Hip! Hip! Hooray!" That's
the battle cry of some Of the
corset makers this fall.
They say hips are coming out
into the open, frankly and with
all their curves glorified.
Not all fashion authorities
agree, but we all have to admit
that for several seasons, natural
lines have been allowed.
BoSoms have been lifted up
into their natural place, and
are no longer flattened into
uhealthy and unSightly imita-
tions of a boyish form. We've
indMged in athletics for sew
eral years now, and the results
will not be kept down.
Mae West Influence
The Mae West influence has
had something to do with it,
too. Mae, who is called Lady
Lou" in Paris, has taken that
town by storm, and even the
best designers are allowing hips
and busts in their clothes.
They put the waistline up
where it shows the rounded
curves of the bust, and because
the waist is high and snug, the
hips look rounded and curved,
too, no matter how much you
slim them down, and try to
straighten them out.
So prepare to show your fig
ure in it's natural lines this fall.
A Lifted Look
And speaking of fall, and your
new clothes, don't forget that
you'll need a new and differently
shaped foundation garment to
wear them over. If you are not
used to the uplift bandeaux that
are right for the new line, you
may feel strange in them at
first, but you'll soon get used to
them. And then you will feel
the need of curves to match, in
hips and waistline, too.
The new garments mould
your figure right, hold it in
shape, but are by no means un-
comfortable or too confining.
The softest elastic, firm fabrics,
and only boning when neces-
sary, are still the rules of good
corsetry.
For Medium Figure

that are new for fall, and show

When Manners
Are Correct
BY MRS. CORNELIUS
BEECKMAN
Birth Announcements

Birth Announcements
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
Are birth announcement
cards in good taste, or would it
be better to inform those in
other cities by letter? F.
The sending of birth an
nouncements is in good taste
and correct, although it is not
very much done nowadays. The
thing to watch is that the cards
themselves are in good taste. SO
many stunt-cards - cards that
are supposed to be "cute" or
cunning" and that certainly
lack dignity-are on the mar
ket, and one must use sure
taste not to send any Of these.
The only form of birth an
nouncement that is in correct
taste is the one that consists of
the engraved Mr.. and Mrs. card
of generous size, and attached
to it with a tiny white ribbon,
the baby card. On the large
sized card, in the center. is en-
graved:
Mr.. and Mrs. Arthur Wells
Smith.
On the tiny card attached is
engraved the baby's name, and,
in the lower left corner, the
date of birth. Nothing else ap-
pears on this card.
The ribbon should always be
white. Often now, that the
young lady or the young gentle
man may get a formal start in
life, the title Miss" or Mas
ter" is engraved before the
name.-Master Edward Wells
Smith. September 10, 1898.

Winter Of Love
Love may be fair in spring,
when all
The buds come to the trees,
When all the mating swallows
call
In sudden ecstasieS.
And love in summer may be
sweet
When life's swift tides are
high;
And when rich harvests are
complete
Beneath the autumn sky.
But lovers never know the
taste
OF loves most potent wine
Until the world, a wintry

Lies drear about their shrine.
For closer hearts and hands

Valuable Foods Given

California grapes are of European
origin, but the concord and catawba
grapes are developments of the wild
fox grape found in the New world
by early Colonial settlers. Another
essentially American fruit is the pine
apple, which is popularity associated
with the Hawaiian islands but orig.
mated in northern South America,
notably Brazil.
These and many other fruits and
vegetables first contributed to the
worlds menu by America are now
successfully grown in many parts of
the world and their American origin

We take pleasure in answering at once and

cation that its faithful author is numbered
among the friends of the Sun:

Santa CLAUSE"
VIRGINIA O'HANLON.
Virginia, your little friends are wrong
They have been affected by the skepticism of
a skeptical age. They think that nothing can
be which is not comprehensive by their little
minds. All minds, Virginia, whether they be
mems or little childrens, are little. In this
great universe of ours man is mere insect,
an ant, in his intellect, as compared with the
boundless world about him, as measured by
the intelligence capable of grasping the whole
of truth and knowledge
Yes, Virginia, there is Santa Claus. He
exists as certainly as love and generosity and
devotion exist, and you know that they
abound and give to your life its highest beauty
and joy. Alas! how dreary would be the world
if there were no Santa Claus. 1t would be as
drear as if there were no Virginias. There
>
no romance to make tolerable this existence.
We should have no enjoyment, except in sense
and sight. The eternal light with which child
hood fills the world would be extinguished.
Not believe in Santa Claus? You might as
well not believe in fairies! You might get
your papa to hire men to watch in all the
chimneys on Christmas Eve to catch Santa
Claus, but even if they did not see Santa
Claus coming down. what would that prove?
Nobody sees Santa Claus, but that is no sign
that there is no Santa Claus. The most real
things in the world are those that neither
children nor men can see. Did you ever
fairies dancing on the lawn? Of course not,
but that's TO proof that they are not there.
Nobody can conceive or imagine all the won
ders there are unseen and unseeable in the
world.
You may tear apart the babys rattle and
see what makes the noise inside but there is
a veil covering the unseen world which not
the strongest man, nor even the united
strength of all the strongest men that ever
lived, could tear apart. Only faith, fancy, po-
etry, love, romance, can push aside that cur
tain and view and picture the supernal beauty
and glory beyond Is it all real? All, Virginia,
in all this world there is nothing else real and
abiding.

in Selecting Breeders

Do not select breeders on the ba-
sis of each individuals record, ad-
vises practical breeder, discuss
ing short cut through the maze
of Poultry Genetics" in the Rural
Newly Yorker. Instead use the fam
lily of full sisters.
The family is the important unit
rather than the individual. The
great temptation Is to get excited
over the daughter Of 300-egg hen,
but we do not even bother to trap
them unless they have at least five
full sisters.
In selecting cockerels to head
pedigree pens the first choice is the
male used the previous year, whose
daughters are consistently good re-
gardless of the variation in females
with which he was mated. Such is
tested sire and is the best bet.
Second choice Is the cockerel whose
sisters are all meeting standard re
quirements third is a male whose
dam sisters and whose sire's sisters
are all consistently good. Last on
the preferred list is the male who
is selected simply on the basis of
his dams record.
While the family system of Sc
lection of breeders seems simple, it
becomes extremely complicated with
