This fact together with that of there finding the choicest stock of groceries and everything needed for the tablets what makes the "White Front" so popular.

A. Hers, of the Opera House Baxaar, devoted ten years to the manufacture of corsets in Europe, sad has been constantly In that trade since coming to this country. On another page he has some "talk about corsets," to which we direct attention of the thousands of lady readers of The Mail. There is no doubt that great injury is often done by wearing ill shaped, poor fitting corsets. We ean't imagine how a woman can bear being laced up in one of these concerns anyhow but if they must wear them, care should bs exercised in the selection that they do not do injury.
