CARE OF CORsETS.
How TO Prolong the Life Of Expensive
Pairs Of stays.


The care Of an expensive corset pro
longs It's life for weeks and even
months. So the woman who buys ex-
pensiye corsets ought to know how to
take care Of them.
First a word about expensive cor
sets, They are real economy for the
stout woman she breaks cheap
corset in n week or two and never
feels comfortable or looks well In IT..
An expensive corset, made of stronger
materials, boned perhaps more Hex
IDLY surely more seryiceably, wears
five or six times as long as the cheaper
one.
The slim woman can well wear cheap
corsets. she is slight and of normal
proportions, these will doubtless feel
quite as comfortable and look quite
as well as the more expensive sort.
Then she can indulge In the luxury OF
getting new one as soon as the old
one Is worn or solled.
The expensive corset must be sent
to the professional cleaner occasion.
ally. II is possible TO clean corset
at home. although it will not look as
well as one cleaned by professionals.
The corset should be stretched out
on board and scrubbed with a brush
dipped In soapy warm water to which
II little borax has been added II
should be scrubbed until as much dirt
as possible has been removed, and then
1t should be rinsed In clear water;
then il should be pinned out fat on
board to dry In the air, but not in the
sun.
The Frenchwoman follows good
plan She has several corsets all the
time and alternates wearing them
The ones not In use are aired and
then wrapped about wooden cylin-
der, to which they are neatly pinned
or tied. They are then wrapped In
tissue paper or in a muslin or silk case
and laid away until needed.

MY child was very thin and delicate,

What Vinol did for this little girl

Watching and Waiting.

Every day the policy of non-inter-
ference in Mexico is being vindi-
Gated. The Mexicans are fighting
among themselves and are not en-
gagged in killing Americans. Occa-
siOnaIly some foreigner is killed.
Before the revolution started and
while Mexico was at peace, Ameri-
cans and other foreigners were often
killed, yet no International compli-
cations were threatened Adven-
turers went to Mexico hoping to
better their finances. and they as
sumed the same risk as the natives
of the country There is no reason
why either the United States or any
other country should demand more
protection for their citizens than the
natives of the country are receiv-
ing Spectators have exploited
the Mexicans with the assistance
Of grating officials, and they have
drawn many millions Of dollars out
of Mexico Now tn the tide has
turned the other way they should
be willing to abide the result and
wait until the country settles down
There is no excuse for any Ameri-
cans being sent over the border to
pull chestnutS out of the fire for
spectators. If the jingoeS are so
anxious to fight they can undoubt-
eddy find a way to crafty their
thirst for gore by enliSting with
Huerta or under Villa. Should the
United States send soldiers to Mex
leo the men now clamorine for war
would not enlist. War talk is cheap
but war itself is terrible. Fortu-
nately, there is at present no inten-
ton of this country attempting TO
aid the jingoes or spectators. Mex
leans will eventually wear them
selves ont, and they will likely ap-
peal to the United States 20 90 to
their assistance in rehabiltatins
the country. And they will not
appeal in vain. National Weekly.

A Doubtful Character.
By Mrs. Bailie Reynolds.


Miss Fazackerley has a passion
for mountain climbing and makes
life miserable for a niece who is en-
tirely dependent on her, by dragging
her from hotel to hotel and making
herself disagreeable to everyone.
The girl meets Mr.. Macdonald.
The two would be friends but for
insults of the aunt. In a moment
of anger the aunt is reckless and
falls down a cliff and is killed. Mac
donald tells the girl of the accident
and attends to funeral. He learns
of the girls financial straights, and
loving her offers to marry her. She
trusts him when he suddenly dis
appears leaving a large sum in the
bank to her credit which she will
not touch. Again they meet and
are separated. She finds there is a
mystery about his past and set
about to right it. 1t is a good story
told in very interesting manner.

Kazan.
By James Oliver Curwood.
Kazan, the hero of this story of
the far north, was one-fourth wolf
and three-fourths husky.
Kazan had known many masters
but never a mistress until the open
ing of this story. The master al
ways ruled with whip or club and
to be caressed was a new eXper-
fence, that it was appreciated was
proved by his devotion. But Kazan
gave his highest allegiance to his
mate, Grey Wolf, and the story of
their devotion is touching one.
The authors stories of the arctic
are vivid and realistic and appeal

Vain Oblations.
By Katherine Fullerton Geronld.
There are seven stories in this
book, the book bears the title of the
initial story. Mary Bradford, the
heroine of this story, is the daueh-
ter of a missionary. She has been
reared and educated in New Eng
land and as soon as she graduates
goes to Africa to spend a year with
her father. At the end of that time
her sweetheart is to come and mar
ry her and she is to return to this
country with him. Her father is
called to the interior and she goes
with him. A savage tribe attacks
them, the father is killed and the
girl is carried off. The story tells
of the search made by the man she
was to marry and the result The
writer can tell a story and tell it
well, the only objection is to the
kind of stories. They are rather
depressing, depicting as they do the

The scene of this thrilling story
is laid in India at the time of the

Mahommed Gunga foresees this

influence among his own people
and also among the English. He
uses his influence to have young
