The problems of the makers of cor
sets are many and difficult. but the cor
sets of today are marvels of sklllful
designing. In the first place those who
create corset styles must understand
thoroughly the various types Of figures
and they must undertake To make each
one of them shapely without the sac
rifice of comfort. This Is not at all
easy; for the tOo-slender woman must
be given pretty curves and the fat
woman must have hers smoothed out.
Besides. women demand corsets that
are light in weight and have few bones
or steels. Fashion DEGREES that wom-
en- shall be so carefully cOrseted that
they look uncorseted when they are
dressed The contour of the figure
must conform to beautiful lines.
The new cOrsets are made of firm
but very flexible materials and with
the fewest possible number Of bones.
They are nearly all very low In the
bust and give perfect freedom to the
diaphragm. There are equally good
models i'm front and in back-laced
styles so that each woman AUST deter
mine for herself which is best suited
to her figure.
The corset is the foundation of sue
cessful dressing and should be fitted
with the greatest care. We have all
met women who achieve the best style
in the simplest frocks and suits. II Is
all matter Of beautifully balanced
lines and one must begin at the begin
ming to possess them. and the begin
ming Is the corset that fts and shapes
the figure. All good dressmakers UNI
derstnnd this.

SET are shown here. AT tire left the

JAR OF MOLASSES
CENTER OF STAGE
Comedy of Errors" Enacted
by Two Little Girls on Me-
chanicsburg Street

Mechanicsburg, Pa, Oct. H.
Even though 1t was only a quart of
molasses. yet 1t held the stage on
Ssaturday morning in a comedy of
errors in this place. Coming down
East Main street were two little girls
carrying groceries in their arms
which included a bag of salt and a
quart jar of molasses. 1t might also
be added that an umbrella played a
conspicuous part in the affair. Com
mencing an alteration as to who
should carry more, one was heard
to exclaim in a shrill tone and most
tragic manner: IF you don't carry
this, I'm just going to slam this salt
on the pavement this minute" at the
same time emphasizing the remark
with a gesture calculated to make
one less suspecting than her little
sister think the salt was in deadly
peril. In her anxiety to rescue the
salt, little sister made lunge for it
and smash went the jar of molasses
on the pavement? But, anyway the
salt was secure! Then ensued an
argument again as to who should
tell Nom"
Not to lose any time, nor any drop
of sweetness in these days of con-
servation, big sister hit on an in
genuous plan! And here the umbrella
came on the stage, when she of the
active mind began the process of
dipping that useful article in the
sweet mess and licking it off. 1t
was good. and she ate as long as she
could
Finally the children moved on,
and the second scene opened with
the housewife coming out to clean the
pavement. She removed the glass and
while she returned to the house for
water, along came a man intent on
his newspaper and presto, his feet
flew from under him and he sudden
ly sat in the molasses. With a1acrity
he jumped to his feet. and SO great
was his interest in his newspaper
that apparently he did not eT~en lose
the thread of his story, even though
a considerable portion of his trous-
ers bore evidence to the contnrt with
the molasses.
The last act closed with the ap-
pearance again of the housewife
who removed all traces of the tricky
molaSses.

Buckwheat Up.-Indications are
that the reports on the buckwheat
production this week will show a
materially increased acreage in the
northern counties of the state and
that many farmers in the eastern
agricultural section planted fields of
the grain for the first time in years.
The crop is believed to have been a
big one and considerable attention
is now being given at the Capitol
to problems attending its distribu-
ton in large lots. Some of it may
be used for feed.
