tions about clothes In general-and
cOrsets in particular-were nothing
short of appalling.
But, you know, it Is one of the char
acteristics of the American woman to
jump to conclusions. A fault 1t is
termed by some. but 1t embodies such
spOntaneity and freshness that older
and wiser heads condone It.
Well. as always happens after a
great excitement, We come down to
earth. and the modification Of the ex-
treme is usually very satisfactory The
case of the corset ID NO exception to
the rule.
The new corsets are high and low,
hut they are not designed to distort
the figure, as has been threatened. If
you have noticed well-dressed wOm-
an, you have realized that the sill
houete lacks nothing OF grace.
Just q practical word about the
long and short" Of the corset-they
must In measure be considered as
comparative terms. The corset must
be high or low for the individual wear

venient height under the arms; It must
not be SO high in the back as to form

has not seen this). thereby sccentuat
ing them.
1t must not be so high in front a. to
form chin-rest for the slim woman
or to "shelve" the bust OF . fat WON
an. The bones of corset should not
be SO long. In either the front or back,
as to make the wearer conscious of
their existence. OF course, the cor
set proper may be longer and higher
than its bones. II the bones be too
long they will be pushed up when the
wearer is seated, which will cause an
unsightly bulge in the corset.
A corset should be fitted to the
wearer In a sitting position. and, if
perfectly right then, 1t cannot be
wrong when any other attitude Is as
sumed.
The slender woman may assume the
high corset with less danger than the
stout woman; for the long corset is, of
course, good for both alike.
The proper fit Of corset Is consid-
cred SO important by the dealers in
good corsets that. in many shops, only
a corset-maker is permitted to super
intend the slightest alteration.

The shooting OF Mrs. Hollis. with its
strange explanation Of somnambulism
and unconsciOusness on the part Of the
slayer has aroused the widest interest
in medical and scientific circles. While
tc the layman there appear many points
most peculiar about the story of the
tragedy as related by the mother OF
the young woman and the husband who
Inwitungiy killed her. the consensus
OF opinion among medical and sci
entifc experts appears to be that
the version of the shooting told by the
principals. while extraordinary, is uu-
doubtedly the tine account.
Or. Smith, the physician who has had
Hollis under his scrutiny practically
since the half hour subsequent 20 the
tragedy is among those who are con
frmed in their belief that lhe shooting
was the act of a somnambuIist, whose
subcOnscious brain was actively pictur-
ing encounters with burglars. producing
what are known as nightmares.
Believes Hollis Story.
q have read much that has been
written on the subject" said DR.. Smith
tEis morning. There is no doubt in
my mind but that Hollis and Mrs.
Forsythe have told the true story Of
the shooting Many remarkable cases
of somnambulistic acts are known to
the medical profession.
''The skeptic may doubt that Hollis
could rise in his bed-as the direction
of the bullet that killed Mrs. Hollis
would seem TO prove-hre the shot, and
then sink back upon his pillow stln in
a condition of sound sleep. But this is
exactly what could be done by a SOM
nambulist, and there have been cases
reported authoritatively Of persons
walking along window lodges IN their
sleep, Of reading books. cooking meals,
and doing many of the normal acts OF
life In some cases a slight shock Is
all that IS necessary to awaken the
sleep walker, but IN many others wake
fulness comes only after repeated blows
or shouts in the ears Of the somnam-
bulist"
Psychologist Gives Explanation.
An interesting explanation OF the
tragedy was given by one OF the pro-
fessors in a local college, who is a
deep student of psychological phenom-
ena.
The most logical hypothesis IN cases
OF this kind" he said. sis to assume
that the brain has two distinct funC-
tons. For the sake OF illustration, we
will assume that the brain itself IS d.
vided into two separate and distinct
parts. One IS the objective and the
other the subjective.
The objective mind has the power
OF deduction. II reasons and accepts
nothing as fact until there is sufficient
proof 70 warrant II. The subjective has
no power Of deduction. It accepts every
thing as fact without question or rea-
sonlng. Everything that the person
hears, sees, or does IS registered on the
subjective mind and remains there.
the power Of reasoning, remember
ing, IN fact. brain power itself, lies in
the ability OF the objective mind 20
draw upon the subjective. The subjec-
tive minds OF all relatives and close
friends are in constant telepathic com
mUnicatlOn, and mind reading, which
is often regarded as supernatural, is
merely the high development OF the
objective mind so that II can call upon
