and costly for her resources, but
by cutting off nonessentials and man
aging for combinations that will fit in
with her several gowns or suits, con-
siderable variety of effect will be pos
sible with very limited number Of
independent toilets.
This cutting of the coat to suit
the cloth" need not result in any ap-
parent economy; on the contrary, 1t
often produces a distinct gain In style
and individuality, but the woman who
practices it must be able to say mo"
to her inclinations when their indul-
gence clashes with her plan, and she
must understand her limitations. Her
color range should be quite limited
and, above ALL becoming and suited
TO the demands of her environment
She cannot afford to indulge in freak
fashions or in extremes of any sort,
but she should take advantage of
every bit of up-to-date modishness in
The silver messenger. (Challis, Idaho) 1890-1912, 1908-01-28

small accessories such as hats, gloves,
boots and neck fixings that her means
will permit, only remembering that a
few really nice well-selected articles
give much better results than many
things of more ordinary sort.
Every one knows one or two people
who manage to appear as smartly
turned out as their more opulent
friends at a fraction of the cost. Very
often, indeed, their costumes will pos
sess a certain distinctive charm that
the others are unable to purchase at
any price, and paradoxical as 1t may
sound, these women are not the ones
who spend the most time in contriv-
ing their outfits. A well-defined plan
of dressing saves time as well as
money.
Consciously or otherwise, the wom-
an who dresses exceptionally we'll at
little cost has reduced the matter to a
science. She buys only what she con-
siders essentials, though these may
often take the form of very smart "trip

pensive, but enable last seasons hat
to do further service when otherwise
new headwear would be necessary,
and her smart small belongings are
what enable her to make her few
gowns fit in well for any of the many
occasions where they must serve.
There is no haphazard in her we'll
considered scheme, and she patronizes
bargain counters only when their
wares will fill definite want in her
wardrobe.
Probably experience has impressed

of less clever women, with the folly
of purchasing anything simply be.

The vogue of the short skirt has a
great deal to do with the strong de-
mand for attractive footwear this sea-
son.
Though the shoes and hosiery
shown for the long skirt are perhaps
more elaborate than they have been
for seasons, yet the woman in the
short skirt is more particular about
having her footwear faultless.
A surprising number of smartly
gowned women are displaying high
French heels and sheer silken hose,
with gowns of ankle length, while 9TH
ers prefer the Cuban heel and hose
a trifle more substantial.
Low shoes will be worn as long as
the weather permits. and, from one
extreme to the other, the high boot
will take its place.
Suede boots having Is buttons are
shown and are one of the sensational
innovations for winter.
Judging from the display in the GUS
tom shoemakers' windows the ex-
tremely high shoe will be the fancied
style during the winter season.
