: The especial virtue of the skin corset
IS that II always gives little to the

thereby conveys fresh and pleasing out
lines. It is as well pUrchasable in lovely
bright colOrs, its trimmings usually con-
sists of tiny frills of pinked ribbon and it
closes just like a glove. 1t is also very
easy to believe the saleswoman's state
ment that pair of suede corsets will
very nearly last a decade. but it should
be borne in mind that they are not for
summer use.

COMFORTABLE LACING.
Here IS another boon for the stout
women who suffer from a surplus of hips,
etc. and who have to much conscience
or too hearty appetites TO lace. Let them
give ear 10 the new theory of lacing cor
sets by which too solid flesh may be held
in allegiance and yet no harm done physic-
ally.
The dressmakers have gotten this new
device from a physician, who says to pull
out your corset laces as you now have
them lay the eyelet sides of the corsets
vis-a-vis. as though TO begin a fresh or
thodox lacing and then taking one LAGER
put it, from beneath. through an eyelet
al the waist line on that side of the corset
through as far at the top eyelet. run
through this one and let an end four or
five inches long project Now take the
other LAGER and pass it through that eye
let next below the one where the other
LAGER first went through and draw it down
to the bottom eyelet. run through and let
a five-inch end hang. Pick up the great
length of the first LAGER and begin zig
tagging it back and forth through eyelets
on both sides OF the two sections of cor
set until an end hangs out opposite the
first end mentioned. With the long por-
ton of the second LAGER zigzag through
the holes Of both pieces of corset to the
bottom. where an end must hang out op-
posite the second end mentioned.
When so laced M, put on the eorsets,
hook them. and see what viii happen.
Simply pull on the top and bottom ends
of the laces that are not zie-zagged
through. end the corset will first draw
into fis about waist and ribs comfort
ably and without pressure. At top and
bottom, though, where. over the bust
project and add greatly To girth these
edges viii draw in perfectly tight and
flat. No discomfort will be felt and so
lacine her sta-s. woman can reduce
her hip and bust measure matter of
three to five inches. In doing this thu
flesh is not rolled up under her chin or
thrust out in ungainly humps. but. be-
cause the stay is easy at waist line and |
over ribs. the surplus fat is gracefully |
readjusted.

TO make these barbaric ornaments
