ALL HELP TO

Upon the homecoming of people who
have returned from summer visits we
hear many interesting things about
model cities. Some one speaks of the
mode city of Detroit; others have a

cause Of the lovely river which runs
through the city; and the cleanliness Of
n place is interesting, while at an
other il is noticeable because Of archi-
%tectural beauty. This summer took a

these two points everything indicated
that people were trying to have model
cities. But it is coming to that, for

increase with wonderful rapidity and
interest.-Woman's National Daily.

There are so many automobile books

the Free Public Library.
A good game for a party of twenty
four is drawing flowers. Pencils n

and each must write the name of Il
flower. the more odd the better. Slips
are collected in a basket. and each
payer draws a slip. He, or she, must
then draw the picture of the flower

given for the best drawing, and a
BOBBY prize for the worst. Split prov

Then unwind, carrying each ball over

the end instructions for some stunt.
Then when each player has presented
his ball of wool to the hostess, he must
do his stunt. I hope these suggestions
may be of some value to you.

M OF PARIS PAY
BIG PRICES FOR STAYS.

Whatever views may be held on the
subject of small waists and tight lac
ing. it is a fact which is often over
looked by the critics of Women's fash
ions of today that corset-making has
progressed on such enlightened lines
during the last decade that it does not
follow because n oma wishes to re-
duce her waist by several inches that
she must undergo the "rehned torture
which -anti-corsetites declare is neces-
sary. The secret of a small waist
really lies in a certain amount of eXer-

of course. says London Tit-Bits, il
was not always so. 1t is not a undred
years ago since stays were composed
not of whalebone or hardened leather,
but of bars of iron and steel from
three inches to four inches broad and
| eighteen inches long. Again, during
the reign of George III. the top of The
steel stay busk had a long stocking
needle attached to it to prevent girls
from spelling their shape by STOPPING
too much over their work.
In the days of Catherine de Mcdici
thirteen inches was the fashionable size
for the waist, and to achieve this an
ov%ercorset of very thin steel plate was
worn. 1t was made in two pieces

was secured when closed by a sort of
hasp and pin. like an ordinary box
fastening.
The box corsets Of today are made on
a foundation of Greenland wllalebonc,
which has steadily risen in price during
the last twenty-five years from f700 To

lent garment yet DEVISED" has been

persists in buttoning it in the back

But 1t may be doubted if the modiste is
the guilty person. She may exert on
siderable influence in the designing of

thousands oil women make their own

grow on the back of them, fifty or sixty
small, scrimpy buttons, where only
Tour or five large buttons are needed.
IL IS difficult to understand why
women want their shirtwaists but
toned in the back. and when they are
examined and cross-eXamined on the
subject they prove to be very unsat-
