Of hygiene. which is universal in the
twentieth century, we are learning that
the girls who used 10 be sacrificed on
the altar OF a mistaken ideal need not
have died so soon. Very early in life
they were taught not to run or jump,
or DO anything unfit for a little lady,
and as they grew Oi0er they wore tight
stays, abridging their breathing power;
they slept IN unventiiated rooms, being
afraid of the night air, ard If by any
fatal chance they came near a case of
tuberculosis. they fell victims to il
