Tight Lacins.
THE ABsURDITY OF THE CUSTOM AS
WELL AS ITS EFFECT UPON THE
HEALTH OF SLAVES TO
THE FASHION.

AEALTH OF SLAVES TO
THE FASHION.
There would be no tight lacing il
girls could be made to understand this
simple fact:-that men dread the
thought of marrying woman who is
subject to fits of irritable temper, t. bad
headaches, and other ailments we need
not mention, all of which, everybody
knows, are the product of the compress
sion of the waist: men like to see q
small waist, certainly; but there Is a
great difference between the waist
that is well formed and in proportion
to the rest of the figure, and a waist
which is obviously and artificially COM
pressed, to the destruction Of that easy
and graceful carriage which is one of
the chief charms of wOnanis appear
ance. An unnaturally compressed
waist is far more certain of detection
than mass of false hair or faint
dusting of powder. The rawest youth
that enters u ballroom can pick out the
women who have Strengthened them
eslyes artificially.
II a young woman, to obtain the ap-
pearance of dragon-fly, has been sub
jecting herself to considerable physical
pain, and who has been laying up for
herself a pretty store of ailments which
only want time to pronounce them
selves, could only see the stare of scarce
ly disguised contempt and understand
the scornful pity which greets the
result of her labor, we should have a
change of fashion. Through all changes,
women remain true only to one FASH
ION; wheather her clothing is as long
and lank as that of a Grecian Virgin,
or whether she builds around the
lower half of her figure a rotund and
capacious structure of steel, she is ever
faithful to the tradition of q small
waist; and she will weaken her circu-
lation, she will llincur headache, she will
crack her voice and she will ruin her
digestion,al to produce malformation
which wise men regard with pity and
fools with derision.
That ladies can be fitted with corset
which Will not compress the waist, but
give support, health, and comfort to
the body, and easy and graceful car
riage to the appearance has been fully
demonstrated by the celebrated philan-
tropist Nine. Dean, of Brooklin, NY :,
who has lately patented corset which
is a combination OF shouider-brace and
spine-supportihg corset, and while com
ululllS Gltc OcAellCS VI UOLil, Is cAGluttlf
simplified into firstclass corset. They
are specially constructed with two
curved springs so as to fit exactly on
and support the sholder-blades and
another spring to support the spine.
Made of the very finest tempered clock
spring. thus creating complete support
for the spine and supplying covering
for the open space in the back, thereby
protecting the spine from cold and
giving u smoothness of fit to the back
of the dress, making it a valuable and
mostnecessary corset for general use.
1t has already received the highest
Communications from the leading mod
istes, the fashionable dressmakers, and
the most eminent physicians of the
United States and Europe.

tee that they Will be made of the best
