back. AS to the front. he combines COM
.ort with smart appearance.
The back and sides are beautifully fitted
and made as tight in these places as IS
comfortable until the corset reaches the
bust, then from this point to the front
closing the fit is quite loose, to allow OF
all superduous flesh being packed into
the space.
This looseness continues for two or
three inches below the waist line, SO that
the breathing may be perfect and easy.
Below this point to the edge the corset
is very tight fitting, keeping the abdomen
back well and creating an erect figure
On the whole. 1 was extremely well inn
pressed with this model. and any woman
giving an order for a corset might with
profit. think. mention these points to her
corsetiere. Any maker who has her
clients interests in view is always glad
to have suggestions.
The fashionable corset Is long wasted
and small at the waist line, an impossible
model. seemingly, for the stout woman
yet she wears it and falls little short OF
appearing as monstrosity. for the flesh
is lifted so high in the corset that 1t al
most supports the chin, while below she
is laced so tightly as to send the figure
out of all proportion.
This is such a mistake. Far better
generous waist measure than an enor-
nous bust. whether fashion so DEGREES or
not.
The woman whose abdomen is the most
prominent may with advantage raise 1t.
but not as some do. away above even the
waist line.
Those whose busts are small in COM
parison with the waist and hips should
lace tightly from the waist line down
ward and have the corset quite loose
above.
Another point not to be lost sight of is
that the short stout woman Will look
shorter if she insists upon small waist
regardless of the size of the bust Many
people imagine that small waist line is
the standard Of fat or slenderness, and to
compress the waist seems to be the one
aim. They are, however. only deluding
themselves, for such measure empha-
sizes what is desired to be concealed.
To the woman with the large bust and
the small waist l should say: Select
corset that fits fairly high in the-back
snug under the arms and cut low in the
front.
But supporters should be sewed from
under the arms and laced over the bust
supporting it. A heavy, hanging bust over
a very small waist is not desirable. At
the same time only a short corset is pos
sible. SO that the bust supporters are tn
necessary medium. The lacing will allow
Of any necessary adjustment
The average stout woman Of middle age
say forty bust, thirty waist and forty-fouI
hip measure may lace in well below the
waist line and find her figure improved
and the same may be said of the tall
stout figure.
AS to the advantages of the ready
made corset: First of all. there are
a number OF models to choose from, any
Of which may be tried on. SO that one can

Alterations will no doubt be necessary,

ployed to attend to these matters. so that
there is reasonable expectation of get
ting something entirely satisfactory.
When it comes to fitting decidedly
poor figure l am entirely In favor Of the
ready-made corset. on the principle that il
is a better plan to mold such figure into
a corset planned on perfect lines than to
cut a corset to fit the figure.
An expensive corsetiere would probably
be successful. but unless one has plenty
of money it will be better to take chances
on the ready-made article.
On the same theory, I think IL our

the average workman conforming to
Individual lines) the extremities of some
of us would not look quite so shapely as
when encased in smart. stylish coverings
bought ready for wear and modelled from
perfect lines. So why not corsets?
When shoes or gloves lose their shape
we discard them for new. The same thing
may be done with the corset. In time, who
knows. one may actually begin to take on
the lines of the good corset if worn care
fully all the time.

practically the same acclaim that is
accorded the feet and every moment
of their time is taken up with ex-
cursions, luncheons and dinners
The delegates were present today
at six different functions, and with
banquet at the Bankers club,
where many addresses of cordial
and complimentary nature were
made by the visitors and their hosts.
The general opinion of the business
men as regards to the outcome and
result of the visit is entirely optimis-
tic. They believe that their stay in
Japan, and their improved acquaint-
ance with business and other condi-
tons will tend toward the material
improvement of future commercial
relations between the two countries.
In addition to this, the visitors
have been most deeply impressed
with the sincerity of the friendli-
ness for Americans manifested on all
sides.

For some lov'd memory of its own;
Sc let me in thy heart abide
When we are parted.
When we are parted, keep for me
The sacred stiffness of the night;
That hour, sweet love, is mine by
right;
Let others claim the day of thee!

My spirit shall discourse with thine
When stars upon thy pillow shine.
At my hearts door l stand and beat,
Though we are parted

The prospects of republican success
this year as the campaign draws to a
close are encouraging. The State OF
Washington is conceded to be repub-
lican as far as the state ticket is
concerned, and the election of a re-
publican legislature and the conse-
quent elevation of Wesley l.. Jones
to the United States senate is equally
certain.
Republican congressman will also
be elected. from the three districts of
Washington, and the third district
has reason to congratulate itself on
the fact that it will have such an able
representative in the person of Miles
Poindexter of Spokane 1t is conf
IDENTIFY predicted that Poindexter will
be recognized as the ablest member
of the Washington delegation in the
lower house. As a result, the inter-
ests of eastern Washington will be
ably championej by man who clear
ly recognizes her needs.
AS far as Chelan county is con-
cerned, the republican ticket as a
whole is such as to merit the approx
al of all republican voters. The ticket
was the popular choice of the repub-
lican voters, and there are enough
of them in the county to elect it.
Unless all signs fail, this year is to
witness republican victory for the
national, state, legislature and county
tickets, and a revival of confidence in
business and increased prosperity.
