Years ago when corsets were built higli enough to support the bust, the addition of what was known as a corset coyer was more or Less a matter of choice. These two garments combined, however, river did what the Brassiere does so well, moulding the upper part of the figure to fine'lines. And now that corsets are topless the wear,i tig of a second garment is no longer a matter of choice but of sheer necessity, ISo other garment supports controls -or cares for the bust in any way at all. ’That the bust should remain entirely unprotected is unthinkable. Iho choice of Brassiere, now so deservedly popular is no longer restricted to a, heavily built plain garment. Much attention lias been bestowed on detail and dainty Brassieres, riiav be had m strong Batiste, finest MndaPokani, pretty Broclie and silk in. white a 2 c fl cs I P^ Strong Cluny laoe adds effectiveness to many models and every typo of figure is catered for.

PROVERBS ABOUT WOMEN. “I'm fed up with proverbs about women/’ declared Priscilla fiercely; “thoroughly fed up.” “Take any language you like,” she went- on; “in every one of them you’ll find some, proverb or oilier jeering at women; some piece of biting malice at their expense, words that squirt concentrated venom into the eyes of every Avoman Avho reads them. I “Proverbs are said to be crystallised common sense. 1 say that most proverbs about women are clotted nonsense —when they are not acidulated spite. “.Proverbs about AVomen,” continued Priscilla, becoming coldly sarcastic, “ought to he labelled just like poisons. Then one Avould know what to avoid/' “But Avhab about this one?” urged

Peter. “‘A woman’s lips have cured many ills.’ ’’

“ d)ld sheep shouldn’t dress lambfashion,’ ” retorted Priseilla coldly.

“Well, how about ‘.Slander expires at a good woman’s door’?'’’ said Peter. ‘liven a she-ass is pretty when she is young.’ ” riposted Priscilla. Peter thought a minute and then said softly: “There’s' a .Serbian proverb which says, ‘lt is a lesser evil to burn down a church than ro speak evil of a girl.’ ” '-There’s a French one which says, ‘There- are lew honest women who are not tired of their trade,’ ” rejoined Priscilla, bitterly.

“Don’t forget the French saying, ‘That which woman desires God desires,’ ” urged Peter. “I can remember,” said Priseilla, “the French proverb which says, ‘A woman is a very perfect devil.’ ” “But,” pleaded Peter, “think of the Irish proverb. ‘Live in my heart and pay no rent.’ ” Priscilla- countered with the English, “ ‘Every couple is not a pair..' ” “ ‘There is no home without a wife,’ ” quoted Peter from the Serbian. “ ‘Trust a, woman so long as tliy mother’s eyes are upon her,’ ” was Priscilla’s Japanese rejoinder. Peter then ventured the Indian, “ ‘He -who goes to the hills goes to liis inotlicr.’ ” - . - From the Spanish Priscilla followed with, “ ‘Woman is like- your shadow — follow her, she flies; fly from her, she follows.’ ” Finally Peter tried the. Russian, “ ‘A wife is riot a. guitiv, which, bavins- done plaving with, you hang on the wall.’ ” This Priseilla capped from the same language with: “ ‘Select your wife with your ears rather than with your eyes. V’ Then. Peter, remembering th e Talmud : n ‘lf yom- wife is small, stoop down and whisper in her ear,’ ” followed the advice of tlie proverb and got the last word with: “ ‘Th,g heart that loves is always young.’ ” —F.M., in the “Daily Mail.”

A PROBLEM OF- MEN’S WEAR. It is currently reported that during the next season the -well-dressed- man will -wear a more complicated assortment of clothing. Thus a return to a simple and more purely democratic scheme of things is shadowed forth in. the fashion announcements. Long, cuffless trousers, baggy-fitting, will also he welcome, and perhaps wa may finally arrive at the old-time rural practice of harnessing a- loose pair .of breeches with, one plain old-fashioned “gallus” made out of bed ticking. Tin’s gives a. sort of sea-dog effect, one leg sagging at the anklo and the other stretched up like a half-lioisted mainsail. Now, if men are going so far in the pursuit of simplicity they should not forget tlie old bulldog watch that winds with a key, the lodge pin about the size of a butter ladle, heavy "watch chains, gold toothpicks, burnside whiskers, hair annointed •with bear’s grease, gaiters, detachable cuffs with agate cuff buttons, bone collar buttons, high top-boots, shirts open ab the back with screw studs in front, boiled for Sunday wear. The Derby hat will come into its own, also red “flannons,” gay-coloured, socks, knitted wristlets, rubber cigar holders, vest pocket combs, bandanna handkerchiefs, together with the weekly shave and the semi-annual haircut. Gents should also wear long, trailing mustachios, and the breakfast table should be set with cups to prevent them serving as lawn sprinklers. We aro just wondering whether the age of simplicity lias been and' gone or is just coming to be. The art of dress is of itself a refining influence, and, vice versa, it is responsive to- other refining influences. Then there is to-day an increasingly large, number of individuals who are not led into bad taste by the malign influences of so-called fashion, but they make, their own fashions according to their own tastes. ' And this, is truly the only, salvation of our badge of respectabilityour clothes! If we ar e to be at the beck and call of the ready-to-wear manufacturer a reversion to barbarism is imminent. The few lead, the many follow. A few iwell-dressed men axe the saving remnant who will preserve correct stvles. It is np to these leaders to introduce the same sensible ideas with respect to summer clothing as have for many years prevailed on tlie Continent of Europe.—H. S.
