MAY LEAVE OFF THE CORSET
Present-Day styles Permit the Doing
Away With That Garment,
E If Desired.

The woman who has always detest-
into her own. She can lock the hated
articles in the deepest drawer OF her
closet and prepare to be happy IN her
own way, for no longer are stiff lines
and snuggly girded waists the fashion.
To be sure this cheering bit of news
applies only to the woman of slender
or average figure. She who regret
fully admits TO real "embonpoint"
must still put her faith in stays.
The new gowns demand that all our
soft curves should show, but in re-
straint, as it were, and while the cor
set may be discarded you need not
think you can get along without any
aid from the corsetiere. No, indeed,
for while your waist SHOULD be supple
your bust must not have the slightest
appearance of fabbiness, and there
must be no sagging or sloppiness OF
line about hips and abdomen.
If you are to be a corsetless woman
you should add to your wardrobe at
once 'slip-on" and a brassiere, A
slip-on is quite the newest thing,
There are many varieties, some OF
which are merely modified corsets,
boned and laced, but the style for the
slender woman who is turning her
back on stays is of elastic homeless
webbing and extends merely from the
waist to about the length of the ordi-
nary corset 1t is in one piece, and
slips on either over the head or is
pulled up over the legs, chorus girl
style 1t holds the hips firmly, while
permitting the uncorsetted effect so
sought after. With this our beauty
seeker should wear dainty brassiere
to keep the bust in form. You can
see that the waist is left supple and
unconfined For that reason few
exercises to keep any supertiuous
flesh from settling at the waist liue
should be part of milady's daily beau
ty training And the application of IN
astringent lotion to the bust will aid
in the good work.

Goldotha.

The one spot which more than any
other has controlled the history Of
Europe lies, strangely enough, not in
Europe itself. but in Asia. For the
possession OF the site where Christ
suffered, was buried and rose again"
more blood has been shed than Cor
any other. An immense number OF
lives were laid down during the Cru
sades; and for 600 years before the
Crusades, and even to the present
time, a constant stream OF pilgrims
has poured into Jerusalem to worship
at the spot made sacred by the cruel
fixion OF Christ.
From the fourth century after
Christ until fifty years ago this lite
was generally conceded to be within
the Church Of the Holy Sepulchre.
Now two sites dispute the claim of
being the actual Golgotha. The latter
claimant is known as Gordon Cal

that where a farmer is interested
enough in his tools to properly house
them, he is interested enough in
them to care for them otherwise
To house" machinery does not
mean merely to put ib in some tum-
ble-down, leaky shed, or combined
machine-shed and hen-roost
A great deal of machinery can be
placed In a small space If properly
arranged. At the time OF storing it
the shed according to the time 1t will
have to be removed. The machinery
that viii be used late in the season
should be placed in the back of the
shed and that which is to be used
early in the season should be placed
in front. In this way it will not be
necessary to remove a great deal OF
machinery in order to get what is
needed first
Do not forget that the implements
and machines on the farm represent
an investment, and that when ex'
posed to the weather they deteri-
crate rapidly, thus making the up
keep and original cost heavier
charge against the equipment. Dew,
rain and sunshine may cause greater
deterioration in expensive imple-
ments than ordinary use. To leave
the implements at the end of the rows
or in the Held without shelter means
great loss. No progressive farmer can
afford 1t.
Binders, mowers. hay presses, trac
tors, silage cutters and other ma
chimes represent considerable capital
and it is econom. to shelter and care
for them when not in use. A TOO
shed costs little compared to the risk
OF protecting the implements. The

The line of the fashionable garment
is loose, also, seeming hardly to touch
the body.
When it becomes necessary to break
the long line of the garment the break
is placed where the natural break of
the body occurs, the knees, hips, ell
bows, so that the garment becomes a
logical arrangement rather than a hit

Most garments are now manipu-

When Wright reached his Office the
morning after the ball, he found his
attorney, Arthur Morrison, waiting for
him. He had been drawn to Morrison
the first time he had met him and
had asked him to take care OF the pa
per's legal business In this his judg-
ment had not been warped by sud

was worthy of his confidence. Like
Judge Gilbert, he had risen from an
humble home. but unlike the adviser
OF Belmont corporations he had made
his way independently of the malign
influences which constantly seem to
seek TO attract young men of talent
who follow the law as a profession.

CORD TO HOLD IN KlM0N0
Device That Very Properly May Be
Said Is Fill a Long-F.(
Want

The long kimono seems TO have
been permanently adopted from ia
pan; it is so delightful garment to
slip on in hurry. There is no Gd
iustment, no hooking, no buttoning
But haven't there been tirNes when
you've longed for a girdle of soG.c sort
to confne it's flowing folds to the fig
ure? 1t gets so in the way at times!
Yet how ridiculous any girdle would
look upon it but the wide obi sash,
which of course, is a part of the real
Japanese garment. And the obi, while
appropriate and beautiful, is too elab-
crate and needs too much adjusting
for people in hurry
But ii girdles are out of the question
cords are not, and an ingenious wo-
man recently took to making cords
for her kimonos, says the New York
Press The effect reminds one some
what of the flowing, cordbound gowns
worn in the middle ages. The cord is
brought from the back around to the
front or side front, and is loosely
knotted
To make the cord, procure about
eight yards of common cotton cording
and cover it with silk the color of the
kimono To do this. make silk tub
ing of bias strips and thread the cord
through it with a bodkin. or join the
fat bias strips together. turn the edges
in well, place the cording in the cen
ter and whip-stitch the silk about the
cord The eight yards OF cording
should be cut into three pieces After
they are covered with the silk, braid
the three pieces into one. This will

Farmers can increase their yields
and improve the quality of their crops
by seed selection and better plant
selection in the field, and by growing
the seed from selected plants ia a

that the crop of lima beans could be
increased 100 per cent. above the aver
