HUDDLESTON the same way

“stays were the mainstay of all re-
spectable Vomen. By going about
it in the same way I mean—have
your girdle fitted as you would
have had an old-fashioned corset.
The fitter will take you into a
little dressing room and after tak-
ing your measure and getting the
general lines of your figure will slip
a girdle on you which Is usually com-
fortable. A little pulling up here or
down there and you feel all “put
together."
Before leaving the dressing room
go through a series of exercises. Try
crossing the legs one over the other
now bend forward as far as possible
twist and turn as you will and not
one bit of discomfort will you have
if the girdle is properly fitted. And
the comfortable feeling of security it
gives to the body will be equally
wonderful.
For the average figure the girdle
should come to the waistline and
well down over the hipe in the hack.
The stays in the front of the girdle
must be Just the right length or they
will push up when bending over.
Too long front stays are what cause
the girdle to Jab into the stomueh
when leaning over as the thighs
push them up. "When they are the
right length and properly fitted they
do not move when one bends over.

Sea Sisters By Fanny Darrell
——————_______ _______ _____________________________
rpHE Land Maiden and the Sea Maiden! Wonder what they'd
have to say to each other if they'd ever meet? And if they'd
be able to understand each other when they did? Why of course
they would for there was never a woman in the world but that
could make another woman know exactly what she wanted and
when and why and all about it—even if one spoke Chinese and
the other Greek.
For there’s a kinship between all women that goes by the name
of “intuition” and this is what guides them always. So the Sea
Maiden would tell the Land Maiden of her home and her lovers
and her corals and lovely sea-gardens and the Land Maiden
would tell her Sea sister all about her clothes and beaux and
parties and they'd have a grand time. But I’ll bet t#iat Love would
be their chief topic because it’s the '.hing that lies closest to the
heart of all women and the one subject on w'hich they all agree.

A V'aricty of Modern
Hampers.
HAMPERS are In usa In nearly
all homes hotels and In
many business and factory
buildings. There la nothing that
quite takes the hamper's place so
it has continued In uso with constant
improvements In shapes and ma-
terials. In early days the old cov-
ered willow basket was In vogue
deep square and large with a rather
heavy wooden bottom. Gradually
this model was lightened In weight
and made in round and oLlong
shapes. even in three-cornered
shapes.
Then came enameledware
hampers painted and perforated on
top arid at the sides with groups of
ventilating holes. Then came papier
muehe painted in attractive colors
and these had their degree of popu-
larity. though still the old willow-
basket held favor.
Today we have the enameled
wooden receptacles that are painted
In pastel colors and decorated with
flowers figures fish and fruits.
Then we have hampers of light
painted wood covered with gingham
covers that have been waterproofed
so that they may he washed off
when need be. The gingham Is
> chosen In plaids that match the
room decorations wherein thev are
to stand.
The enameled wood hampers are
very attractive affairs with a glass
handle on the cover and two finger
handles at the aides to handle the
hamper with when It ts full. They
are light and in oblong or rectangu-
lar shapes. These shapes fit Into
smaller niches than the large square
shapes occupy. Quite new are the
cane hampers with bamboo or
wooden trim.
For nursery use the hampers are
low and small so that the children
can use them without assistance for
stockings and small wear.
Don't Laugh at Mumps—a Serious Affliction
Bv ROYAL S. COPELAND M. D.
United States Senator from New York.
Former Commissioner of Health Sew York City.
I1TE get no sympathy if we have the mumps.
\\ This is one affliction which usually
* causes our friends to laugh. Of course
this is because the victim looks so funny.
While there is no particular time of year
when mumps are not prevalent yet the Spring
and Fall find this disease almost epidemic among
children. Just what causes mumps has not yet
been discovered but it is believed to be a dis-
ease of germ origin.
As a rule boys suffer with mumps more than
girls and only an occasional adult has it. It is
infectious or “catching” and on this account
spreads rapidly in a school.
The incubation period that is the period
between exposure and the first symptom is
from two to three weeks. Then there is a fever.
It may be slight or it may rise to 102 or 103
degrees.
The first symptom even before fever is noticed may be pain
below the ear. Then the swelling begins. It starts below the lobe of
the ear forcing the lobe outward. Soon the swelling progresses and
spreads to the tissues back of the ear and in front of the ear.
As the trouble progresses. it tr-<
volvee the glands along the Jaw andj
under the tongue. It theiV passes
to the other side ot the nnck.
This swelling and the soreness and
pain caused by it nijtke eating or
opening the mouth a very painful
process Accompanying the swell-
ing may be war ache and some dis-
turbance of hearing. The ear symp-
toms are not observed in every
oaf«.
Many children go through mumps
wlih no other discomfort t'oan that
of being the butt of the jokes of the
family and friends. They are the
lucky ones.
There are sometimes complica-
tions such as Inflammation of the
breast enlargement of the thyroid
gland and swellings of other glands.
These are uncommon and reed give
you no worry
The chief thing to do in mumps is'
to keep the affected child from other
members of the family. Be sure the
bowels move freely give liquid or
somi-Uquid diet and keep the patient
in bed during the period of the fever.

she went on to her husband's castle.
However when Giovanni rnet her

though her heart had already been

Francesca wise in the ways of love

Returning after many years. Paolo
confessed that It was he who had
killed Francesca's brother and for a
time she would hear nothing of his
love. However. Time the great
healer inevitably effected a cure

So they entered eternity as they

ages the tragic tale of their love is
told in song and story and given as

INDIVIDUAL THOUGHT
DISAPPEARS IN MOBS
Under the influence of the “Spell-Binder” Impulse
and Suggestion the Different Personalities of
the Crowd Seem to Merge Into One.
.. „
By DR. LOUIS E. BISCH
Eminent Paychologtat.
THE way In which an individual’s mind works when he is by him-
self is quite different from the way it works when that same
individual is in a crowd.
From the psychological viewpoint a crowd is much more than a
simple gathering of many persons.
In a crowd individuals of different nationali-
ties different sexes different ages and with
different ideas and sentiments change until thev
seem to become one single composite individual.
In a crowd a collective type of mind develops
automatically which makes those composing the
crowd think and act quite different from what
they would apart from the crowd.
Individual personality disappears in a crowd.
Each person becomes highly suggestible es-
pecially to some common impulse—patriotism for
instance.
It has been noted that a crowd is more sug-
gestible standing up than when sitting down.
Much of the rowdyism in the galleries of
English theatres was done away with when seats
were provided for all.
The orator and the proverbial political "spell
binder” deliberately makes use of crowd psychology.
To sway a crowd and make its suggestibility as contagious as
possible ideas that carry deep reasoning must not be employed.
Facts can best be imparted to a crowd by repeating them over and

Advice to Girls

Dear annie laurie:
I am deeply In love with a
boy two years m1* senior. We have
been going together over 10 months
and are now engaged to be mar-
ried although I am still In my
teens. In all the time I- have gone
with him. he has never aald or
dona anything out of the way to
me. but a certain girl has said
some very nasty things about me.
Sometimes 1 think I shall make
her prove her statement and other
times I think I should forgive and
forget and let time tell her. What
advice have you for me?
INNOCENT.
INNOCENT: There are always peo-
ple who cannot bear to eee
others happy and this Is evidently
what baa caused the malicious gossip
of the girl. Pay no attention to it
whatever my dear. As you say. for-
give and forget and go right ahead
with your wedding preparations. And
I'm wishing you all the luck and
happineas in the world.
Dear annte laurie:
I have been going with a girl
steady for three yeera W* are
not engaged. This girl insists on
going with other friends. She says
she does not care for them but
Itkes to go out with them for a
change.
Should 1 continue on going with
this girl?
Please ednse me what to do.

Speech must be simple.
One should appeal to ths emotions.
Apt. timely and • trick" phrases
are always telling.
A loud big voice. Impresses a
crowd.
Cartoons flags parades band
music—all these help to create the
proper atmosphere of suggestion.
However. Just as a crowd Is quick
to accept a suggestion. It is also
quick to lose it.
Crowd attention cannot be held for
long.
Physical discomfort such as hun-
ger. cold eudden rain will oft break
the hypnotic spell.
To hold a crowd's attention variety
Is Important.
Furthermore a stronger sugges-
tion—one appealing more to the emo-
tions—will continus tbs hypnotic In-

been averted by a sudden burst of

Harry Underwood and Dicky Plan a Luncheon Date for
the Shopping Party.
IT took all the courage 1 possessed
to present an unruffled front to
Harry Underwood s announce-
ment that Dtcky had had a sudden
summons to the city. But as it was
only the corollary of the luncheon
invitation he just had given Lillian
and me. I was enabled to give my
acceptance a cordial and care-free
air. Ignoring the more significant
news.
"What a perfectly charming ar-
rangement!" I exclaimed. "I ‘accept
with pleasure.* Don’t you Lillian?”
"Yes. If it doesn’t take too long.”
she said practically. "Remember
we've got a lot of shopping to do.
But I have a great Idea We'll time
our visit to the hotel near luncheon.
Then we either can eat in the dining
room—really they serve a very
good meal or there are three splen-
did restaurants within a block a
French an Italian and a famous old
one dating back a couple of genera-
tions.”
"Oh. yes. Darragh’s” her husband
chimed in. “Well. then we’ll meet
you at the hotel lounge—when?"
Lillian reflected a few seconds.
”W# get In at nine-thirty and
we'll go uptown first to select ene
or two things which no girl can be
happy without and which we can
best get at a certain Fifth Avenue
shop." she said. "That errand ac-
complished. we'U get as much more
done as possible before eleven-thirty.
It will take fifteen minutes to reach
the hotel fifteen minutes to give the
suite the once over fifteen more
minutes for Madge and me to primp
and drag it over the gridiron. That
brings us to twelve-fifteen. Suppose
you meet us then with the Intention
of lunching at twelve-thirty. As we’ll
take that earliest train in the morn-
ing. we shall need an early lunch
even though fortified by one of
Katie’s breakfasts."
"I doubt it." Dicky said speaking
for the first time since the discus-
sion of the hotel suite began. I sus-
pected that he had been waiting for
some subject absolutely unrelated to
his capitulating change of plan for
me. “I always feel like a stuffed
anaconda by the time she gets
through serving me before a
Journey.”
”1 never knew you to refuse a
second helping.” Harry Underwood

he spoke. Dicky followed him with
a celerity betraying hla anxiety lo
end the interview and as the door
closed after him. Lillian sat down
precipitately In the nearest chair and
laughed silently but heartily until
literal tears stood In her eyes. Her
husbands speech about Dicky's
summons to the city had effectually
robbed me of any inclination to
hilarity but her mirth was so in-
fectious that I soon found myself
laughing with her. though reluc-
tantly.
"If there's anything funnier than
a man” she gasped at last wiping
her eyes.
"There Isn’t—except a woman." I
countered glumly.
“Come out of the complex." she
commanded briskly. "You ought to
be a whole army with banners In
your own person. I never saw a
more complete right-about-face than
the Dicky-bird has accomplished
though I told you a little while ago
how agile he was at the little pastime
of saving face.' But Harry has
lived long enough among the Chinese
to be past master of that art. and I
could see hla fine Italian—or I sup-
pose one should say Mongolian—
band In the performance they Just
staged."
"You think" I eald. astonished
"that It was a planned stunt?"
“No thinking about it. I know."
Lillian answered with decision. "The
Dicky-bird badly needed an excuse
for climbing down from bis perch so
he appealed to Harry—they've al-
ways been an offensive and defensive
alliance you know and Harry staged

"So am I." I returned trying tc
equal her cheery heartiness of tone.
But I wondered If her heart held a

akin though for a different reason
to my uneasiness concerning Edith
