ton to the rule, which forbade any
member OF the class from joining in the
exercises unless corsetless and garter
less. Health waists and elastic stock
ing supports fastened to the waist and
border OF the stockings were donncd
obediently by the pupils. That was
last winter, when Miss Cole first came
to Baltimore to take the direction
Of the physical culture department.
So the girls enjoyed an hour or
more OF bodily comfort each day.
But when class timc was over they
all heroically went back to their cor
sets. This went on for time until one
or two girls declared their intention OF
bidding q final farewell TO the bony
structures. Some viewed the reform
with horror, but gradually all OF the
girls fell in line with the advance
