Tax Ast Or Misp If the subject cam be led intos certain train of thought, of, if surrounding surest certain thoughts, it's not so difficult to read the mind of another. The writer dors not claim extraordinary Power, and yet he will be right, in nine cases out of ten, when he says that the readers thoughts, but a moment since, were on the subject of «spring cos- tume. Am I right? Ifa lady, the first consideration is the corset—the foundation of one’s costume—the corner stone which if not perfect ruins the whole structure, however beat tifal itmight haveteon. The pertinent question then 4s: Do you wear corsets best adapted to your figure? The Palais Royal helps you to answer the question by the employ of an expert who is a corsetiere in every sense of the word, and who has « stock comprising nearly 200 different styles of Corsets. Thusyoncan be fitted perfectly. A ROOM FOR THE PURPOSE. OUR EXPERT IS ANXIOUS AND WILLING TO GIVE AND RE- CEIVE ADVICE. ANY ALTERATIONS FREE OF CHARGE.

A bunch is handed to him, ‘he smelis them, throws them down, snatches np his quarter and hurriedly leaves the store.
