FRONT LACED T* H E front laced models M- a the culmination of are the latest and best ideas in corset fashion. They re model the figure, giviug it a perfectly moulded back, giving it lines of grace and symmetry and the long, ta pering curves which are so . artistically beautiful. They reduce the full figure, giving it the flattened front and slender hip effects. They are absolutely hygienic and have the endorsement of the leadiug physicians aud dressmakers. We call special at tention to the model illustrated which is made in two lengths, high bust, for the tall figure, aud medium bust, for the shorter waisted stout figure. This model is extremely long over the back aud hips- The extra lacing iu the back from the waist-line down permits an absolutely perfect adjustment over the back and assists further iu keeping the hips iu perfect subjection, thus giving the so-called hipless figure. W e carry the front laced corsets iu a varied line of materials at prices ranging from $2.SO to $12. We cordially invite the ladies of our city and vicinity to visit our corset depart ment and inspect these most exquisite models. Consultation and fitting free. Rees-Wallace Co.

A very humorous comedy (Yai^iq “ A Family A ffa ir" was givin at Creswell last Friday evening by local talent for the benefit of the Creswell baud. The characters were all very ably sustained and the play was well attended, every body being more than pleased with the presentation. Among those in in the cast receiving special men tion were Win McDaniel, as the Swede, and A. Howe, in the role of the deacon, while they were ably sustained by the rest of the Com pany. An effort is being put forth to induce the Creswell young peo ple to present their drama in the Armory theater at this place, in which event they are certainly as sured a good crowd, owing to the splendid satisfaction they gave at Creswell. If they decide to come to Cottage Grove they will be ac companied by the Creswell band. C. C.
