man admitted you. One hour and fifty
seven minutes later you left that house
by the same door and returned home
rapidly on foot. You kept your coat

usual custom, you wore slouched hat

Judge Bartelmy, are my facts!"
Bartelmy made desperate effort to

he spoke after infinitely scrutinizing
the accusing figure OF Brand before
him.

a gown is being made. Some dress
makers protect themselves by meas
uring the customers waist before

new corSets, however.
All the corset departments are VII
ing to fit the purchased corset TO the
customer, and it is most desirable 70
have this done: some Slight fitting
will often add considerable improve
ment. It may be n trife too loose

run q tiny cart there. Most figures
have some inequality in the two
than the other. then tho small dart
may be needed in only ono hip of the
corset. The front steels may be u
little too long, and the filter viii
have them shortened. The newest
corset doyelopmcnt-the extremely
long modcls-seem rather eGtrava-
giant until we become accustomed TO
them; but they do improve tho figure
by avoiding the break at the lower
edge OF the corset, ana by distributing
flesh evenly. The bonelenGths must
be suited TO the wearcr. or tho corset
will be uncomfortable. The boning
does not run the full ,ong.E of tho ma
terial In these long models, but even
so they must be adjusted to the
wearer. Always sit down when try
ing on a corset II the ends OF the
bones strike anywhere they are not
only uncomfortable but they will spoil
tho shape OF tho corset By rounding
out.
Cheap Corsets Eesrsvasant
There seems a mistaken idea that
a good corset must be expensive. u
is the cheap corset of unknown make
that is really an extravagance, for II
quickly loses shape and Is then past
all usefulness. Every standard manu-
facturer makes corset5 In several
grades of material and at prices 10
correspond. Naturally there are
greater strength and wearing quail
itics Ia the higher priced models, but
all are excellent in cut. Better
grades of fabrics and boning viii bear
cleaning. which is simply scrubbiDs
with hand brush and soap and .
water, followed by thorough rinsns
and drying.
Not every woman who has grown
stout has the perseverance, to reduce

OF the body Is something that should
