ABOUT THE NEW CORSET
AND OTHER THINGS MODISH

WRITTEN FOR III SUNDAY REPUBLIC.
Here are d few facts about the new
French corset. In the first place. Il fits 10
the figure most comfortably, which IS a de-
Cided advantage. 1t comes up high at the
back though # is low at the front. not con-
filming the bust. though it comes well down
over the hips and at the front below the
waistline. II gives the straight front which
IS most desirable in the present fashions.
The waist appears larger in this corset than
The average woman cares to have hers. but
when it IS known that the leading Partisan
costumers insist now upon fewer curves IN
the figure. perhaps the new corset will find
higher favor. A good deal has been said al
ready about the slantirg waistline. but
more remains to be said. The slauting
waistline is to be recommended because 20
bring (; about one is obliged 10 stand COR
rectly. The belt comes high ct the back,
o. rather just to the waistline, while IN
front II is dropped several inches below the
usual waistline. The fronts OF bodies are
fun. but not poUchy. rather q fiat effect IS
given them.
There are two conspicuously fashionable
trimmings-friuge and stitching. Midwin;er
introduced these and found them much
liked. but the spring season will find them
at their height Of popularity. tn cloth
gowns that are now being made are all
stitching in one way or another. Some
times the stitching trimming consists OF
row after row. and again cloth or velvet
bands are put on with many rows Of ma
chine stitching. Il is no longer the vogue
TO have the thread contrast with the ma
teriai. II now must be OF the same shade to
be elegant,
