HOW TO SAVE
MONEY WHEN
SHOPPING
BY MRS. HARLAND H. ALLEN
THE RIGHT CORSET
%, 1922. Harland H. Allen.)

II you still wear 'em, it is important
that you Should know the kind Of cor
set you can wear with greatest com
fort, and the kind that gives you the
best lines.
There are recognized to be nine types
of women to be fitted with corsets,
and all up-to-date corsetierres now pro-
vide for these types. They are: "a
The short, slender figure; (2) The tall,
slender figure; (3) The short-waisted
figure; a. The short, heavy figure;
% The tall, heavy figure; (6) The
Alll-hip figure; % The full-bust fig
ure; (8) The swayed back figure; and
(9) The normal figure.
Here are a few suggestions as to
the kinds of corsets that are best for
your build.
If you have a short, slender figure,
choose a corset moderately short, light
in weight, and with few stays.
The same holds for the tall, slender
figure. with the added caution that
the corset must be long enough over
the hips to give an unbroken line.
Never wear a corset too tight, as this
only makes a slender woman appear
more slender.
For the short-Waisted figure, the cor
set should be fitted rather loosely, and
worn well down on the figure. Be
sure that the corset is short enough
below the waist line in 'front.'
The short, heavy figure requires a
corset with short stays, to prevent
''hitching" up when the wearer sits
down, thus making her appear shorter
wasted than ever.
If you are tall, inclined to the heavy
figure, wear corset with a very long
skirt. Let the length come at the
back and sides, however, keeping 1t
short in front A corset that is too
tight on a large woman will cause
her to appear to be "all corsets."
The full-hip figure has the same
problem, and the corset must be long
and we1l-boned over the hips. Several
strong elastics are necessary to fasten
the corset to hose. Do not wear cor
set tight in an attempt to reduce size
OF lHpS, OF termination VI lne corset
Will show, giving an ugly line.
For the full-busted figure it is gen
orally more satisfactory to wear low
busted corset and conf1ne the extra
flesh in a Well-ftting brassiere.
The swayed-back figure takes an or
binary corset, ana where the back is
very much curved, a small corset-pad
is attached to the inside of the corset
where needed.
If you have the happy perfect fig
ure, you have only to choose the cor
rect size for your waist, and a COM
Portable length and weight. A size
two inches smaller than your ordfn-
airy measurement is the general rule.

afraid. It was the thought OF adding
torture to this long-suffering man. All
at once Cameron sWore that he would
not augment Warrens trouble, or let
him stain his hands with blood. He
would tell the truth of Nell's sad story
and his own, and make what amends
he could
Then Cameron's thought shifted
from father to daughter. She was
somewhere beyond the dim horizon
line In those past lonely hours by
the campfire his fancy had tortured
him with pictures of Nell. But his
remorseful and cruel fancy had lied
to him. Nell had struggled upward
out of menacing depths. She had re-
constructed a broken life. And now
she was fighting for the name and
happiness of her child. Little Nell!
Cameron experienced q shuddering
ripple in all his being-the physical
rack of an emotion born of a new and
strange consciousness. He felt that
it had been given him to help Warren
with his burden.
He returned to camp trying to
evolve plan. All night he lay
awake thinking.
In the morning, when Warren
brought the burros to camp and began
preparations for the usual packing,
Cameron broke silence.
"Pardner. your story last night made
me think. I want to tell you some
thing about myself. In my younger
days-it seems long now, yet it's not

BROOM TIPS

When buying a broom, grasp the
handle firmly in one hand and try to
twist the brush with the other. You
can tell in this way if the brush is
loose on the handle. If it is not pref
ty solid, do not buy it.
1t never pays to buy cheap brooms
or brushes. Always choose corn
brooms with long fiber, tough and brit
tie; otherwise they will soon break
good corn that there are no seeds.
Green-colored, soft broom-corn fiber
wears longer, but the mere fact that
1t has a tendency to Iedness may not
be objectionable. There are many
grades of broom-corn, which is grown
in several parts of the Middle West,
and used for this purpose alone. Only
the top part of the stalk and head are
made into brooms. Manufacturers re-
fer to the many grades as Green hurl
corn" Medium quality hurl" Sound
good-common," Dwarf corn for
whisks," Common red tipped insides
and covers" Stained and damaged"
The process of making brooms is
very simple, and are still made by
hand, especially in prisons and peri
tentiaries. First the corn is sorted
into equal lengths, b1eached and dried.
It is then placed around the end of the
stick and fastened with the wire; this
is done by a winding machine. The
broom is now a conical shape and
must be f1attened out in a vise 1t is
then seWed by hand, or by power, with
stout Irvine, after which the brush is
run through a scraping machine to re-
move any seeds left on the corn. There
is left but the trimming, and the plac-
ing of the little plush or velvet guards
over the wiring which is omitted In
the cheaper grades-and the brooms
are ready to be labeled and punched
into dozens for the market.
A new broom should always be
dipped in hot salt water. This tough
ems the brisfles. Frequent washing
in hot soapy water will keep them
soft and pliable, and lengthen the
wear. Brooms should be hung up, as
the brush is soon ruined by standing
on the floor. Keep the ends cut off,
30 the bristles will wear evenly. When
the broom begins to spread" bind
the bristles tightly together about half
way down, using wire, or even. a very
strong cord. You will be surprised
how much longer your brooms will
last if given little such care.

Oklahoma scribbIer Properly Rebuked
by Man Who Knows Those of
Calaveras County.

For 40 years after Mark Twain wrote
his story of the celebrated jumping
frog of Calaveras county, California,
no writer had the temerity to suggest
that there could be in any other part
of the country bullfrogs comparable
with those in the famous mother lode
country.
Recently, comments the San Fran
cisco Chronicle, some foolhardy scribe
from Oklahoma broadcast story
to the effect that Oklahoma bullfrogs
were capturing and devouring unwary
chickens. The story was a palpable
attempt to discredit the Calaveras bull
frogs and has brought forth merited
rebuke.
A modest and essentially veracious
Tuolumne county miner, commenting
on the Oklahoma story, brands it as
rank imitation of what really hap
pened near Shawmut, Tuolumne coun-
ty, just across the line from Calayeras
county. He says n lot of Calaveras
bullfrogs were washed. down into q
creek in Tuo1umne county and that
shortly thereafter young ducks began
to disappear.

began to take keener note of his COM
rade, and found him different from
any other he had ever encountered in
the wilderness. This man never
grumbled at the heat, the glare, the
driving sand, the sour water, the
scant fare. He was tireless, patient,
brooding.
Cameron's awakened interest brought
home to him the realization that for
years he had stunned companionship.
In those years only three men had
wandered into the desert with him,
and these had left their bones to
bleach in the shifting sands. Cameron
had not cared to know their secrets.
But the more he studied this latest
comrade the more he began to suspect
that he might have missed something
in the others. In his own driving pas
sion to take his secret into the limit

Warren leaned forward a little and
looked into Cameron's eyes, as if
searching there for the repentance
that might make him less deserving Of
a mans scorn.
Cameron met the gaze unf1inchingly,
and again began to speak:
'eYou know, Of course, how men out

Warren stiffened upright. It seemed
that there might have been a blank,
a suspension between his grave in

Cameron felt his heart bulge and
contract in his breast; all his body
grew cold; and it took tremendous
effort for him to make his lips form
words.

The old man rose and lowered over
Cameron, and then plunged down

harsh contact, the pain awakened
Cameron to his peril before it was

him from being hurled to the ground

WILD BULLFROG TALE

One duck, larger and wiser than
the rest, permitted himself to be swal-
lowed all but his tail and legs, where
upon he started padding and brought
the bullfrog ashore. Thereafter he
made. a regular business of catching
bullfrogs in this manner. The miner
says he sold 159 frogs caught in this
way at $3.50 a dozen. He is training
other ducks to hunt bullfrogs and con
templates giving up mining. It's Il
