ANAL waist, certainly; but there is great
difference between the waist that is we'll
formed and il proportion to the rest of
the figure, and waist which obviously
and artlfcialIy compressed, to the dis>
truction of that easy and graceful Car
rage which is one of the chief charms OF
woman's appearance. An unnaturally
compressed waist is far more certain o!
detection than a mass OF false hair or a
faint dustins Of powder. The ravest
youth that enters ballroom can pick
out the women who have slaughtered
themselves artificlally.
If a young woman, to obtain the ap-
pearance of a dragOn-fly, has been SUBJ

pain, and who has been laying up for
herself pretty store of ailments which
only want time to pronounce themselves,

her labor, we would have change OF

remain true only to one fashion; whether
her clothing is AS long and lank as that
