THE FASHIONABLE FIGURE,
A Very Small waist No Longer Considers
ed Elegant.

Nearly all fashions except those Of the
empire hnvo tended TO clonpotc and de-
crease the size Of the waist. Nevertheless
at present this tendency Is by nc means
exaggerated, rs has too frequently been
the case In past times, and there is a
wholesome reaction from the taste for very
tight lacing which brings the hips and
bust into disproportionate prominence.
Pcrhaps-nay, probably-this return to
the normal is due to the increase Of out Of
door exercises among women, for nobody
can bicycle or play golf in excessively tight
clothes. AS tho eye becomes accustomed
to the natural figure the artificial figure
ecoiucs more and more dipleasing. Tho
