"One thing that women inclined to be

after the first one has gone to pieces.
American women are sometimes
surprisingly careless about their cor
sets. Miss Chapman said No French
woman ever thinks of purchasing a
corset over the counter as il is. She
tries her corset on and she Is never
saGsfied until she secures a stay that
Is not only comfortable both for sitting
and standing. but one that gives her
graceful lines while II gives her the
freedom TO breath easily and to walk
with grace. a woman should ALWAYS
be able to take a deep breath with her
corsets on. You would be surprised
at the number OF women who actually
do not know how to breathe deeply
Through the constant use of faulty
Corsets their lungs have contracted till
deep breathing becomes a lost art One
reason why women faint more easily
than men is because of the restriction
of the corset on their lungs. And now
adays that scientific corset making has
come into existence women do not faint
so easily.
1t is mistake for the thin wo-
man to think that she need not think
about her corsets. To be tru. they do
not wear out so soon, but there are
other things to be considered The
figure Of the thin woman is no more
likely to be perfect than is that of tho
stout woman. The proper abdominal
support is tho best remedy for round
shoulders. hollow chest and fat back
Custom corsets can be made to cure
these defects In thin woman. But
there are not very many thin women
who appreciate this fact

The Lace Jabot Back in Favor.

The woman who likes a little touch
OF white at the throat will be rejoiced
to know that the lace jabots have re-
turned TO favor. and they will form a
pretty feature OF the spring frock and
the spring suit.
Some Of these resuscitated jabots are
made In the familiar double frill effect
centred with a narrow hand Of lace or
embroidery. and topped by a bow, pre-
fcrably Of black satin velvet. Then
there are other styles where a single
frill of lace Is used. and the band to
which the frill is adjusted is cOnspicu-
ously ornamental with its floss and tin
sci embroidery or bead work.
For wear with simple frOcks the jabot
Is made OF handkerchief linen. with a
picot edge. or one that is simply hem
stitched. This conveys TO the woman
with clever fingers an idea for the ma
nipuiation Of the fine handkerchief. SO
that II will do service for the new neck

Keep the Children
Bright and Happy

Happy youngsters must be healthy.
The digestive organs OF children get
out OF order as readily as do those
of their elders, and the result Is
equally distressing. When the bow
els are clogged with an accumula-
ton Of refuse from the stomach the
child naturally becomes cross and
fretful from the discomfort and is
often punished for temper when
medical attention is really what IN
needed.

It's a Wise Woman That
Can Lace Her Own StuVS
But Miss Chapman Corset Expert, Gives Some Good
Advice-It's Because Of Bad Corsets that Women,
Not Men, Do the Painting

Most women don't know how to lace
their stays in the risnt way. And II
is because OF that that a representa-
tive OF the Woman's Herald Ventured
TO ask Miss l.. NJ. Chapman. one or
Washington's corset authorities. for
light on this all-important subject.
Nothing can be done for your fig

think II TOO much trouble to adjust
your corset each time il Is donned-
Make a practice of looseninS the laces
every time you remove the corset.
even though II is in the morning and
you are in a rush. There are vari-
Gus ways of lacing corset. but

by a famous corsetierc. The wrong
adjustment of the right corset may
be followed by injurious effects. both

BEFORE putting the corset on see
that the lacinEs are opened wide. not
less than six or eight inches apart,
with two convenient long loops at the
waist line for adjustment purposes
Ten-yard laCers are best used. Stand
erect before a mirror. SO that you can
see what you are doing. and so as TO

About this time she became Interested

school, In n filthy lane In that city. Here
she instituted a playground and indus
trial classes. and later in the same city
was instrumental In opening reforna-
tory for young criminals.
At all the philanthropic meetings or
congresses which she attended she was
the leading spirit. although at this time
she was unwilling to speak IN public
In spite of her openmindedness she was
slow to countenance innovations FOR
women and was rather out of sympathy
with the women who sought equal rights
with men.
Through her incessant work she Sc

ment whereby a retormatory was opened
in Bristol and the building for this work
was provided by one OF the ragged

Meantime Miss Carpenter had been
growing more and moro interested in
the work OF education in India, and in
1856 when she vas fifty-nine. she left
England for that colonial possession. In
Bombay she undertook reform work In
the schools and prisons with even more
enthusiasm than she had carried on the

spoke in public. II was her object to
