for human sympathy that went over
INTO the field of actual physical sympa-
thy and brought into medicine ths
woman physician has given us the fem
mime maker of corsets.
The masculine maker EMPLOYS her
in many instances-he is crafty to do
it-and out of her untiring effort in
behalf of her kind has grown the art
that undertook the following of fash
ion S lines and the woman's lines at
one and the same time. and the craft
that has worked itself out in the per-
fected garment of today.
There is craft in the shaping of cores
and the fitting of them together in a
mould to suit the reconstructed form.
There is art and mighty craft in mod

eessity for the steel stays of the past
and the slightly better bones that mod
ems had to accept until lately.
They are artists who have carried
the corset through the wonderful period
of evolution and brought it forth a
beautiful and a comfortable thing, too
good to be hoped for generation ago.
The modern corsets are not all fit
examples of the corset art, because
| some of them have not yet evoluted, -
| but the one that I have and that You
| ought to want is a triumph of the art
of corset making and sample of the
craft.

Somebody has said, "I'n bet you
there S one thing corset man does not
know; how a woman feels when she
wears it,
Now, that S where the cart" comes
in, and the Craft is something still
different. To be master of his trade,
the corset man has had to go into both
the art and the craft of corset produc-
ton. There are but precious few
of the corsetiers who have not now, in
the midst of this corset evolution,
faced and struggled with the fact that
the art and the craft go hand in hand.
The minority who have disregarded
the insistent message of the century,
that brain and Drawn must work to-
gether, are not within the pale. and
their corsets will not win out. A few
such makers there be, who can sell their
wares because, being salesman-born,
they could sell anything, from a rat
trap to book of quotations; but the
corset that is not builded well will
eventually go to the wall

What would our people think if the
government at Washington should send
out an edict that for one hundred days
every man in our whole country should
go about unshaved; that every woman
should take off her finger rings, ear
rings and all other jewelry, and every
man, woman and child should lay away

PEKING.-The Chinese are still
mourning the emperor and the great
empress dowager. The emperor has
already had two funerals, and he will
have third before he is finally laid
away in the great western tombs. His
monument there is now building, and

it is completed, two years from now.
The remains of the great dowager lie
in a lacquered coffin here in Picking,
and preparations are making to carry
her to her last resting place. Her tomb
will cost more than that Of Kwang Su
and her funeral expenses will run high
into the millions.
A Nation in Mourning
1t is now almost a year since the
deaths of these monarchs, but the
period of mourning is just at its be-
ginning. 1t will last for three years,
and during that time the highest of
the imperial clan will keep on their
sackcloth and will have their regular
periods of wailing. Many of the high

the advantage of both employer and
employed. Much of the work of the
centralized household is performed by
machines and the rest is skilled labor
with definite hours of work. When
housekeeping is thus raised to the rank

workers of more intelligent class
