Film DEPICTS
LOVE AND WAR

Honolulu commenced last night its
acquaintance with a new screen star
for whom considerable vogue is pre-
dicted in the future, when Gretchen
Hartman opened at the Hawaii IN
The Love Thief" the Fox produc
ton of American chivalry and Mexl-
can passion.
With an atmosphere and back
ground in which a story turks at every
turn, the feature is replete with those
situations essential to the interest OF
a film story. There is not a mo-
ment of inactivity and from the time
it opens until The Love Thief" slides
from her horse with an American
bullet in her chest, there is punch
which does not permit interest to
flag.
The story concerns the love of a
feminine leader of Mexican bandits
for an American army captain ana
the plot is furnished by his failure
to love in return. She succeeds at
first in alternating the officers bride
to-be, but with a return of their love,
kidnaps the American woman and sub
mits her to all the ill usage which
her jealous hatred can devise.
The officer falls into the same trap
in attempting to rescue his sweet
heart but they elude their guards to-
gether and win the long race for free
dom.

ed. The stay over the hips should
be as short as possible, as it often
presse in to the thigh. The kirt
of the corset takes care of the flesh,
while the longer boning in back of
the hips holds the clothe in place
and prevents its wrinkling. A wo,
man should remember that the more
bones there are in her corset, the
less graceful she will look, as the
body cannot appear free when it is
too thoroughly encased.
Care should be taken that the back
boning is the proper length for each
individual wearer. On a tail figure
the stay can be as tong as Is inches,
II or IL inches below the waist line,
and four or. five inches above.
Short, stout women should be eau
toned against wearing corsets that
have high bust lines. When seated
a long boned corset pushes up the
flesh in back and front, and causes
an ugly silhouette. If stout figure
. requires a long stay in the back, the
front clasp should be very short, and
braisierres worn to protect the bust
This keeps the figure tidy and neat
when standing, and, when seated, is
marked improvement over a high
busted corset.
Corset manufacturers OF the pres
ent day are conforming more and
more. to natures lines, and render
unnecessary any space for stretch
ing of fabrics. No woman can dc
justice to a corset no matter what
price she may pay, If she selects one
that is too small. A larger corset
Is much to be preferred to smaller
one. as one which has I'd be forced
forward. or backward, will soon loose
its original lines!
A back-laced corset should not be
worn laced farther apart than two
inches. The closer a corset laces
together the better the lines will be.
A front-lace corset should be laced
together, or at least not more than
one inch apart If the flesh pro
trudes through the lacing, the line
is spoiled.
The statement of many women that
they cannot wear a cheap corset is
rot a fallacy, and is easily explained.
There is a considerable difference in
the lines of an expensive and an in
expensive corset, as we'll as in the
material and workmanship. The clos
er the lines OF the figure are fol
lowed, the more gussets, cores, and
seams are required. The sewing to.

that plays 80 important a part In a
Woman's wardrobe cannot be gwen
too much attention. When corsets
are mentioned there will always De
kind souls to put forward the age
old question az to why women insist
upon wearing them. but this query
must be answered in every instance
by the wearer herself.
There are too many makes OF cor
sets to authorize the mention OF any
names and still be fair, so 1t Is
deemed best to generalize, and give
instruction as to measurements and
materials. and allow women and girls
to choose their own models ano
styles.
Women know more about corsets
TODAY then they did a few years ago.
They consult a corsetierre, instead OF
asking for an Is or 20-inch corset;
thew realize that a sensible, natural
and beautiful waist line for the av-
erage woman, should not be less IMAM
Is inches. However. just to know the
waist size is not sufficient to enaole
a woman to procure a properly tituhs
corset as the style, length and de-
velopment is relatively as important.

flesh Of the hips is drawn forward
when the corset is laced, and accen
tuates the popularity of the figure
The back-lace corset has just the op'
Iposite effect, and the flesh that is
drawn back tends to fill the hollow
at the waist line. A small heart
shaped pad in the back Of the corset
just below the waist will will i'm
prove an extreme curve and straight

The 1aek-Laeed Corset
This style is really the best for
all around service, as the stays both

serve the original shape of the cor
set. For women who have any spin

the baek.laced models are a real
boon. Many women feel as il they

support.
Measurements for corsets
Measures for corsets should never
be taken over an uncorseted figure
All measurements should be a little
tighter than for dress lining, and
the waist, hips and bust taken while
standing, also the length Of the front
clasp, and the skirt length of the
material below the waist. A woman
should be measured for the length
and frequency of the boning. Fol

very light, and spaced as far apart
as possible, while at the same time
insuring the corset against wrink
ling between the stays. The bonins

PORT ARMS.

part of him should know his and its place and take it automatically.
 In cavalry and artillery the individ ual has freer play of body than in ill. fantry, where for all movements in line formation he has space of but three feet (about).
 Good training may be had by stand ing square on the feet, heels together and toes foot apart, the body at full height, with arms vertical. From this position bend forward as far as possi- ble, with knees rigid. Then straighten up, with arms erect and vertical In the heat of action this training con- tributes to coolness and precision; also to good order in the ranks. Just as the soldier must stand straight in the line, keep to his own space and regard his fellow on the right, left, front and rear, so in the quarters, the company street or in open bivouac he must avoid all selfish, go-as-you-please conduct.
 The soldier is to be one of an army of 100000 men, a little piece of vast machine, and must fit into his particu- lar place with the nicety of the teeth and grooves of a cogwheel. All of this while in line and on dutXs without warning other than a signal Then comes the order "Port arms!' Ranks dissolve, and the soldier is again one of family of 100, a society of 1000 fellows, all as good as himself Socially the troops must be democratic.
