to look their best at all times.
'"Vfliness stimulates admiration. Looking well is largely a
na't i , t d he iHh—and clothes.
"The woman v ho cares" should select clothes that will be beneficial
to her health ns well as pretty to look at—for beauty is the result of keep-
ing well
Without a good corset, style and health are almost impossible. The
woman who thinks that any corset will do usually looks the part.
Design is the principal feature of a corset. Only one corset, the
MODART front laced, can claim the skill of Jennings in design and
Jennings is generally accounted the world's foremost corset designer. His
■kill enables him to combine style, comfort and poise in a garment so it
fits perfectly, is comfortable from the moment it is put on and retains
its figure lines until worn out.
The MODART Corset is made in a variety of styles, for different
types of figures. Every general type of figure, short, tall, stout, those
with small bust anil large hins. those with small '.lips and large bust, are
all taken care of in one model or another.
There is only one way to truly appreciate the style, comfort and poise
of a MODART Corset and that is to have a trial fitting. We desire to
give you a trial fitting in our department of the MODART model best
adapted to your figure. The excellence of cur service in combination with
the MODAUT front laced eor«et will give you new corset comfort and
probably better health besides. The hardest test given any corset is in
the fitting-room. In the actual trying on of a corset a woman can feel its
comfort or discomfort and can see the beauty of its lines. This is the
test we suggest.
Wo know in our Corset Department what the MODART Front Lneed
Corset will do for you and we want you to know it too. There is no
obligation on your part tt> buy. We must satisfy you that we can corset
you better with the MODART than you are now corseted or you will not
want to buy.

GWENDOLYN HUNT
STARS IN THE
BEAUTY PARADE
Gwendolyn Hunt, beautiful sou
brette playing in the Beauty Parad<
at the Strand theater, has won the
hearts of the theater-goers by her
clever acting and winning person-
ality. Seldom is one of her talent
found in the class of shows that are
generally put on in a town of this
size, which fact speaks well for the
whole company as well as for the
management in securing this com
pany.
For pure comedy the. company
playing at the Strand is not to be sur-
passed and ordinarily one would have
to pay two dollars to see the class of
performances that are being shown
here.
Another feature of the company is
that A1 Philips writes and directs his
own productions, fitting them to the
personnel of those who are to take
part in the performance.
The program tonight is one that ap-
peals to eevryone and is one of the
finest presentations of clear wit and
humor that has ever been placed on
the stage. The entire company is an
all star cast and for this reason are
able to give only the best in the
theatrical line.
If the parties who stole $11.00
worth of chickens from the Page
rooms on the corner of Pennsylvania
and Fulkerson, do not return same or

the full extent of the law, as these
parties are well known to the own-
ers of the chickens.

TOBY WINS HEARTS
OF THRONG AT
PASTIME THEATRE
Crowds still throng to the Pastime
theater, larger and larger each even-
ing, to witness the dramas that are
being played by the Wilbuck Come
dians, featuring Frederick Wilson as
"Toby." The personality and draw-
ing power of this star is most remark-
able and his hearers are drawn closer
to him by each performance.
The play tonight is one of the very
best in their respective repertoire
and accompanied by an all star cast
"Toby" is at his best. The scenery
used with the play is very beautiful
and so well known is the story that a
ynopsis is not necesrary. The story
portrayed is one that never grows old,
a story of love, another man and an
other woman, and a life of happiness
ever afterwards.
Six reels of pictures will be run
just before the play begins.
