Loss of Form.

After womea pass middle age they
lose considerable amount of their
height, not by STOPPING, as men, but by
actual collapse, sinking down; this is
mainly to be attributed to the perishing
Of the muscles that support the frame
in consequence of habitual and constant
pressure of corsets and dependence up
on the artificial support by them afford
ed. Every girl who wears corsets that
press upon these muscles and restrict
the free development Of the fibres that
form them, relieving them of their nat
ural duties Of supporting the spine, in.
deed incapacitating them from 80 doing,
may feel sure she is preparing herself to
be dumpy woman. A great pity!
Failure of health among women when
that vigor OF youth passes away is but
too patent aud but too COMMONLY cane.
ed by this practice. Let the man who
admires the pieces Of pipe that does duty
for human body picture to himself the
vested form and scanned skin. Most
women, from long custom Of wearing
these corsels, are really unaware how
much they are hampered or restricted.
A girl of twenty intended by nature to
be one OF her finest specimens gravely
assures one that her corsets are not
tight, being ths same size as those she
was first put into, not perceiving her con-
demnation in the fact that she has since
grown fve inches in height and two in
shoulder breadth. Her corsets are not
too tight because the constant pressure
has prevented the natural development
of heart and lung space. The dainty
waist OF the poets is precisely that dex-
ible slimness that is destroyed by cor
sets. The form resulting from them is
not slim. but .piece OF pipe, and not
quite as flexible.
