Room TO Breathe.

1t is one Of the hopeful and comforting
signs Of the times that the compressed
waist, save on n few mistaken and mis-
guided women, Is rarely seen. Whether 1t
is the bicycle or the fashion that has
wrought this change, or whether women
have grown more sensible and are demand
ing room 20 breathe, matters not. The
result is the only thing in which we are
specially interested, and this is exceeding
ly favorable to health, good sense and the
comfort of the woman of today and scores
a great gain in the probable advancement
of generations to come. 1t was subject
of remark at the horse show that so many
women looked comfortable as to figure.
Women who, some years ago, had waists
somewhat on the hourglass principle were
wearing dresses that gave them couple
of inches more belt measure than OF old
and they looked quite as well to the arts
tic eve and thousand times better in the
ewes of those whose opinions are worth
having. The fashions of the day have
perhaps made the large waist possible
I The enormous sleeves have been the OBJ
jects OF attention in the toilet, and whether
/ the waist was fraction or so larger OF
smaller really did not count. AT al
events, we have more amplitude, more
room TO breathe and more space for expan
sion and are duly and humbly thankful. -
