A WARNING TO TreH4 LAcERs.--.

A WARNING TO TreHT LAcERs.--A case of foolish yielding to the dictatcs-of vanity occurred in Day ton few days ago. A young lady had been in the habit of lacing very tightly for long while, and had caused hook to be placed in her room, and she would fasten her corset strings to it to enable her to draw her corset tighter. She had done it so long with impunity that she grew careless, and, the other day, in repeating the torture, she threw hersclr too heavily on the strings and broke "a blood vessel, from which she died in few hours. A. ssd cofnmcn- tary on attempting to make the form, from mistaken idea of beauty, differ ent from what it naturally is-[ [Cincin- natl Gazette.
