plump or weak and thin, an aWk-
ward one-motioned machine, fit only
to carry about that helpless yet
regnant idol, the dummy. Where the
dummy is, there must the skirt be also.
The causes of this dual monster, separate
yet indivisible, lie so wide and so deep
that we cannot seek their uttermost
roots in one short article. We must
begin with comparatively modern
causes, things easily seen and proved.
And let us premise that neither the
desire for comfort nor for beauty is
among them.
The need for warm and thorough
clothing has always existed in cold
countries; we have clothing among the
Eskimo, but not the dummy.
The demand for ornament is as old as
Eden. We have ornament among the
South Sea Islanders, but not the dummy.
Not in savagery, not in barbarism, not
in the pagan cults do we find it; not in
the Dark Ages, either; no, it is the very
flower and crown, the last perfect prod
uct of modern Christian civilization.
Shall we go behind those deep desires
''to be slender" 'to be SMOOTH"
With these demands as a handspring,
and our natural sense of abstract pro-
portion as regulator, the course of con-
struction is plain?
Would you be slender?
Squeeze the waist.
An ugly line is produced, and it hurts.
Fit the whole body tight and then
squeeze.
This is done, but still there are hori-
zontal wrinkles when the body bends.
Would You be smooth?
Stiffen the dress and then squeeze.
This is done, but rich materials are in
jured by the strain.
Hal 1 have til Put simple stiff thing
underneath and make the dress smooth
over it.
The corset was bornl But the first
stays were crude affairs at best.
The grand, intelligent curves of bosom
and hip did not agree with the rnyield
ing plane in the middle.
So the normal instinct of proportion
and harmony, acting on this absolutely
essential base, slowly evolved the I'M
dulating prison that now blends and
compels all the free, noble, necessary
lives of the body into one set and sense
less shape.
This accomplished, that same normal
instinct of harmony and proportion, act
ing on the same absolutely essential
base, found that the new kind of body
did not agree with the old kind of legs,
or even with the new kind of legs as
