"Nother" is the sweetest word in the Ian
O,sge saws Clara Belle in the Cincinnati
fn61firer, but how much patience does the
~ inst coming out of childhood need with
that same sweet mother The girl about II
be9lps to get her own notions OF the fitness
NJ things, especially the fit and fitness Of
her clothes. She has succeeded in getting
on corsets and now comes the struggle for
corset-made clothes. The mother went
through it in her time, but she has forgot
fen. She has learned by experience how
pernicious corssts are, and she is deter
mined that her girl shall not ruin
herself by going into the things till it
Il absolutely necessary. The daughter and
she. hewever differ on the time that marks
the absolutely necessary period. The
mother tells her child how corsets crowd the
organs, aad her child does not care in the
least whether her organs are crowded or
not. That sounds awful, but it is true.
All the child cares about is having her figure
look nice. 1t is amazing the embarrass-
meut the average mother feels before her
suddenly maturing child. All her interest
in the child's welfare caunot give her the
courage to hold her own in the discussion
that comes up on this matter She goes to
near and casual friends in her despair, and
avows her own inability.
DO speak to Maudie about it: she simply
will not attend TO a thing say, and the
child is running herself" Meanwhile Maudie
goes right on.
Directly girls begins to get iuto corsets
she begins to stand with her abdomen pro-
truding. Probably she stood SO before. 1t
is the fault Of our growing aud many Of
our grown girls, but it shows all the worse
when corsets begin to crowd the organs.
or course l do not say a word about the
organs. The girl is tired to death of hear
ing about them, and she isn't bit interested
10 them anyhow. take a critical look at
her and l say: "MY dear, you will have to
put on oorsets pretty soon, won't your
Then She says, tossing hear head, "Ihave
them 3D."
Yes. but mean you will have to begin to
lace very soon. Every one has 10. OF course
people say oae should not, but that lie all
nonsense. You can't have a decent figure
unless you do lace"
With this the child joyfully agrees. Then
go on: 80 you must get yourself ready
for ii. The first thing is to learn to stand
SO that you can get the things on right OF
curse, when you lace 1t pushes you down.
That is why people object They say it
crowds the organs. As for me, think it
makes very little difference whether the
organs are crowded or not, so long as they
don't stick out and make one ali big aud
horrid below the belt. The way TO
prevent that is to learn to hold
yourself straight in front You need to
practice it quite time before you put the
Greet on tight, 80 as 60 get the muscles all
around the sides and in the front below the
waist so strong that they can keep you from
being pushed out in front no matter how
tight you wear your corsets If you don't
ct these muscles strong you will be made
ell puffy aud big, and when you once get
that way your figure is just ruined. Once
you get into tight corsets you cannot get
out OF them, and the more you wear them
the worse they make you. So you had better
begin to get ready right off, Advise her
that she had better start by making her
corsets as loose as possible. "Or, because
loose corsets are so uncomfortable, better
take them off entirely. Put on one Of your
old waists just for now. After all, it does
not make much difference in tue summer
how one looks, ard then. since you have not
really begun to wear corsets, no one will
have to work pretty hard to get yourself in
shape this summer, but would do it, be-
cause you really ought TO have your next
winter dresses made with small waists

ing AS a matter Of fact, the girl ha got to
60 into corsets some time. About the time
she has an unquenchsble desire to do so Is
as good time as auy. The important thing
ls really just as | have said-that she does
not go into and begin to lace them until she
mas learned to carry herself we'll That
learned, she can wear and even lace them
WIN comparative safety. Impress it upon
her that the thing to avoid is rounding
out Ia front below tho belt. Point a few
ngures In which the abdomen it prominent
out to her. She will soon watch herself
carefully. This will put check on her
facing Any mother ought to be tarred and
