Fact That isn't a doctors decree,

different in that it always changes

out OF it.
II isn't only every dog that has his
day every woman has hers The day

Fashions latest order to my milady
is not simply to reduce her hips, but to
get rid Of them entirely-wipe them off
her anatomy, so to speak. Already
that class o t women who would rather
die than ignore fashions decree, are
needing the call, Proprietors of New
York Turkish baths say their business
has picked up wonderfully within the
past few weeks, and corsetiers are rack
ing their brains for inventions calcu-
lated to eliminate hips.
The reason lies in the fact that the
-smartest Of fall raiment calls for se-
verely straight lines. There is not a
curve in the seams of the swagger hip,
length jackets, and the long coats of
broadcloth do not so much as ripple at
the waist line. To put it briefly, it has
become absolutely vulgar to have hips.
