Let Us Show You These
Incomparable Corsets.
The IUustra
tion glvos one
a fair idea of
tho lines of the
Gossurd Cor
sets but you
can never re
alizo how In
finitely super
ior they aro
and how per
fectly comfort
able until you
have ono on.
Notice the
long hip which
takes care of
flesh at ton of
thigh and gives
tho wearer tho
long, litho, slender, supple lines which you must have if you wear tho
Moyenngo, Morovininn or other now stylos of gowns.
This is model "A" made of spociuf batisto of great textilo strength,
yot light In weight. Trimmed with applique embroidery in n beautiful
design; stitched with silk of courso; strong hose supporters; best quality
of lacers, binding and stripping; boned with "Electrobono" which In ad
dition to being absolutely rust-proof, is tho best and highest quality of
high-carbon clock-spring steel, carrying n fine temper. This is the best
steel used In corsotB nnd tho only quality which is considered adcuuato
for moulding tho figure to tho beautiful lines of tho Gossard Corset.
Model "A" cornea In 12 mid 13-lnch front steels. Sizes IS to 34,
prlco $0.50.
Tho ono fact that Gossnrd Corsots laco In front, that they support
the abdomen instead of depressing It, rosnlting in bonotit instead of in
jury, should induce every cavoful woman to instantly discard hor back
laced corsot and adopt tho Gossard.
When it Is shown that theso corsets not only Improvo tho health;
aro not only comfortablo but create boautiful lines and give tho wearer
a bettor figure than she could possibly attain in any other coreet.t is
remarkable that any woman who can afford tho price of a good corsot
should wear any other mako.

One woman suddenly descended ou her
husband with tho thrilling 'Inquiry:
"Where's that utnbrcll' of mluo?"
"1 dunno," growled tho husband.
"Well, you had it lust."
"Didn't neither."
"You did, too, aud you've cot to git
busy fludlu' It. I bet it's up forrerd
tuero where we was n-settlu' beforo
wo como back hyer."
Moro growls from tho husband, who
was sleepy.
"You got t' help mo hunt It, any
way."
Sho took him and went forward,
peorlug under tho seats. AH up aud
down tho alslo they weut, searching
vainly. Tho iuoro uncomfortable the
stopping miitle her the mnddeV and
worse excited the womnu got and the
worse her husband growled.
Finally sbo began poking under tho
scats to seo If sho could touch tho
umbrella lu somo recess beyond her
vision.
A girl with n bluo feather In her
hat who had becu timidly watching
tho performance and showing n blush
ing tendency to Interrupt could con
tain herself no longer.
"What's that you'ro poking under
the seats with? Isn't that tho lost
umbrella?" sho asked.
Tho woman straightened up, gave
ono look at tho tightly grasped Instru
ment and snapped out, "Yes, It Is!"
Sho said it just as If it hud all been
tho fault of tho girl with tho bluo
feather In her hat Chicago News.
