Do Your Cossers Fire You may think they do, but notwithstanding it 1s Ukely they do NOT. If you find they do not wear Weill the chances are it is because they do NOT ft. If you experience discomfort it iscertain they do NOT fit. If your figure does not show to best advantage it is because your corsets do NOT fit. If your drees- maker proves unsatisfaetory it may be because your corset do NOT fit. As with gloves 20 with corsete—you need to choase From @ variety that includes @ full complement of style and sizes. Many ladies and many merchants who sell corsets have no ides of the hundreds of dif- ferent styles absolutely necessary. ‘Thus very many ladies wear corsets that do NOT fit_that are not best adapted to them, The Palais Royal's corset department is quoted among inerchants of this and other cities as one of the ‘most complete inthe country. Recognized as such also by the leading importers and also by the manu- facturers of Paris, whose reputation is world wide. Thus the Palais Royal has been granted the sole agency for the **FASSO" Corset, the leading corset of the leading Paris makers and, therefore, the lead- ing corset of the world. It is also well known that here is by far the largest and most complete collection of the celebrated ““P. ."and"*C.P.""and other makesof repute. Many ladies have learned to know that they may wear P. D., ©. P. and other corsets that do NOT fit. They have learned the necessity of choosing from the best collec tion. Besides the regular makes The Palais Royal has specialties, The following special prices tomorrow to make new champions for them: 82 for the $2.50 “‘Lowis XVI" Corsets, modeled to suit the style of costume now in vogue. $1.50 for the 81.75 ‘*A la Venus" Corset for 1808. Black, white and colors. 81 for the 81.25 “Empire” Corset—a short-waist corset that many prefer. Sc for the 81.50 ‘4 la P, D.” Corsets, made for the Palais Royal by the makers of the P. D. and modeled after the latest style of that famous corset. ‘TSc for the $1 ‘*Perfect At" Corsets, The name is suggestive of this corset and explains its growing pop- larity. The introductory sale of Summer Corsets also occurs tomorrow. The special prices are 750 for the $1 Corsets and 81 for the $1.25 Corsets. Indicative of the completeness of the Palais Royal's stock is the collection of Corsets for Misses from 12 to 6 years of age. No less than fourteen different styles, allof which are built on scientific principles. ‘This applies to the cheapest at 50c pair, to the most expensive at $1.75 pair. Asa “‘special” for tomorrow the 50c Misses’ Corsets will be offered for only 38¢ Pair. No ethat the shoulder straps are so arranged that not only is the weight of the clothes taken from the hips, but stooping fs prevented. Sar Ladics not in immediate need of Corsets for the:uselves or children are invited to call. The Cor- setiere is only too anxious to demonstrate the com- pleteness of her department.

Brumbach’s Disappeurance. The army theory about Lieut. Brumbach, who disappeared from this city last Saturday, is that he has purposely absented himself with a view of being decinred s deserter from the army. Three months is the limit of time an officer can remain away from duty without leave before expulsion. But as Lieut. Brum- bach has been unofficially declared incapaci. tatea, mentally, for work and was on bis way to the asylum, the question has arisen whether he could be dropped as a deserter before some examination is made as to bis sanity. ‘The date upon which he requested his resig- nation to be accepted bas passed, and while it is still before the department it cannot be ac- cepted in its t form. Should the lieu- tenant again tender to the Secretary his resig- nation it is believed it would be promptly ac- cepted. Lieut. Brumbach’s family is said to be opposed to his resigning from the army. “He, on the contrary, is bent on it, and if the de- partment does not see fit to let him resign he will probably force himself out by remaining away from his po-t until the Secretary will be obliged to consider him a deserter and his | name be then stricken from the rolls of the army.

In the Senate yesterday resolutions were re- ported from the committee on contingent ex- penses as follows: Directing the commissioner of labor to make 8 report at the opening of the Fifty-third Con- gross as to the total cost of various iron and steel products and of textile fabrics, and au- thorizing the committee on finance to make such further investigation of the matter as it may deem important.
