general custom. The high schools of
the art OF getting rid OF fiesh-and the
Roman ladies owing to their idleness
tended toward corpulency-were, ac-
cording to the Roman author Petro-
MUS, the baths where painful mas
sages removed the inconvenient fat.
At that time they invented corsets
that were pierced at various places.
Through the holes ribbons were
drawn and tightly tied together.
These corsets often reached from the
shoulders down to the thighs. We
therefore see how near they came
to the modern corset.
These bast corsets, though by no
means cheap, were not durable, and
lad to be renewed often. However,
they surely attained their object Of
rendering thin; for Suetonius pokes
fun at bridegroom who, In embrac-
ing his bride, got his body punched
with holes by her protruding ribs.
For excessively stout women the
bast corsets were, however, still too
soft, and we read of consurs wife
who had herself incaged in a frame
work of soft willow twigs, which she
wore with silent heroism until the
straight line came out of fashion.
Corsets, however. by no means fell
into oblivion. Although it no longer
served as a means of loosing flesh,
the ladies still used them as bras
sieres for the support Of the bodily
forms. And the princes Of the
Church of the first Christian era
had to thunder in their penitential
sermons against the corset, the use
OF which had become general in the
Byzantine Empire.

His return from his more recent

All the furniture on the roof is OF
the same serviceable hardness. 1t
is enamelled in soft gray, and so
may be kept clean always. The
benches are all low, so that stubby
little legs may be long enough to
reach the red floor.
These benches are Bunny benches,
for at each end, where most benches
have sides and arms. these have lit
tie sguatting rabbits, that are forever
curled up in happy servitude to their
charges. The seesaw cannot pos
sibly tip, and it has not one sharp
edge in all its length or breadth.
Just as everything is entirely prac-
ticablc, it is also as artistically de-
signed as possible. The color
scheme Of the roof is gray and
green. The walls form a gray back
ground, on which are painted, here
a bit of leafy vine, or a splendid
round tree with little yellow birds
perching in the foliage, or straight,
conical trees that come all the way
from the Neverland.
An Enchanted Wonderland"
There are beautiful large sun
flowers, which fairly nod at you as
you watch them. And way up on the
wall are mystic enchanted castles,
where all kinds of exciting and beau
tiful things are taking place.
The other end of the garden is in
closed by high fence paling, SO
you see there is no falling off the
roof or wandering into dangerous
places. Growing next to the fence
are various shrubs in long boxes.

that it was too bad not to make use

Apartment House Respects Its Child
Tenants.
Mrs. Speer, you must know, is the
woman who built the first playroom
in a New York hotel and now has
persuaded the manager of the Hen
drick Hudson to do something fo'
the children whom he housed.
Hotels do everything for the
amusement of the grown-ups, but
the children haven't been consulted
AZ all. For the elders there are
drawing rooms, libraries, music
rooms and heaps of other rooms
But the children have been hidden
and kept out of the way. and not
only have no rooms been assigned
them for their play. but they have at
certain times been frankly undesir-
able.
Children Legitimate Hotel Tenants.

as their parents, and there is no rea-
son why pleasure domcs should not
be designed for them. too. AND

body?" ran her argument.
The Home OF the White Bunny
took its name from the bunny turni-
ture and the little Dummies that are
painted on so many Of the toys, and
perhaps because rabbits and little
children have always played to-
gether so nicely, it seemed appro'
pirate to name the prettiest little
playground imaginable after that lit
tie animal.
Star Attraction the Shoot-the-Chutes
The star attraction is the shoot
the chutes, down which the children
coast in great glee. They sit on it,
they lie on it, and come sliding down
the nice, smooth boards.
Then there is the sand box that
has a beautiful green fence around
i, and on which are painted happy
looking girls and boys who are up
10 their waists in foliage and flowers.
In the sand box there is a marvel
lous selection OF toys, with which
one may build anything from men
aeerie and amusement park to an al
most real aqueduct or public library
There are real building bricks, real
concrete slabs and curves and real
beams.
The Old Oaken Bucket. Too.
A we'll that works like any big
properly behaved grown-up we'll has
an oaken bucket. Animals OF every
genus and specie browse peacefully
together on the sandy waste. No
crocodile would think OF hurting the
ducks that are floating on the Sand
lake under a concrete bridge, for, as
) Grace said, I'VE have trained them
terribly, and there is not the least
danger.
All the animals are OF beautifully
enamelled wood. In this way they
are made very long-lived and tidy
for they never become dishevelled
or torn. Occasionally leg is lost,
but then, as Peter explained, they
look as il they were sitting down.
