Now, I want you to give that to the best "combination girl" in Rock County, with the compliments of the Sun.
We fellows won't dance with 'em if they've got corsets on, so off they come." "What's the world coming to?" cried the editor. "You'd better ask where it's going to," said Charlie Webster. "Do you go to the opera very often?" asked Miss Miller nervously.
"'This confirmed my first deductions after seeing the body on Saturday night in the doctor's furnished room with alcove bedroom adjoining. You will remember that as soon as I had seen him I revealed that he was wearing corsets. "'These cases of status lymphaticus are intensely interesting.

The price of a pair of corsets sold retail in Paris may have been subtly influenced by a strike of smelters of iron ore in Silesia; and your china tea-set may be dearer to-morrow by reason of a sudden outbreak of foot and mouth disease among the herds of the Argentine.
The gayly apparelled clerk from Bonneville had just involved himself in a deplorable incident. In a search for his handkerchief, which he had lost while trying to find his programme card, he had inadvertently wandered into the feed room, set apart as the ladies' dressing room, at the moment when Mrs. Hooven, having removed the waist of Minna's dress, was relacing her corsets.
