say. we have this lady as much at heart

them to rival that OF the souvenir spoon
fiend. Really. we love not the queen
less. but the lady of the bulging corset
more. We want to counsel her how to
avoid a meal-bag catastrophe.
Oh. there are corsets for the rich and
corsets for the poor: corsets for the
young and corsets for the mot so
young: cossets for the fat and corsets
for the thin: corsets for all sorts and
conditions Of women-a corset for you!
Then there are a thousand things to
say about each one Of these thousand
corsets.
The corset Is as individual A. ones

could not make a more economical choice than

which Is showing this charming combination
OF cloth and liberty satin there is also sage
green made almost like 1t.
Lingerie blouses. too, show a marked change
from those Of last year. The first lingerie blouse
to the left is OF sheer linen. trimmed with cluny
lace and hand embroidery arranged in an en-
trely new way. The lace gives fiat and long
line to the shoulder. while the sleeves on this
model do all they can to carry out the effect
They are perfectly plain and untrimmed, quite
tight from the arm size all the way down to the
wrist. Such sleeves must really button down
the forearm, for otherwise they would tear out
when the waist is put on.
The plain tailored waist Of sheer linen with
narrow French beading is an entirely new move.
Were the beading not used this waist. an
equally attractive effect might be made by using
a tiny piping in mauve pink or blue. This
would carry out the same idea. It could also
be made up In q charming way were the mate
rial used a dimity with narrow stripe.

The horse the man was driving got
to acting up and one OF the Lewiston
party got out 70 lead it, but when he
got up to the buggy he found the
old lady very much excited and the
old man said: .Say, mister, If you
will lead the old woman bv I'll take
care of the horse" II

with only one cradle ahd the kid
that had to sleep on the floor grew

plants will be completed and ready
for operation by the middle or last
Of January, with that the duties and
responsibilities of this Commission
cease. We wish however, to call at
tention to the fact that it will be nee
essary to formulate some form of gov
eminent and management for the wat
erworks, together with a system for
rates, connections, ETC., as well as a
contract with some meter company
for meters. There are at present no
laws whatever of the City govern
ing this. Also the sewer system will
now necessarily be a part or an adj
junct of the waterworks and the laws
governing it should be changed and
revised. 1t seems to us that this snouid
be prepared and become an ordinance
and be thoroughly understood by the
people before the operation of the

being only three months. We do not
