The designer of MODART Cor sets is considered foremost in the world of corsetry.' No other corset can claim his skill. Every design originated by this style creditor must meet his approval as an anatomist also. The result is a corset that gives you the satisfaction of the smartest style and the assur ance of health and comfort. The MODART jrives lines that are chic, distinctive, graceful, yet al lowing free and easy respira tion. It can be adjusted to the most minute requirements of individ ual figure lines. It affords a gentle, uplifting support nt all times. Health, comfort and fashion urge a MODART fitting. Pauline Lederle Sommer Hotel Bldg. -tV "-V, 41 i Fortunes In Farthings. It ts well known that shopkeeper make pounds by Ignoring fundings or by giving something for them that Is worth far less than a furtulng, but where shopkeepers nuika tho pounds banks and ihn Kngllsh govornmeut make their hundreds of pounds. If a farthing Is duo from you in taxes yon are charged onoprnce. On the other hand, you are never paid oncjieiice for a farthing. The same principle Ik applied to frac tions of pounds. Hanks In reckoning Interest for themselves call any part of XI a full pound, whereas In reckon' ing Interest for you odd shillings are left out of account. Thus for n de posit of 09 tls. lid. you wou'rt receive Interest on fOO only. . It Is ninujiliig how the slate profits by not paying fractions of pence. The government has a .special fund In which are placed the fractions of pence withheld In paving dividends on government stock. This fund amount ed to more than flfiO.OOO In ten years before being used for other purposes. As far as the government Is concern ed, farthings mean a lot. Loudon An swers. Hit Little Lot. There weto some Interesting episodes In tho life of Sir Charles Kuan-Smith. Once In the market place of an Af ghanistan town he was tired at by native. ITo lodged a compl with the ameer, who appeared to take no notice of the incident, -merely remark ing, "That's all right." Sir Charles complained again and met wltn tha same reply. Ho still thought that the ameer "was treating a serious matter with less consideration than It deserv ed, but thought, it advisable to say no more on tho subject. About a week afterward he was Invited by tho ameer to ride with him. They rode for some distance outside the town, and they passed gibbet after gibbet. At length Sir Charles said, "Your highness has been busy of late." "Oh. no." replied the ameer; ".(hey are your, little lot." He had seized all the members of the would be assassin's family and hanged every one of them, Be Natural. Iluluies says that there are six peo ple present whenever two meet In con versation the real A, the real K, A ns he sees himself, B ns be sees himself, A as R sees him and B as A sees him. The remark comes back when oiu goes out upon the street and considers himself and tho other people who pass, particularly those who seem on the slippery mad to success. It is not they themselves who go by; It Is what they would have other people think them. If they are young and inexperienced they must tighten 111 their faces with an artificial solemnity; If they are get ting on in years they must affect an arlllicial suapplness. They wear their outward aspects like clothes. One feels like crying In (he ears of young men: "Bo natural. Live or die, sink or swim, survive or perish, but be yourselves." New York Globe. Tho Pri.tnroae. The primrose has sulTercd injustice from the pools, who seem to regard it as a Moral weakling. Shakespeare wrote of "pale primroses" that die "era they can behold bold Phoebus in bis streugth;" Spencer regrets "so fair a flower" should perish through "untime ly tempest;" Milton laments the "rathe primrose that forsaken, dies," and many later poets huvo written of It In similar strain. Why' For the prim rose Is a hardy plant and will be found where1 few other flowers can exist, on the mountain heights of Europe and Asia and even on the highest ranges of the Himalayas. And Disraeli recog nized its color in the fried eggs upon his breakfast table. London Notes and Queries. He' Waa Right.
