TIGHT LACING AND GREAT MEN.

A correspondent of an exchange says
that 1.-The tight-lacing periods of his
tory have always been productive of
the greatest geniuses; the loose-dress-
ing periods the reverse. Bacon, Shake
speare, Drake, Marlborough, Thacke-
ray. Dickens, Scott-to mention only
a few of the names-were born when
chroniclers and fashion artists reveal
to us the fact that women We're never
satisfied till they could span their
waists" and while eighteen inches was
the fashionable standard, many fash
ionable girls and women possessed
waists fully two or three inches
smaller"
zone is again seeing much neater
figures, and corsetieres predict re-
vival of tight-lacing. Let us hope
that this will mean a climb upward
from the abyss of commonplace, and
a recrudescence of the brilliance which
distinguished the Elizabethan age"
But Thackeray said he would as
lief marry a girl with a bumped back
as one with an eighteen-inch waist.

SAVANNAH CHAPTER, U. ID. G.

About thirty members of Savannah
Chapter U. d. c., were present yes
terday afternoon. at the regular De-
cember meeting of the chapter at Vet
Grams Hall. Mrs. Hull presided, and,
after the reports of the officers and
the various standing committees were
read, directed discussion chiefly to the
New Year ball, which is to be given
at the Guards Hall Dec. 90 Mrs. Hull
called attention to the fact that no
special committees had been appointed
by her to take charge of the enter
tainment, but that this work was dele
gated to the regular special commit
tees appointed yearly by the chapter.
She emphasized the fact that without
cooperation and enthusiastic effort on
the part of every member the ball
could not be made a success, and ask
ed the chapter to feel itself a commit
tee of the whole in charge of the en-
tertainment, and give to it the neces-
sary individual interest and work.
The registrars report showed an adj
dition of five members. Mrs. Lily Lee
Smith and Mrs. Elizabeth C. Jordan
were entered by demit from the Au-
gusta Chapter, and Mrs. G. E. Strader
from the Robert e. Lee Chapter of An
derson. S. c. The other new members
were Miss Mary Elizabeth Willink and
Mrs. Margaret w. Sigwald.
When the registrars report was
read, Mrs. Hull, in commenting upon
it, said that Mrs. M. L. Johnson, the
state registrar, had written her that
she noted with qualification the steady
increase in the membership of the Sa-
vannah Chapter, that it was above
of oh in, Bob
that the work of the chapter registrar,
Mrs. George: W. Lamar, was above
criticism. This gave great satisfaction
TO the ladies present, especially the
compliment to Mrs. Lamar. whose
work has been greatly appreciated by
the chapter and whose efficiency as an
officer has often been commented upon.
