At least, one mem- ber of the Protestant Protective Associa- tion (that bitter enemy of the Church of Rome) has aided this Administration in securing the second reading of the bill. Reaeons that seem inadequate have been •ealeged for the votes of these legislators. We have beard French Liberals tell as that they opposed the bill because it is too -sweeping in its nature.

The stooning sus - pander is, according to the doctors, the thing which meats their needs. It extends from the corset or the corset waist down the side 0110081 to she k.nee in one undi- vided band.

Unless the °testi° is so short that it causes a jerk ab every stop, this suspender is .absolutely hy- gienic:. It may even be nutde ainiost as frivolously pretty as the round one, for its clasps may be of silver and itself of ribbon -edged silk elastic. In winter it is comparatively easy to bold tbe stocking in place ,by the suspen- der garter, for they cling to the silk or woolen union undersuite which all hy- gtenically inclined wonien wear. In sum- mer, when they are of slippery silk or i lisle thread and when there is no rough . underwear surface to help in holding them in place, they are ape to slip slightly and lie in wrinkles above the shoe top. The teuly hygienic woman bears this as bravely as she can, preferring wrinkles to compression. The half -way hygienio wo- man compeomises with compression. She relies Upon the suspender garter to hold the stocking .up, but she also wears a pair of sotnewhat loose round garters be- low the knee to keep the stockings from wrinkling. If the exigencies �f tidiness a,bsolutely demahd the round garter it is much better that it should be worn be- low the knee than above, For the leg just below the knee has an extensive area of bone which ,ordinary elastic is powerless to 'compress.
