T.-r .i..--..-.:..-?iL:- .i - G A rennrm A Corsetiere of Wide Experience and Highest Skill Is Here From the Factory to Tell Portland Women the Merits of the Best Corset Made Gossards Enhance the Beauty of Any Figure Come See Them One of the guiding rules of the "New School" of corset designing, by -whom the Gossard is designed and made, is that beauty is inherent and needs but to be revealed. Many women appear to poor advantage wear their gowns badly and fail to look as well as they might because of an incor rect and poorly fitted corset. The Gossard corrects many of the mistakes so common in other corsets, and in the right model of a Gossard, you know the truest union of comfort and smart style. Long., slender, natural lines, correct poise, Electro bone filling these are some of the features peculiar only to the Gossard. Come and see them. You'll be convinced. You are cordially invited to come and meet Mrs. Miller, who is here from Chicago to give you the benefit of her long experi ence in corsetry and to give you the best fitting in high-grade corsets you ever had. The new Spring models in Gossard corsets are here too, and you can depend upon it, when you've been properly fitted with a Gossard Front-Lacing Corset you will have the right figure for this season's styles in gowns. Improves Health and Figure Too The Gossard Front-Lacing Corset is the most scientifically constructed of any corset on the market. One only has to look at a Gossard wearer to note tho graceful, easy car riage, the healthful poise with chest out and shoulders back, to know that they are full of health and vigor. The Corset Helps The Gossard supports the abdomen, throws the spinal column into the correct curve and there is no nippinsr in the back, causing discomfort and nervousness. Anatomy has been carefully studied in the making of this corset and the front-lacing model is acknowledged by eminent physicians as the best made from a surgical and hygienic standpoint.

M. Goldson Witnessed Last Visit of Great Luminary in His Early Childhood. LEADING WOJUV I V THE RAI IM; cpHEDT, "WILDFIRE," ' LII, LUN RISSELL'S LATE SUCCESS. EUGENE, Or., Feb. 12. SpeciaL) If he lives until next May, J. M. Goldson, of Eugene, a Confederate war veteran and one of the early settlers In this vicinity, will have seen Halley's comet twice. Few men can boast the honor of having witnessed for the sec ond time the coming of this strange visitor, whose entrance is made but once in three-quarters of a eentury. Mr. Goldson was 3 years old when the comet made its previous appear ance in 1836. His parents a short time before had taken up' land in the Choc taw and Chickasaw Indian tracts, then thrown open for white settlement by Congress, near where Winona and Gra nada, Miss now stand. Popular knowl edge of astronomy was limited In those days, when books were scarce and the coming of a newspaper the event of months, and the Indians and many of the simple frontier folk regarded the weird visitor in the sky with supersti tious fright. "I was too young to understand much about it then," said Mr. Goldson, "but I can remember something of the ex citement the comet caused, and how my father took me by the hand and pointed It out to me, trying to explain it In words a child could understand. I can also remember the picture the comet made with its great flaming tail, spread out like a burning fan in the heavens, and giving light equal almost to that of the moon. The Indians de clared that the comet was a bad omen and sign of poor crops and famine. "I also saw the comets of 184S and 1S5S, the last of which was the largest and most Impressive of them all. Both caused much superstition and fear among the people. It was said that they would be followed by war and, curiously enough, the Mexican War came two years after the comet of '43 and the Civil War In '61. There were also many predictions in each case that the comet would crash Into the earth and cause the end of the world. Defi nite dates were even set for the big smashup, and many persons went in sane from fright as a result. In 1858 I remember seeing six men 'who had gone crazy from brooding over this prophesied end of the world being tak en to asylums. "They said that the comets caused rartny and unsettled weather and" in fluenced atmospheric conditions. I can not say whether this was really the cause, but In both '43 and "58 there was much rain and severe weather, and these same conditions prevailed for two or three years before and after the visits of both comets. In "43 the rains were so severe in the South that I re member In a walk of several miles to school I had to swim every day a swol len creek between the place where I was boarding and the schoolhouse, and this lasted all through the Winter, too. "The coming appearance of Halley's comet in May will mark the first time on historical record that the earth has ever passed through a comet's tail. At the same time the earth will be under planetary Influences and attractions different from any known to have ex isted before. Just what the result will be even the most learned astronomers cannot say exactly. It Is Just as well for the astronomers not to tell all they know of the possible-phenomena, be cause. Just as in 1843 and 1858, there are many persons who would lose their minds brooding over predictions that the world Is coming to an end." Mr. Goldson was 78 years old last Wednesday. He Is in excellent health, and lully expects to witness the comet's second coming. Mr. Goldson fought through the Civil War In the Third Mississippi Regiment. With his wife he came to Oregon S4 years ago, reach- It is a fact beyond dispute that beauty, who is to appear in the rac Theater this week, has had her pic than any other actress.
