Readiness in Unforeseen emergencies

On such occasions fertility of resource

History Of the Corset

From the London City Journal.
The corset had It's origin in Italy. and
was introduced from that country into
France by Catherine do Medicis. Mary
Stuart and Diane Poitiers did not, how
ever, follow the fashion, but II WAS ad.
mitted by NIL the ladies Of the French
court that IL was indispensable " the
beauty Of the female figure. and was.
therefore, adopted by them. Tho corset
was In those days In It's infancy. and IL
assumed o Of the rough chArscteN
OF . knights cuirass. The frame was
entirely of iron. and the velvet which
decorated the exterior hid q frighfful
and cumbersome machine. This state
of things 50 detrimental To health. and
the cause Of so much personal inconve-
niencc. not To say torture, could not
last long, and the artisans Of those days
contrived to give more pliability and
lightness 10 the metal. and prepared
the way by degrees for whalcbone.
But, as reforms are always slow. the
cold iron continued to clasp the warm
hearts of the fair wearers for q long
time In its embrace. The corset found
favor In the eyes Of Louis XIV. In the
following reign the corset was threat
ened with Punishment from the toilet.
Fashion took n rural and simple turn,
and was almost guided by the taste Of
Boucher, In whose pictures many Of
the court celebrities figure rs shepherds
and shepherdesscs. But the painter
departed. and fashion returned TO the
dim eccontricities of the former times.
During the revolution the corsets were
again forgotten. and under the direct
DRY 1t was completely ~interdicted by the
fashionable world. The bellies of the
day took a classic turn. the Roman
dress-the toga. sandal. etc. The en-
pire dethroned the classic fashion, but
without taking the corset in favor.
High waists were in favor. and Ia mode
revealed n taste certainly the reverse
Of prudery. With the fall Of the empire
fell also the waist. and then came also,
rs n necessity, the return To the corset.
