side the tunic, tightly laced and much
jeweled.
Then fashion wearled of the cora"
and for twelve centuries the corset
langulshed.
The Greeks and Romans next held
sway, and beauty unudorned was good
enough for them.
In the sixteenth century along came
Catherine de Medici, that energetic
lady who meddled In everything, from
empires to hairpins, and she revived
the corset with II vengeance.
She not only wore 1t herself. but also
issued an cdlct that all women of birth
and breeding should wear corsets
which should reduce their waist meas
urcs to thirteen inches.
This corset was called Il Corps md
was sttltened in every possible man
ner. In this the body was pinched

clasped n perfectly fitting corset cover,
constructed of thin plates OF steel,
fashioned in two pieces and opening
