Washington correspondent.
Johnson used to be a newspaper

However, Mr.. Johnson did not want
Portland to 60 unfed with crumbs
from his table, SO the evening fol-

he started out to find Harry Brown
and tell him all about it. He couldn't

Ia Poyntx Corset shop Opened a
O20 G Street Northwest.

Miss Matte E Poyntz, corsettiere, who
for more than a year has been exploiting
the La Rou models-the corsets with a
tongue-at TO4 Eleventh Street, has
opened I La Poyntz Corset Shop at go
G Street Northwest, second floor front.
Miss Poyntz has been associated with
the most famous manufacturers and
corsettieres in the world. and prides her
self upon the class of her clientele.
Miss Poyntz pays especial attention to
style, fit, beauty, comfort, and health.
and makes the corsets accordingly. She
has mastered the art Of preserving
beauty lines, and of producing the great
ly desired uncorseted effect, and fits all
corsets in accordance with the strictest
scientific principles. All fittings are free.
Miss Poyntz's corsets are works of art
in their symmetry to the human figure.
The stays are as pliable as rubber. and
are nonbreakable. The corsets give the
new straight lines with the spinal curve
that Hogarth exemplified in his famous
painting of THE Woman Beautiful"
There was time when corsets were de-
nounced as injurious to women. and
probably then they were.
But times have changed. and the ap-
plication of scientific principles to corset
making have made these garments not
only unharmful, but beneficial and COM
Portable. Miss Poyntz prides herself on
being able to fit satisfactorily any figure,
regardless of its Dimensions.
