Increasing Interest in Corsets
BY MARY MARSHALL.

of living-so long will these support
| ing garments that we call corsets have
! 10 change from season to season,
And womenS figures change, TOO.
Women grow older thinner, fatter,
more or less eXacting in their taste,
more or less Dependent on support.
There has been within the last few
weeks 2 greatly increased interest III all
sorts OF corsels-girdleS, brassieres. cor
selets and the rest. This is, of course,
because of the fact that American
women are Just rousing themselves TO
the fact that the new type trocks de-
mand more graceful bodily contours
than most women can present without
some outside aid. Girdles that hold the
rips securely but leave the flesh about
The waist to take care of itself were all
that many women needed few months
ago. Corselets that flattened out the
figure gave others the smooth founda-
ton they wished to have. But it is no
longer sufficient to have slender hips.
Waists also must be Shapely, and the
fat bust has definitely gone out Of style.
There is a new type Of corset that
is likely to I'LL the bill for many WoIn-
en-. The sheath extends high enough
to prevent the roll Of flesh that so often
occurred lust above the low-cut glrdle.
Above the sheath is brassiere top of
ia.e which is cut so as to control the
fullness across the bust without giving
the fiat effect that has suddenly be-
come pasSe.
This weeks little home help consists
Of direction Tor making the new string
flower that has become so smart abroad
It is maze of fine gold braid and is just
the touch YOU need for a frock or cos
tune Of black There is also a sketch
with working directions for a corsage

trich f7ues. Please send me stamped,
self-addressed envelope, and viii send
you these little helps.

Answers.
/. Prudence, wisdom and soberness
are your qualities. You lead a quiet
life without intense joys or deep sor-
rows. You may not achieve brilliant
success. but at least you will have much
happiness.
3 You should be a scientist. You
like to work out difficult problems. You
are conscientious, indefatigable
worker. but YOU cannot stand contradic-
tion. You are apt to be successful in
your chosen career.
3. Being extremely sensitive, you
avoid company. You have real troubles
in your life. but you make them worse
because of your pessimism and your
tendency to become respondent.
f. In spite of your tendency to stingi-
ness and your love of saving, people and
events conspire against you. Destitute
relatives are always calling upon your
purse. This makes you unhappy.
5. What a useless person you arel
Instead Of accomplishing something
yourself, you waste your energy in criti-
cizing those who have attained success
You probably will never marry.
6. Your stubbornness and excessive
energy have outlet IN contradiction. You
oppose everything. no matter what 1t is
You are narrow in your views, suspi-
cious Of every one, and you dislike man.

Rhubarb to Clean Metal.

Brass that has become tarnished by
exposure TO dampness or by neglect can
easily be cleaned if first rubbed over
with rhubaTb juice. Take a stick Of
raw rhubarb, break It into short lengths
and rub the wet juicy end all over the
brass. Then clean in the usual way
and much hard work will be saved.
Badly stained aluminium saucepans can
be cleaned by cooking rhubarb in them
but never leave rhubarb standing in
aluminium pans, as it will eat into the
metal II left too long.
