ADVICE ON SOCIAL CUSTOMS

The written word, often stands out as
q witness against the writer's good
breeding.
Perhaps in your actions there is
greater opportunity to throw dignity
to the winds than in your words. L
have seen women hurling wrath. in the
shape of undignified words, at con-
ductors, newsboys, children and grown
people. and there has generally. been
nothing gained except the laugh and
disrespect of the onlookers. A lack
of dignity may be funny at times,
but 1t never gains a sincere admira-
ton or respect.
In the general attitude toward men.
/ must exhort women, young and
otherwise, to be extremely careful. 1
would far rather be marked as too
dignif1ed" than to err on. the other
side. j much prefer my self-respect
TO a familiarity which breeds con-
tempt. It is better to possess dignity
than a popularity gained at disregard
for this quality.
/ do not wish to sermonize, my dear
friends. merely wish to bring to the
minds of my readers the fact that in
an unexplained manner we are seeing
less Of serious dignity in women than
in former days. We are losing one
of the traits that, in spite of the pop
ularity OF ''the jolly good fellow" win
ever be worthy of sincere satisfaction
Are you forgetting It? Or do you
stand with those who insist upon up
holding the high ideals of behavior?

and easy movements of the muscles Of
the arms and chest.
The hip line is the we'll balanced,
natural one of a good figure, and let
me explain that there is no constric-
ton at the waist line. A straight ad
justment at the front is the result of
careful placing; the bones are not
so long that every sane motion Is
interfered with, and the pointed lower
edge is there because a freedom Of
the thigh muscles is necessary for
easy and graceful walking. The length
OF these corsets gives the graceful long
lines from the waist down; this fulfils
the requirements OF the dress of today.
In closing, let me suggest that be-
fore the purchase and adjustment of

figure inside its due study. Find out

IN talking over few salient facts
concerning this very important article.
In the first place. there should be
absolute cleanliness in the corset.
Nothing is quite so suggestive Of

so you will sew in a shield on one
side OF the inner surface. This can
be attached on the other side when
the corsets are adjusted, by pinning
with tiny pin that comes just for
this purpose.
Very often the fault of an Ill

the adjustment. Many women care

body without a glance at the line
