 Find your particular make of silk stockings and stick to that make. Some of the best makes differ in proportion and though you can usually pull stocking up to fit somehow, one that does fit perfectly will give you less trouble and will wear longer because less strain is put on it. For instance one of the handsomest and most ex- pensive silk stockings on the market is very long and slim. On a leg that departs from length and slimness the. top of the stocking binds uncomfort- ably. and if you get a large size-to acquire more room at the top-the ankle part will wrinkle so badly that the stocking must be hauled up tight every minute. Then the first time you bend your knee too far. beholdl an ugly run in the silk. Some stockings have very high tops and on short women the top must be doubled over and the hose supporter clasped through the sheer silk below the rein forced top.

 Lean over and touch the floor with your hands twenty times night and morning, being careful not to bend the knees while you do the exercise. This will strengthen the waist muscles and keep the stomach flat.
 Learn to walk with your legs only. That is, do not push your shoulders forward. swing them from side to side, or swing the arms. The body above the waist should appear to float through space and the legs should be Timber, not stiff. Use the muscles of the toes when you walk and fiex the knees. Lessons in rhythmic dancing will do great deal for you if you are not a graceful walker.

to the proprieties. As matter of
 fact rolled-down stocking is cool,
 comfortable and practical-when
 skirt Is long enough to cover the leg
 to the ankle and if you are slim
 enough to dispense with corsets which
 have to be anchored fast to the stock ing top with elastic hose supporters. you will find rolled-down stockings de- lightful on warm summer mornings
 Women who have adopted the style but who cannot dispense with securely pulled-down corsets have taken to round garters. or kneelets of betting and the garter elastics are attached to this knee-band. Can you imagine anything more uncomfortable than that?
 If you really fancy the rolled-down stocking. you must learn how to keep 1t up trimly so that 1t will not wrinkle at the ankle. Of course. a garter of elastic may be worn around the leg and the stocking rolled over the garter, but a tight elastic band around the calf of the leg is almost painfully un- comfortable in walking. Better to learn the old-fashioned way of rolling and fastening a stocking top. Many of the peasants of Europe wear their stockings this way and have for gen. erations; anu it was the way ourSown great-grandmothers kept their stock ings from tumbling down in the days before elastic hose-supporters were thought Of. This Is the way to do it:
 With finger and thumb pull the top of the stocking out from the leg as far as you can stretch it and while holding it stretched with one hand. roll the top with the other. Roll over and over until you have the stocking as low as you want It; then twist the out portion into wisp and tuck the wisp under the roll you have made. Rolled thus. stocking will keep it's place all day and never slip down. If it does happen to slip you can readJust it in two minutes-after you have caught the trick.
 Mermaid stockings are another fad of summer time. They are of sheer thread silk honeycombed with lace work in a fish scale effect that looks very sleek and Mermaidish on the leg when the tint of the flesh gleams

of stocking that fits you-that Is just the right height at the top. whose foot length is in good proportion to the width at the ankle and top for your special requirements. Then stick to that special make.
 Gone is the day when one ordered half a dozen pairs of stockings all alike and felt well supplied for sea- son. There are so many kinds of shoes and slippers now-and each style de- mands a special style of stocking that hose must be selected in indi- vidual models, just as one selects hats or petticoats. The average woman who dresses as well as she can afford to but has to study economy all the same, needs a supply of stockings something like this: Three pairs of plain black silk stockings, three pairs of plain white, pair of lace striped or clocked silk stockings in black for Aress-up wear; specially beautiful white silk stockings to go with white satin slippers; stockings to match dancing slippers of various tints; stockings to match gray or bronze slippers; three pairs of wool cashmere stockings to go with sport oxfords; three pairs of brown silk stockings to go with tan calf oxfords or pumps; and three or four pairs of fine white lisle stockings to wear summer morn- ings with house slippers.

 Corset Preserves Figure Lines X Most doctors are in favor of corsets nowadays. since corsets have been scientifically constructed to support and help the figure and are no longer intended merely to give lines of fash ion. The graceful girdle corset of today, worn with a brassiere that holds the bust firmly, preserves the natural beauty of the figure and gives a trimness of effect that cannot be achieved when several garments are donned over the corsetless figure. A corset of any kind makes It's wearer remember to hold herself with more formality and correctness: without any corset at all most women would sooner or later fall into the slump Ing habit and lose what lines they had. And most figures uncorseted would look anything but trim and graceful-and smart-under modern costume.

Can You Lounge In Your Corset? If Not It Is Not the Right Corset for You-Physicians Assert Some Support Is Best for Feminine Figure In Active
 Exercise-Right Corset Never Evident

which always makes heavy waist line in time and the line of the back will remain straight below the waist line and not have that ugly, matronly curve which thrown back hips always give.
 A friend meets you on the street and exclaims: How well you look, my dear!" Quite involuntarily you draw up and take the correct position chest lifted a bit and the muscles around the waist supporting the torso See to 1t that you keep that position grow in the habit of holding it-and do not slump back into your corset the moment your friend has passed on. The naturally perfect figure that has less need of corsets has these strong, supple waist muscles. In youth they are almost always firm and sup pie. but in later years woman allows her corset to do the work of holding up, and more and more she slumps down upon--or into-her corset and the waist muscles become f1abby from want of use. If the figure is inclined to be fat. the fat will settle around these useless waist muscles and the waistline will grow gradually heavier and more ungainly.
 Exercise Will Aid A Good Corset
 So, no matter how beautifully your corset fits, keep your waistline trim and strong with simple exercises and by that much will you ward off the appearance of advancing years.
 The first exercise Is the exercise of correct posture just referred to: Hold your chest up and make your waist muscles support your diaphragm until you dc. this naturally. without think ing oft all the time.

Modern Clothes Designed To Give
 Corsetlcss Effect

In none of the illustrations of in- door and outdoor costume is the corset evident. These frocks and the sport suit are appropriate for any age of femininity to fashion now but only avery young girl. slim and firm of muscles could wear such cos tunes absolutely without corset sup port. Modern clothes are built to sug- gest natural figure lines, but the fig ure lines must approach as near as possible natural perfection before the clothes are donned; and this effect in most cases can only be achieved by the wearing of a flexible. cleverly cut corset of absolute suppleness and comfort. Not forgetting the indispens- able brassiere which holds the flesh above the corset in firm, trim lines.
 Two illustrations show the perfect corset in standing and sitting posi- tiops. The wearer of this corset, in her frock or tailored suit would have perfectly natural figure lines and would seem to be wearing no corset at all.

 H corset nowadays is to efface it. self utterly. Its presence must - not be suggested except by ex- cellent figure lines. Its wearer must look as though she had a classically. perfect uncorseted figure. not only when she stands erect, but when she sits or lounges, or plays tennis. or rides or dances.
 Now only one woman In fifty has classically perfect figure by gift of nature; the other forty-nine have some defect or other in proportion, if not in boise, and it is the business of the correct corset to conceal the de- fleets cleverly and suggest the perfect, natural silhouette. The trussed-up ef- feet of Victorian times Is entirely out of fashion-the more free and natural and supple a feminine figure is, the more does it please fashion now. But this free, natural, supple figure, to be beautiful. must also be graceful, slender and unpronounced in curves.
 Sitting Position Test Of Corset
 Most women can stand upright and hold themselves in a good position; and when they are having a new cor set tried on they unconsciously as- sume the best position they can. But in normal, everyday life no woman keeps always in her best position. There are moments when she relaxes and it Is those moments that the corset must take care of. Never de- eide in favor of a new corset until you have experimented with it sitting down, leaning back in a low chair, picking up your handkerchief from the floor and sitting on the floor. If it is perfectly comfortable In all these positions. well and good if not, refuse to accept it. Sometimes little al- iteration will make corset comfort able. A bone just mite too long at the front may be shortened; gusset may be run in at the top if the figure is very full above the waist and slim in the hips. An expert corset filter understands these things and will make suggestions. But do not accept her word entirely; see for yourself how that corset looks under your frock when you are sitting and bend ing as well as standing erect. Few fitting rooms for corsets are supplied with hand mirrors. Insist on having one. or take one along in your hand bag, and study that corset from every angle. The Corset Can Do Much But Not All
 Cultivate the habit of corset posture and do not leave everything to your corset. Think constantly of your pos ture for while, until you learn 10 fall into that posture unconsciously, instead of assuming 1t only when you happen to think. Shoulders, back and hips back!" says the gymnasium teacher. If you cultivate that shoulder back and hip-back position you will acquire a straight. martial carriage but, you will also acquire a decided | curve outward below the waistline at the back. And remember that the line of youth in the back Is extremely | straight from neck to hips. Here is a better way: Rest easily on your feet, and instead of throwing back shoulders and hips. just draw the chest up and lift the chin a little. This naturally throws the shoulders back and lifts the torso-keeps it from slun,ping down into the corset

Gay Bedspreads for the
 Bunqalo1U

N MEN bedspreads with wool em- H broid cred cross-stitch or with
 - stenciled prinings in color are ready to give smart summer style to cottage and bungalow bed rooms. Elaborate and luxurious bed room belongings are not desirable in sum mer time; the ideal now is coolness, crispness, daintiness. So handsome lace and silk covers are packed away and the bed rooms of the summer home are made restful and inviting with summery belongings.
 Linen covers are especially smart this season and one may have cream or ivory linen with printed designs in color, or with simple, effective em- tbroidery in croSs-stitch or darning stitch; or plain colored linen covers edged with ricrac trimming. A delight full guest room with sunlight Altering through drawn green blinds, has pale green linen covers on~bed, table and dresser. White ricrac edges all the covers and simple embroidery in darn ing stitch ornaments each cover. This room has a cool green mating with black and green rag rugs before bed and dresser. The chairs are of green wicker, bed, dresser and table of light green enameled wood. Can you imagine anything cooler and more restful for the guest who arrives after long journey on torrid summer afternoon?
 Another guest room is done in law ender and rose. A gray mating on the floor with lavender rag rugs. Fur niture of gray painted wood with tiny nosegays in lavender and rose. Covers of white linen with bowknot stencil ings in mauve and pink. Such rooms are dainty and cool and the linen cov- CTS are easy to take care of. They may be laundered crisp and fresh for each successive guest.

Such motifs of embroidery are not placed on the frock with studied effect; they seem to be thrown at 1t, and wherever they alight the effect is smart. Al chemise frock of cream linen, drawn in under green moire ribbon sash, has three motifs or yarn embroidery in pale yellow. pale green and old blue.
