(S@ YENEkNlOkE Tor mo
I'M thinking that so long
l. y as l kept my face clean
and my heart true my figure
didn't matter.
TOO often have I seen myself
shouldered into the background
socially and in a business way
by Q woman wearing a $35 corset
over a heart worth SIPS. and
with a face that was nothing
extra.
Presence is everything. My
appearance Is me, 70 everybody
except myself, who am too small
minority to count. Even my
dusky housemaid rejected her
awkward, gangIlng lover because,
as she. giggling, said. His knees
is on the wrong side of his legs
I've got my end to hold up In
life. Nature didn't elect to do
for me all that she can do for
a woman. but all the more shall
everything that a corset can do
for a woman be done for me.
How often have l tried to re-
member. how often even quoted.
the terse advice of our old dress
maker while fitting me:
Stand as though you felt
pin sticking into you!
FINALLY the bright but belated
idea struck me that II was easier
and pleasanter to get a really
finely fitting corset and dispense
with the painful thought Of the
pin.
n corset is like a shoe
every extra dollar you put into
il represents value returned In
fit. fexibility and smartness of
appearance. And like a shoe, it's
an autOcrat which holds your
days peace and comfort in the
hollow of its shape. If it in
tends TO make you wretched, nor
prayers nor pleadings. nor pull
ings nor tuggings. can influence
il.
Get on the right side OF your
corset. If the inside doesn't
seem TO be the right side, either
a new corset or misery is in
eyitable.
i've learned that an mex
pensive gown fitted over a we'll
chosen corset gives better results
than a fine gown fitted over the
wrong corset. Hereafter, IL !
buy a good gown I'll give it
good chance.
But as | prefer giving chances
to taking them. both corset and
gown shall come from Wanna
makers"
The sun., 1919-04-08


men are beginning to ask for cor
sets which define their waist-line
a wee trifle. A French cor
setiere in New York has made a
model called The New 1919 Sill
houette for just this very pur-
pose. 1t is a long corset with a
mere indication of curve at the
waist in front, but with a per
fectly straight back. It is in
silk brocade or striped coutil,
and already has become so popu-
lar that it is difficult to keep in
stock.
No one wants high corsets. No
one. Yet many a woman finds
it difficult to wear the new tai
lored skirts because the top of
her corset is lower than the waist
band Of the skirt. We have had
special model made for this
purpose. We call it the tailored
model. 1t is as attractive as it is
practical. 1t comes just above
the waistband and is perfectly
comfortable.
1t is quite feat to construct
a corset which will fit almost any
figure. Yet it has been done sue
cessfully in brocaded silk corset
which is really very lovely at $40.
Another model like it in striped
pink coutil at $3.50.
Wanamaker corsets are de-
signed on real figures so that the
effect may be studied at every
angle. For instance, an elastic
corset has satin castings for the
boning and these stripes of satin
occur just at the right places to
make the corset look pretty when
worn.
A pink silk dotted corset of
coutil has elastic band to enable
one to breathe deeply; the ma
terial wears like iron.
For any one who desires light
weight corset we recommend the
L. R. dancing corset. In the
small sizes it weighs only Q
ounces. 1t is lightly boned. yet
holds its shape remarkably we'll
1t isn't high. it isn't long. it is
easy and comfortable and still
gives straight lines.
~ORSET lines are impor-
~ tant. More important
than anything else.
But TO obtain the full value
of ones expenditure make
certain that the corset is well
constructed. Corsets in the
Wanamaker Salons have
come to be noted for their
excellent materials and
workmanship. Nothing is
permitted to come into the
Salons unless it is of cndur-
ing quality. Such corsets
hold their shape. The finish .
is careful also, adding a
great deal to their appear
ance. 1t is we'll to examine
a corset Just as one would
look at any other article Of
lingerie. There is no excuse
fon' anything On a corset not /.
matching or for any slip
shod workmanship.

The story of the Wanal
maker Corset Salons would
only be half told were we I'd
stop before speaking of the
corset filters and the fitting
rooms. It is a pleasure to go
into the large, light, luXuri.
Gus fitting rooms, and tho
corset filters are most COM
petent. Long experience EN-
ables them to find quickly
the right model and adjust id
properly without firing tha
client. If there are any
minor alterations needed
they are made in our own
corset workroom on ths
premises.
Some idea of the Wana.
maker corset prices may be
found in this abbreviated

Paris Lillians, Sl2.5O to ss5.
Parisienne corsets, So to s25.

EIGURES are supposed
to be uninteresting.

EIGURES are supposed
to be uninteresting.
We beg to differ.
Not women's figures.
Not even the figures de-
noting the prices of new
Spring models in good Wan
amaker corsets!
Some women's figures are
made uninteresting through
the wearing of an uninter-
esting corset.
That comes from an unin-
terested selection.
Many of the women who
realize the Importance of lit
tie things in their housekeep-
ing, their business or their
social affairs, and even con-
slider very carefully such de-
tails Of dress as the shape of
a collar or the precise shade
of the undertaking on the
brim of a hat, practice hap
py-go-lucky methods in the
purchase of a corset.
Others, who may not I'M
derstand all the science that
goes into the making and fit
ting of corsets to the femi-
nine form Gas indeed nobody
does, except an experienced
corsetiere), understand at
least the science of selecting
corsets.
They study the lines of
their own figures somewhat,
then they seek the expert
advice and service and the
first-class goods they can de-
pend on receiving from the
Wanamaker Corset Salon.
Them we call "the well
dressed women" "flne figures"
graceful, lovely creatures" and
the like-and all the while their
figures may not be superior, may
even be inferior, to those con-
cealed beneath badly cut or
badly chosen corsets, worn by
women who humbly envy them,

could come to a better place.
In the hands of the eX-

Corset Salons every type of fig
ure receives studied care. With
300 different corsets to choose
from it is easy to fit any one. Es-
pecially when it's remembered
that 100 models here are made
exclusively for the Wanamaker
Corset Salons and are not TO be
found ready-made anywhere else.

My duties as Chaplain were rather
strenuous now. Every Sunday 1 con-
Quoted four religious services, one at
each village where our men were billeted.
In addition was in charge of the mail,
supervised the operation of canteen at
each place, had charge of entertainment,
athletic and educational work and per-
formed numberless other tasks of less
Importance.
We expected to spend but two months
in the training area. Our regiment was
scheduled to 90 to the front on Nov. 9th
but because of the failure of some of our
howitzers to arrive we were held up
Practically all troop movements were
held up after the signing of the Armis-
tice so it was decreed that we should re-
main near Anglers until the time for US
to return to the United States So it
happened that we were in the same sec
ton of France for more than five months.

County DefieS Tax Order.

The Commissioners of Frederick county
have voted to refuse to comply with the
order of the State Tax Department to
reassess all properties in this county that
have changed hands since January ],
1918. This action was taken upon the
advice of Attorney to the Commissioners
Reno S. Harp. At conference in Bal
tmore last week between the Com
missioners and their attorney and the
State Tax Commission the County Com
missioners were given until Monday of
this week to proceed with the new re-
assessme... After deciding not to com
ply with the instructions from the Tax
Department the Commissioners address,
ed letter TO the Tax Commission set
ting forth reasons why the order was
not obeyed.
1t is expected that legal action will b,
taken which will bring clash between
the state and county officials. The
County Commissioners have fortifi ed
themselves with argume ITS and declare
they will fight the State Tax Dep artm ent
in Court to finish 1t is understood
that about 800 properties are due for a
reassessment under plan of the State
Tax Department The order of the Tax
Commission is to tax properties that
have changed hands since January l,
1917 to their sales value In some in
stances this would increase the present
assessment so per cent.

land. There are 5000 acres in the estate
Forty-five of our officers were invited tt
tea. Col and Mrs. Ashley were charm
ing and hospitable.
Our next camp was near Hursley
While there became acquainted with
the Vicar. an interesting character
Hursley was the home of Cromwell al
one time. The village church records
contain the records of the baptism of his
children.
During our stay at Hursley we had the
opportunity of making several visits to
Winchester, the old capital of England.
There we saw the old cathedral erected
in the 10th century where the remains of
some of the early English rulers are in
tered. We saw the chair on which
Queen Mary sat while being married to
Philip of Spain. We also visited the
castle where according to tradition King
Arthur and his knights held forth at the
Round Table.
From Hursley we marched to South
ampton where we embark ed for our night
trip across the English channel. The
next morning found US locked at LaHa
France. We were to spend one night at
camp outside this city and then pro-
coed to the training area.
While marching through the city on our
way out to camp we were halted for a
few minutes. Then the Mayor of the
city made short address of welcome
and little girl dressed in white present
ed beautiful bouquet to our command
ing officer.
When we reached camp we were in
formed that we might expect an air raid
that night. The Huns had been coming
about once week and they were again
due. However, to the disappointment
of most of our boys who were anxious to
see what such raid would be like, they
failed to come.
The next evening we entrained for a
twenty-four hour trip. We passed through
Rouen where Joan of Arc was imprison-
ed, tried and burned to death. Our des-
tination was the vicinity of Ayers. Late
Sunday afternoon we left the train ard
had five mile hike over dusty roads to
the villages where our regiment was to
be billeted. The regiment was divided
and billeted in four villages, St. Sylvan
Pellouailles, La Plessis and Framelon.
Here our real work of preparation be-
gan. Some of our officers and enlisted
men were sent away to school-artillery,
tractor, radio, mechanical, gas, camou-
fage and maching gun. 1t was not long

A YEAR AS AN
ARMY CHAPLAIN.
Preparing To Leave U. S
And Journey Across
Atlantic.

We were given rousing reception as
we entered the harbor of Liverpool by
the bathers that thronged Brighton Beach
on our right and by passengers on the
ferries that were playing back and forth.
The American flag was flying from near
ly every building. 1t seemed almost that
we were approaching an American port.
Everyone was in excellent spirits. Late
in the afternoon we drck'd and it was
not long before we we've on our way to
"Rest"() camp.
We marched through Liverpool on out
to Knotty Ash about five miles from the
city. The civilians cheered US heartily
all along the route and the street urchins
sang, Hail, Hail, the Yanks are here,
ETC." We were impressed with the
scarcity of able bodied men among the
English civilians. After four years of
war there were very few left at home.
1t was not long march to Knotty Ash
but having spent two weeks in cramped
quarters on transport we were not in
the best condition for hiking. So i'm
mediately after eating the ration that
had been supplied US before leaving the
boat we turned IN. Our hunks were not
the best but we were not disposed to be
highly critical that night. We hoped
that we might remain at this camp for
several days to do nothing much but
"bunk fatigue" The next day we en-
trained for Romsey in the south of Eng
land.
We travelled on the Midland Railway
passing through Birmingham, Swinton
Road, and Andover junction arriving at
Romsey about 10. 80 p. m. This time we
had only short hike out to camp. We
spent several days at this camp. While
there | visited an old abbey built nearly
a thousand years ago. 1t is famed for
its Norman Arches, its tapestries and
mosaics. Another delightful experience
was visit to the estate of Col. Winfred
