set sachet is made in two ways: either
a China silk heart-shaped affair OF a
handkerchief linen triangle as fancy as
you please; and If you dust the cotton
filling with Russian powder 1t will
leave an eastern odor that is elusive.
Tuck the little sachet comfortably be-
tween yourself and the upper point of
your corset steel. This years sachet is
an oblong pillow, quite well filed with
hair and about eight inches long,
made OF four-inch ribbon. You may
need one to wear from bust to abdo-
men to fill in the empire gown 80 as
to avoid a corrugated" surface and
insure the straight lice from high
girdls TO skirt hem. 1t is really nee
essary to fill in the front OF these
nigh skirted gowns. II you do not
want them to cave in at the waist line.
The small square shelds-plain or
lace trimmed--are to turn over your
corset's edge just the place you hap
pen to need them most, and there are
metal clamps to fasten them IN place
Straps ought to be taken up in a
heavy volume. for there are straps and
duplex straps: they come In pairs. and
they come in skies.
To the woman Of generous propor
tons. I'll suggest the absolutely plain
garters arranged in rows on a satin
covered panel-absolute durability must
be her one consideration. For the slen-
Ger maiden. whose health would suffer
if the strap-garter is too strenuous in
its pull. we'll assign the ribbon-decked
ones with frilly edges.
I think there are five kinds of corset
lacers. The elastic ones are not rec
commended by the corsetiere. but some
persons always use them. The two best
sellers are the ordinary French tape
and the fiat linen LAGER. Very pretty
but none too lasting-is the ribbon LAGER.
And II you are looking for durability,
you will find it In the very exquisite
silk braid LAGER.
Now, my pet corset accessory Is a
square yard of folder for the friend who
is sailing across the fishpond She will
need 1t to wrap round the corset that is
resting or temporarily out of commits
sion, and everybody else will forget TO
give it to her. Make il of China silk,
dimity or organdie. I'll stand by the
POWERED organdie. because it takes up

Our Corset Story 1s one E Who W Ksaut BY
THE ACCESSORIES

- ONE women will have none of

- need one or two: but we should
grow ''prodigious tired" were we
to carry about with us the entire con-
tents Of the glass case that displays
these mysteries! They are not mere

faction and that of her family and

Certain Of the newest wrinkles In cor
sstry have become a part of the corset,
and are not made or sold separately.
Among them is the back aattening de-
vice and back-resting strap. which
crosses another strap about the waist
line; there are various self-reducers OF
the strap variety, which can be tight
ened as required. and such small crea-
ture comforts as the white panne velvet
facing along the under side of your cor
set steel and the up-to-date hook under
which to fasten the front of your pet
ticoat to keep it from riding up.
Now, besides these attachments. there
are the abdominal supporters. shoulder
braces. hip-reducers and brassieres-
each one too much of a garment In it
self to be included here.
The Oldest accessory Is the pad-we
call IT a bust-form now-and much Of
the pressure occasioned by the cotton
pad Of other days has been obviated, so
that every thin woman may find the
sort of improyer that will not injure
her. There is an air-filled form that is

smaller ones held In shape by fine wire

Before crowd of several thousand peo-

BEST PITCHERS DON'T
WASTE A BIT OF TINE

Who pitches the quickest game
In the big leagues? There is only
one answer. Cy Young. Look
over the records and it will be
noticed that the games in which
Young has been in the box the
time was short and decisive. And
this leads to another question:
Does a pitcher with the reputa-
tion of pitching such games have
any standing? This. also, holds
true. as most of the star talent In
the big leagues today are the ones
who push the business along and
don't give the opposing force time
to get on to their style. There are
a number OF record slow pitchers,
such As Cuppy. who have passed
along. and in the majority Of cases
1t IL found that it's the men who
show speed on the firing line. not
alone In their delivery. but in
chasing the game along. who are
the ones to draw the big salaries.
