Perhaps there is no item in a Ladies wardrobe more important-than the Corset on its
correctness of model depends the fit of the Suit or Dress;
A bad Corset spoils the whole effect, besides its discomfort to the wearer.

"The Lure of
the pacific"
Mr. Abtams, of Seattle,
Says lhat Helped to
Make the Exposition a
Remat kable Success
Alaska's Gold,
Probably the best advertised west
era' city in the country to-day is Seat
tle, and the best . advertised Southern
city, Charlotte
Since this town has put on its sev
en league . boots, many men of posi
tion and prominence are attracted to
it from all over the country some
transiently, some permanently. With
in this city to-day is Mr.' A. C. Abranis,
of Seattle, a traveled gentleman of
culture, and one who is the owner of
his own time. .
"I am simply traveling through here
to see your city and vicinity;" he said.
"I passed this way 20 years ago, and
the changes I note, are remarkable
and everywhere. If you haven't done
all you should have done, you have cer
tainly done large things in the. way of
progress. You have a charming city
here. It reminds me of a western
town."
"Lots of our folks went out to see
your exposition and came back talk
ing about your great new city, your
excellent exposition, the way you are
hydraulically. leveling your city s hills
and washing them into the bay, .and
all the like of that," Mr. Abranis was
told.
"Yes," he answered, with one of
those satisfaction smiles which belong
to a man who brags on his burg, "our
exposition is paying dividends.
"We got the crowds. Jamestown's
lowest day's attendance was 1500'.
Seattle's lowest attendance for any
day was 23,000. The maximum day's
attendance was 85,000. Taft was there
one day. So the men who put up as
a bonus the money to insure the sue-.
cess of the exposition will get a great
deal of it back. That is what we call
our dividends.
"Remember, too, that while Uncle
Sam gave Jamestown a million or
more, he save us nothing, not even
a new red copper with. Lincoln's head
on it. The bonds floated in the inter
est of the exposition have been paid
off already."
"To what do you attribute, the great
crowds?". '
"The lure - of the Pacific coast.
There is a general, country-wide inter
est in the northwest. Then, of course,
also, Alaska and its gold. The surface
of Alaska has hardly been ssratched
yet. The Morgan interests and ? the
Guggenheimers are bunding a railroad
out there which runs 200 miles from
Cordova, near the coast into the in
terior. This will open a ncn -territory.
.
"An engineer who represents the
Rothschilds in Alaska told rne that
there is enough geld ore there to take
out quartz averaging freni $50 to $200
to the ton, and to require the continu;
oua handling of solid trainloads of it
during the next v 50 years.
"There is a big smelter near Seat
tle which makes our city of vast im
portance to Alaska. .
"Then -there is fir and other fine
timber in the Cascades near us. We
have an enormous fishing industry.
We are shipping ocean fish to Boston.
The finest flavored apples grow about
us. Land the government-was selling
for $200 an acre a while back is now
bringing $2,500 an acre in the apple
country. The apples are sold on the
trees" and bring from 10 to 20 per cent.
Washington state produced 40,000,000
bushels of wheat last year."

For the Battle of Charlotte Monurhent
Fund.
Charlotte's gifted and versatile
young playwright, Miss Bessie Burk
heimer, will shortly form the Sothern
Mallowe Dramatic Club. She is now
at work arranging a modern drama
of three acts, based upon a summer's
outing among a colony of girls, at
which time the United States Coast
Survey Steamer Vortex has anchored
at the resort. The result and" ro
mance can best be imagined between
a handsome lot of navy officers and a
colony of jolly summer girls.
There will be a ball room scene, a
yatching scene, and a Christmas eve
scene, with handsome stage effects,
costumes and several new and beauti
ful vocal numbers. Twelve persons
will be the personal of the club, which
are among the most versatile young
people of the city. .' ' x
This will be one of a series of plays
that will be given during the coming
season. This one to be for the fund
to aid in the erecting of a monument
to mark the Battle of Charlotte, which
we viidiivLLt; uapici, u. x.. tight an

There is no marker to this memorable
battle, by which Charlotte received its
name, Hornet's Nest. '
