The adver- 'tisement exploiting. this new concern, states: "We copy, clean, repair or alter corsets of any make, Moderate prices. Mall your corset for estim- ate." : As may be judged from the foregoing, a large part of the business of the "Corset Hos- pital" js done by mail. An ex- pert corsettiere is employed to pass upon al] corsets which are sent in for duplication, re- pairs, cleaning, etc. His sever- al assistants carry out direc- tions for such alterations as may be necessary, or, in case a new corset is required, an order is placed with the man- ufacturer. Many women who have found a corset which "Just fits" them have the ex- perience of going to the shop for a duplicate and being told, "'we are not carrying that mo- del now. We can give you the lower model, number so-and- 50," etc. The newer model does not, of course, answer re- quirements, and if the earlier one has to be ordered from the manufacturer, there are usually delays and ten chan- ces to one when it arrives it is the wrong size or is made on slightly - different lines from the / original. Then, too, it a good price is paid for the corset, it is an- noying to find that there is no provision for such alterations or, later on, such slight re- pairs as may be necessary.

For this purpose "at- ' tractive fitting rooms have been arranged for the accom- modation of customers. A careful study is made of the requirements of the new pa- tron, 'measurements taken, and, if necessary, a corset made to order. A record 1s then made of the customer's name and address, together with all necessary data for du- plicating the corset, As a con- venience to the patron this service can hardly be over-es- timated.

Sunday's horoscope puts the em- phasis on the spiritual activities, since the -very high vibratiops of the mys- tical planet, Neptune, rule the day. It is a propitious time for all psychi- cal research and study, with occult experiences. Those whose birthday it is may have an interesting year in higher lines, but they should be careful not child born on this day may be pe- culiarly gifted with mediumistic or occult powers. Monday's astrological map forecasts some sudden change, which may prove to be radical and far reaching in its final results. Although the visi- tation may be abrupt and wholly un- Vplanned and unforeseem, it bids fair to be ultimately satisfactory and suc- cessful. On the whole, it is a pros perous outlook, but quarrels and liti- gation should be avoided. Those whose birthday it is may have an important and unexpected change, which may be expected to result in great advantage. Litigation and quarrels should be avoided. A child born on this day may be fond of change, and perhaps headstrong and stubborn.

Speak- ing of the work 'of the Salvation Army at the front, she said they had- n't as many centres as' some other organizations, but on the whole the result was satisfactory, a statement that every returned man will bear her out in.

In an inspiring address in Toronto, Rev. Peter Bryce, who brought a re- port of the Internationa] Child Wel- fare Conferences held last July in London, Eng. and Brussels, Bel- glum, said: "The lowest infant mor- tality in the world is in New Zea- land, 'where it is 40.6 per thousand. England reports 80 in every thous and in 1921; Ontario 103.59; Que- bec 142.48. The improvement in England is due to the Increase of child welfare clinics and the care taken to give the little ones pure milk. If the truth 'were known," said Mr. Bryce quoting Dr. Hastings, "* '15,000 of the 30,000 children who die in Canada annually might justly have tho epitaph placed on their graves, 'Poisoned by impure milk.'
