.appearance, and she says that as an anti -
fat remedy she can recommend this
course of action warmly.,
Last Monday she was back at the in-
stitution again,. and this is the story
which she pored. -into the empathetic
-ears of the students Who had never tried.
• to "live" high art: -
"1 went to a beauty madam the Tay
first thing, and I made up my mind I'd
follow directions if it killed me. That
course of treatment, Is nothing but a slow
suicide. 'You Won't mind. a little pain,
of course,' the woman said, end she pro-
eeeded to belabor me with 'rubber balls
-attached to teng pliable vvhalebone sticks.
'You're the first girl in Chicago to have
this treatment,' she told me ,consolingly
when I cried with the pain of those awful
blows, and I told her I hoped. I'd be the
last. Those treatments were to 'wake my
-dead flesh to throbbing life," she told
me, and they did. Every bit of rne
throbbed and Weed awfully. ' took only
one treatment. •
_. "Then she handed me over to all able-
bodied young assistant and made me
wrestle. This was to give me a lovely
neck and shoulders. All it did give me
was a lame back and dislocated arm.
But I didn't grumble about the Wrestl-
ing. /earned more about the location of
the larger muscles in that ono lesson
than I ever did at the anatomy class.
But 1 took only one.
"Then she inade me practice standing
on the tips of my toes and bending back-
ward trying to kiss the wall behind me.
These practices were toagive me a 'veil-
elowy figure and a perfect walk.' I don't
know about the figure, but I do know
About the walk. I'm lame from the
wrenching yet.
"The next thing in order was electrie
treatment& After she and her assistants
had dragged me in two opposite direc-
tions for 10 minutes oxalate in order to
- stretch my muscles and limber my joints,
I told her I'd take something a little
;easier. I thought she would beedisgusted
andgive me up, but she did not. ‘Youhad
better try the easy cure,' she said con-
temptuously, and as I'd paid for a full
course of treatment 1 thought I'd follow
that thing to tile bitter end. So I com-
menced the series of baths and oil treat-
ments she prescribed, and for five days I
spent the time when. I wasn't trotting
up and down town to and from her
office in being steamed and rubbed and
'manicured and oiled and brushed. Talk
of slavery! I'd, rather scrub floors! And
all I got for it was ridicule at home, an
inflamed skin and a cold. that will last
me all winter know.
"So on Sunday sat down and figured
the thing out. And this was the way it
seemed to me: Every day I must sleep
for nine hours at night and one in the
-middle of the day. Half an hour in the
hot bath at night, with another half hour
?for bathing and exercising itt the morn-
ing; half an hour night and morning for
brushing my hair, teith atid nails. Here
was half of the e4 honrs gone.
"Out of the remainder I must walk
two, ride one, practiele fencing one and
take two treatments' of an hour each.
Allowing two hours for meals, at which
I was to be sure to consunie a certain
-amount of a given I kind of food, and
another hour in whicto journey to town
_and back, I found should be compelled
- to spend 21 hours out of the 24 in becom-
ing beautiful, with oily three left to be
beautiful. And that was without allow-
ing any time for t e four days a week
when I took lessons r extra treatments.
My course of treatme t cost me $50, and
almond meal, milk, ,osmeties, manicur-
ing oils and so on cost me $10 for that
first week, and never had a. moment to
anys,elf. So I concluded to let the rest of
that course of treatment go, and here-
after I'm going to seedy- art contentedly.
I've had quite eemigli of trying to live it.
And he, fellow-stuidents are laughing
yet.

During the month of January, we always take stock. This has been our
rule for years, and it is a good time to find out what goods have been sticking
on hand nd- require clearing out. Then there are always a lot of ends of goods
of different kinds, prices and qualties, some good Dress lengths, others enongh
for skirts only, and others again only suffieient* for Waist. We' don't want
these to accurmilate and remain on, so as stock )taking time is, when we always
find these things out, we have deekled to mike a general STOOK TAKING
SALE, during January, and ,clean up the entire stook of all goods that have
not gone out promptly. We will make the price do the work, as the stuff must
and shall not stay here, when price will sell it. The people may depend that
we mean business, and the balance of January Will see big things at this store.
'We would advise all to come and share in the benefits of this store.

below regular prices and in many, oases be-
low the cost of preduction. They have
been coining in every day during the past
week, and on Friday morning everything
will be complete, and we will open
(what we are going to call) a Trade
Sale, on an _ extensive scale, on a
scale that will make February salesof
past years sink into insignificance. Februngy
is usually looked upon as a dull month, but
we intend making it one of the biggest of
the whole year. We /meld spot cash for
every dollar's worth we bought, and we will
sell only on the same basis, credit is played
out, and shrewdintelligent buyers are
rapidly finding it to their advantage. It is
a trite,old saying "talk is cheap." It is
easy enough to make claims, very ex-
travagant ones, if a person sees' fit, . but
harder to substantiate them. We tell. the
plain truth about our store in s plain way,
there's never a promise made in our ‘i ads"
which we cannot more than fulfil, never a
price quoted we are not prepared to offer.
Take this one if you Will, bring it to the
