jfl I to make as think that the modish woman
j J3t. I ,8 8'neT to so without her corset, but
when she sets to her dressmaker milady
probably will And that she need not die
card her corset: she must only look as If
she were unooroeted. For the first time
since that of the ancient Greeks, we are
coming -to realize that a woman's natural figure la al
ways the beautiful flffure.
The day of the wasp waist, l&rce bust, and redundant
nips has passed and even the fashion plate today has
some resemblance to the human form divine; and most
women have found out that their dress may be com
fortable, artistic, beautiful, and stylish at the earns
time.
Half the cry of the doctors and dress reformers
against the corset has been because these people have
tnVfm their Ideas of what the corset Is from the
wooden figures In the window displaying models for
commercial purposes or from the impossible fashion
drawings in the magazines. These figures and draw
ings evidently are always made by some one who has
no Idea of anatomy, as there Is no place for the heart,
lungs, or other necessary anatomical arrangements of
humanity. Even today the fashion magazines will show
you drawings of the feminine form In which no live
woman could exist.
Critics Have Wrong Conceptions.
With these fashion follies In their minds, It Is quite
probable that all the good people who rail against the
corset think If a woman wears one of these Instru
ments of torture she must positively eliminate all the
Important Internal factors from her physical being.
We are getting more sane on the subject of dress
every day; we are placing our belt line whero it be
longs up under the bast; .we are making our hips
smaller and our waist proportionate to hips and bust.
It is all nonsense to say that at any other epoch
woman's attire was more artlstlo or comfortable than
It Is today. The straight lines make for comfort every
time, and every possible adjunct has been added to en
hance feminine beauty, whlcSwneans feminine health.
Of these perhaps the most Important is the corset, and
rightly .fitted and properly pat on. It Is the most com
fortable garment fhat woman wears.
There has been more Improvement in corsets in the
last few years than any other artlole of woman's at
tire. Iom a dreadful, torturing armor of heavy iron
and cloth, it has become a dainty bit of lingerie of the
softest material rad pliable whalebone, 'thai not only,
idds to the comfort, but to the -beauty of Its wearer.
Wearer Must Stand. Corredp.
Bad to relate, in this age of luxurious llvisg-, there
are few women who hsve a perfect figure, but evn
tf they have, a corset will make them more at ease
io. modern costumes, as it will eliminate the feeilatT of
constriction around the walstwhlch a tight band will
give and also that dragging from the shoulders if one's
B9wn h wigs-from there.

this article been perfected that If a woman buys a
well made, well designed corset today and puts It on
properly It Is almost Impossible to have what is often
referred .to as a high 'stomach. So cunningly shaped le
..the modern corset that one must perforce, hold the
abdomen In and the chest up. This puts the center of
gravity where It should be straight down to' the balls
of the feet. -
Teachers of physical culture are priding themselves
upon the Improvement of the human form in the last
few years, and they should be congratulated, for their
campaign for health and .beauty has done much. But
unquestionably Improvement In the shape of "the corset
has done mqre, for it nas helped thousands of women
who-do not go in for physical culture, 'who Are too In
dolent to work, off their flesh, or even, stand and
breathe properly, to improve their forms.

All this talk we hear -nowadays about long lines.

true If your bust Is large, in which case a low bust1
corset and b-ai&sere should be worn. Tour corset
should be unlaced until It 'will clasp easily and allow
you to bring It down properly over the hips without
pulling your flesh down unduly. So not try to draw
your flesh up in your corset, as was the fad a few
years ago.
Next fasten the front and side stocking supporters;
now adjust your figure by taking a long breath and
rising to the balls of your feet. Then the laces should
be tightened up to the waist line and from the top a
downward to the same place.
In a back laced corset sometimes the laces are tied
about half way to the waist line and then again at the
waist line, but in the front laced style the adjustment
Is always made In the waist line.
Do not have your corsets laoed too tight at the top
especially if you are a little plump across the shoulder
blades, as this will give an ugly bulging effect of flesh )
at the back. Leave your corsets looser above the waist
than below, as just now the most popular figure Is tha
one that suppresses the hips.
It is every woman's ambition to look sylphllks, but
most women are too Indolent to work for the trlasv
figure they desire. They would rather resort to a corset
wbTch binds in their- superfluous flesh to a point wher
it Is imposs)blefor them to breathe properly than to
harden their flabby flesh by proper diet and vigorous
exercise.
However, as long as fashion decrees the narrow
skirts and simple lines of today, every woman wh
cares for that nameless thins we call "mode" must
paraphrase Polonlut' advice to his son and use as one
of her shopping commandments: Costly thy corset as
thy purse can ' buy, f or the corset oft proclaims the
stylish woman. Economize on anything else, but mak
sure that you buy only the best artlole or its kind, as
your8lmple frock will be pronounced perfection If the t
proper attention to the purpose and adjustment of your
corset is given.
