The recital given by Miss Meta X.
Legler, dramatic soprano of Chicago,
at the Lemon Grove Clubhouse Friday
evening was of exceptional interest
and merit. Miss Legler'S voice was Il
revelation to her audience, appealing
in the sweet, simple lullaby songs us
in the brilliant arias. Combined with
the quality of her voice, she has a re-
markedly clear enunciation, her audi
ence never losing a word. Each num-
Der was we'll adapted to her voice and
her audience. In addition to being
finished performer, Miss 1egler has
also composed several selections, sop1e
of which she gave most charmingly
Friday night, and which We're highly

The dropping, pining, waning wom-
an will come into her own during the
winter The new clothes which the
leading modistes of Paris and New
York have decided upon for their fol-
lowers this year will look well only
on the woman who fOrgets that the
spine is a part of her anatomy.
Before the costumes for the winter
can be worn, the new posture must
be an accomplished thing.
In order to gain the new figure
woman, mere woman-at the dictates
of fashion, must forget that there ever
was such a thing as shape. This does
not mean that she can go around cor
serleSS No, indeed For instead of
doing herself up in stays. as in former
years she will encase herself in rub
Der corset, which will allow the APP
proved cOntortions.
If you want to attain the figure APP
proved by fashion, droop, pine-do
anything so long as you appear ten
drilly and supine. Thrust your chest
out and then allow your neck and
shoulders to sag down upon it. After
you have learned how to slump you
will drape your figure-if you follow
the mandates of the mOdiSteS-in en-
pire gowns.
