CORSETS ARE CORSES. SOMETHING CONCERNING HOW ANO WHEN THEY ORIGINATED. Ovid Put Them at the Head of Remedies Against Love Oils and Unguents In De veloping the Human Form Divine A Few Points Also About. Foot Gear. The small accessories of toilets, wheth er they be necessities or only pretty ad juncts, have made industries which have employed"1 many people in their manu facture, and have added largely to the growth of that passion for dress which has, in different centuries, broken out in both man and woman. Adoration for the human form has covered the feet, bedecked the hands with jeweled trifles, and incased the body feminine in Btifl whalebones until it has become of differ ent shape than nature intended. No art icle of apparel is so much discussed at this time as the corset; in truth, there is an absolute war over it. i ' TO MAKE THEM GRACEFUL. Still, this same corset , has held sway long and firmly. Even in the days when the Greek sculptors builded their ideal of beauty on the Venus de Milo writers in veighed against large waists, Avid put ting them at the head of remedies against iovfc. They were an undoubted out growth from the bandages worn by the greeks to restrain a tendency to corpu lency, and were as much used by men as by women, if we are to believe Aristo phanes. History also relates that Marc Antony had need to resort to such means ."to compress his swelling figure." The bands were three in number the stro phium, a bandage wound round the bust; a zona, or the waist belt, and the tenta, wound round and round below the waist. Nor were the bandages worn alone for compressing undue rotundity of form. They were made wider and longer and wrapped in large folds about slight fig ures to gi-ve them the grace of un dulating lines. Prom the latter use, more than the former, lias descended the repre hensible habit of lacing, the cause of the outcry against the stiff, whaleboned cor set of today. In the ancient days a very thin, slender figure attained to a much admired posi tion by being enfolded in a large and voluminous strophium and tenta, and using only one thickness of bandage as the zona, producing the first effect of an unnaturally small waist. When this did not prove effectual in disguising the lack of cushioning to their bones they resorted to oils and unguents for bathing the body; gooso fat mixed with warm milk and the egg of a partridge, the conglom eration being highly scented, was deemed the most productive of the desired em bonpoint. But great care was taken that not a drop should fall on the body near the waist; in fact, while going through the fattening process the zona was worn day and night. ; Since the days of incense burning in the temples, a record of which is found in the books of 51oses, have perfumes been used, and from the Egyptians, through the Jewish people, ha passed the art of making them, of burning aromatic3 and of carrying about richly wrought flacons of scent which have sometimes been made in the form of smelling bottles and again as perfume sprinklers. The fash ionable woman of today wears her an tique siler vinaigrette suspended from her chatelaine or carries her scent about in a costly flacon, rich with chasings or carvings, filigree work or enamel of fragile Venetian glass, or of metal thick ly studded with jewels, and none of a greater size than can be readily carried in the hand, winch fashion Queen Eliza beth instituted in carrying about her pomander. By the way, it was in her reign that perfumes and scents began to be manufactured generally by Euro peans, although as early as the Four teenth century the Venetians competed with the dwellers in the far east in the manufacture of sweet odors. Ingenuity today is not taxed furnish fresh designs for scen bottles, as the .gold and silversmiths have only to copy the relics of other days preserved in families and museums, the demand be ing only for antiques, and the supply is largely of imitations. Some beautiful patterns Are devised in the form of the most grotesque of goblins and dragons, wrought out in gold and precious stones. Others are chased with scrolls and sur mounted with coronets and coats of arms, suggesting German workmanship; j others are carved of wood or someone of i the semi-precious stones, as the onyx, the bloodstone, the carnelian and the like. These usually have a base or cup of gold or silver filigree work, and are usually of F rench manufacture, although the carvings may be brought from India, Switzerland and Italy; yet another is of silver inlaid with arabesques of gold, and is evidently Moorish. J Who would suppose that the common use of shoes and all kinds of foot cover ' ings was of a much later date than the carrying of scent, bottles? No one, I am 6ure; and yet the people pf certain Eu pean countries, long after they had learned to clothe their bodies in an elab orate and costly fashion, were in the habit pf "going barefooted." This was . the custom even so late as the Sixteenth century, and in the Fourteenth warriors equipped in full armor rode about with out any covering on 'either feet or legs below the knees. This would seem still ,Uiore strange than it does did one not recollect that even in this enlightened I day the Scots, who would scorn any sug gestion of barbarism, still cling to their national dress, which leaves knees wholly uncovered, despite the cold climate. The earliest records bear witness, however that Moses and Aaron were commanded to take the shoes from off their feet be fore entering the temple,, and in Egypt hi uiui tune me nen ana great WQTQ san aais lncruateu with precious stone, of which the soles were made of cold. On the bottom was engraved the names of ,ucn people as had been conquered bv the pwners, if they-happened to be of the conquering sex. Sandals with points I elongated and turned up were the ex clusive property of royalty.

Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup should always be used when children are cutting teeth. It relieves the little sufferer at once; it produces natural, quiet sleep by relieving the child from pain, and the little cherub awakes as "bright as a button." It is very pleasant to the taste. It soothes the child, softens the gums, allays all pain, relieves wind colic, regulates the bowels, and is the best known remedy for diar rhoea, whether arising from teething or other causes.

The report about Chief Justice Fuller's return to Chicago because there was nothing ''domestic" in Washington life, is reported to be pure rubbish. Mr. Ln. ' Why, Addle, you needn't cry abonl It!

" Well, she gets all of her informa tion from the Magazine they take. I admit that ahe knows all that is going on, and is bricht and entertaining in conversation . but I could do as well as she does if 1 had the' same source of information. She lent me the last number of her Magazine lately, and I learned more in one hour's reading, about various social matters and the topics of the day, than I would pick up in a month by my occasional chats with friends. It certainly covers every topic of interest, from the news of the day down to the details of housekeeping j and everything is so beautifully illustrated, too. Every time Mamie goes over to the Aliens' she comes back and teases me to get you to take jjemoresi s ranuiy Magazine, as me stones are so good. Even the boys watch for it every month, as a place is found for them also in its pages ; and Mr. Allen swears by it. It is really wonderful how it suits every member of the family ! " Mr. Lie. " Well, perhaps I had better send for a Specimen Copy ; for, if it is anything like what you say it is, it will amuse and instruct the whole f us." Mas Lek. "I see that W Jennings Demorest. the publisher, 15 East 14th Stre.-t. New York, is offering to send a Specimen Copy for 10 cents, so we can t lose anything, as each number contains a "Pattern Order' entitling the holder to any Pattern she may choose, and in any size which alone makes each copy worth 80 cents : and I just want a jacket pat' era like Mrs. Allen's. The subscription price 1b only $8 00 a year; and I must say I can't see how they can publish so elegant a Magazine for so little money."
