In exquisite poetry the struggle of the

ing elfish creatures with the attributes
of human nature, awakes in each heart
an awed response.

characters distinctly, showing in Helm

made her hearers fall beneath the spell
of the beautiful mountain witch who en-
tices the artist-husband from his home.

There is nothing so fatal to smart,
well dressed appearance as an ill-fitting
girdle, and to purchase a satisfactory
one at a price within reach of the
average purse is not always possible.
For this reason many women prefer to
make their own girdles, but the success
of the homemade girdle depends so
much upon the style that a reliable
pattern is essential. The pattern Illus
trated includes three styles of crush
girdle and three of plain. all of them
easy and inexpensive to make, and
specially designed to meet the exigen-
cies of the present season, when deep
girdles and those of empire style are
especially popular. In the medium
size seven-eighths of yard of material
twenty-five inches wide will be needed
for the deep crush girdle,' three-quar-
ters of yard for each of the other
crush girdles, half yard for the deep
plain girdle and quarter of yard
for each of the other plain girdles.
