WHAT re corsets?
Why are corsets?
The cosmic problem of Cbe corset has Just been left on the door
rWzSkktrrPf iavu, wou-znaae oorrccuy snapca corsets are a
jfi&K3 ' luxury? I doubt If the well-dressed American woman
tffiffi W,H concede that Every dressmaker, every fashion
ty P7 magazine, maintains that the properly fitting corset Is
the foundation of the successful costume. Personally,
I should Ust corsets as a necessity, albeit a painful, a hated necessity .
save, perhaps. In Greenwich Village.
Since corsets are one of the properties of So Man's Land, how can any
male, even a male Revenue Commis
sioner, define or diagnose them?
f What does he know about them? lias
he ever endured their steel bondage?
Not Ms the secrets of the prison
house. And yet men always nro try
trie to regulate corsets, or denounce
..them, or abolish thorn.
Only last 'summer some slant mas
culine Intellect suggested that Amer-
Jean women 'win the war not with
.but WITHOUT corsets. The War
Industries Hoard announced that all
available steel must be used for
ships, and the corset manufacturers
bad to enter a sharp protest 'The
corset 'won this contest, however. Its
position seems as Impregnable as Its
structure.
i Ere was possibly coraetless, al
though there Is nothing; to show that
..she did not make some stiff, rigid,
.corset-like garment out of smnlt treo
..branches. In order that her , fig-leaf
skirt might set better. The Venus de
Mlto never wore a corset but what's
, the use of being a goddess It yon can't
,.gt away with a thing or two7 It Is
'certainly a fact that tho humon fcolles
of ancient a recce and Homo wore
supports of the corset order, con-
striding too abundant embonpoint,
r whether appearing above, at or below
the waist.
Excavations In Crete showed that
.'J.000 years ago women of thut Island
.xwere wearing not only corsets but
-hobble skirts. In the Middle Ages
-armor was worn by ladlea as "well an
knights. Some stays were constructed
of crossbars of motal securely riveted
to each pther and fastened to a strong
framowork. This Is tho description of
nnother corset of those times: "It Is
made of two sheets of solid metal,
with holes punched out to make them
,'llgMcr. These metal sheets support
the back and are hinged to a sort of
ulrass made of four bands of metal,
running parallel to the ribs, strength
ened nt the sides ,aml in the centro by
bands of Iron wrtlch nre fastened to
, the framework above and below, while
'the hrensts uro held In by a circular
case mude on the same lines." Lines
Js probably right! any womun so nt
'tired would have" ull the llneur supple
, pees of a figure In Euclid's geometry.
'SUe Itnllan beaut.es of the ItcnnlM
usance were corseted. French women
of fushlon always have laced tightly;
ln faot. Calhorlne le Medici ordered
that all women of good birth and
breeding should reduce their waists
to the abnormal slxe of thirteen Inches
i tho site of a boy's collar. The cor-
set went over to England wlUi tho
. conquering Normans.
Almost as ancient as the corset has
been the war waged against this gar
ment it has had foemen worthy of
Its steel. The noman Terence wrote
n diatribe about It such as might
have been penned by a modern natlr
,1st on sartorial follies. Bo ardently
.did the health authorities of his time
'abuse the corset that Charles IX. of
France tried to suppress It, and his
brother, Henry III.. Issued an edict
prohibiting the use of It. In those
days the corset was rolled the bus-
qutne and was made of Btrong linen
fastened to a busk or wood or
metal, so that It could be drawn ns
tightly as possible.' KccdlrBs to say,

Ever since Civil War days there
has been more or less discussion as
to who was the youngest General of

has never attempted to settle tho
matter by any official statement, but
all available Information Indicates
that Gen. Nelson A. Mites, who at
tained the rank of Ilrigadler General
on Slay II, 1881, at the age of twenty
four, was the youngest General officer.
Probably not before, nnd certainly not
since, hasnny one so youthful reached
