A NEW DESIGN IN THE WAR
NER's RUST PROOF make of
eorsets whose designers introduce the
most truly practical and fashionable
shapes of each season.
STYLE 169 is novel, inasmuch as it
is high above the waist with a compar-
atively short hip that slopes up sharply
towards the back The long, straight
front line gives chic air to the form
cOrseted in this model that is decidedly
Frenchy. The beauty of tall, slender
forms is enhanced in this model. A
point TO call your attention to in War
ner's Rust-Proof Corsets Of moderately
high and ultra high bust is that the-line
where the corset terminates around the
top is not discernible through the dress.

THE LONG BACK GORE-There's
a new feature in corset-making that re-
suits in creating a type of form that is
round and comparatively small of waist
for even large forms This feature is
noted in the designing of the back sec
ton and the split hip-gore and the curv-
ing into the waist of the tapering
seams, reducing the waist size The
corset skirt as it encircles the hips
shapes them toward the back, retain
ing, however, the straight line of the
clasp below the waist
These admirable features are found only
in Warmers Rust-Proof Models and may be
particularly noted in No. 3lS, shown here

Electricity Proves Model Ane.tAetie.

E ANUW
 That electricity will supersede all other agents as an anesthetic is claim ed by eminent scientists.
 Prof. Le Due of Nantes, has invented a peculiar process for applying electric cntrents to animals, which induces cleo tric sleep, which, he believes, may ad- vantageously replace ether and chloro- form of anesthetic' purposes.
 Those who witnessed his experiments describe the results as marvellous. The animal can be maintained in an cleo tric sleep for hours at a time, while sensibility can be restored aI once by merely stopping the current. It seems also to be unattended by any unplean- ant effects of even the best anesthetics causing no nausea nor any uncomfort- able feeling.
 Prof. I.e Dues method can be applied in cases of electrocution when it is de- sired to kill painlessly.
