best private boarding schools at Vienna, Austria
rymaining there from the age OF twelve 70 that of
seventeen. In common with all my fellow. pupils
who were sixty in number. wore corscls during
the whole Of my five years stay at the school, and
was informed bv my teacher that vicunesc gentle
men, MS rule. wore corsc,s. and that the discipline
was naturally enforced TO all their scholars Ny
snYs we're very tightly laced. my waist during my
lust year nt school, heug bit eighteen inches IN cir
cumfcrcnce, yet never experienced a days i'll.
ness, and used very much to cnloy The sensation
Of tight lacne. When len The school discon.
tiuucd the practice, partly from the fcar
OF being ridiculcd hy my friends, and
partly because 1t seemed too crcninatc n
custom for young man engaged in au
active business life; but I have retained
some interest in the matter, and understand that
many English gentlemen wear corsets, and that
the practice OF tightlncing among mon Is becoming
very general In Europe" II Is undoubtedly a fact
that great many English gentlemen wear
stays, particularly when they ride horse
buck. so general Is hu custom becom.
ing that certain corset. makers IN Lon
don now advertise themselves as gentle.
mems stny. makers. The practice IS also quite
prevalent in Prussia particularly among the off
GERS OF the army. But n stir and upright carriage
is not considered In good taste among the Parisian
cxquisites, and so the whllc satin corscts of the
dandies ofCompcipne have found but few imita.
