FADS AND CRAZES IN DRESS.
Hatless and Barefooted Brigades At

Special Cahegram TO The Star.
LONDON. April 7.-Mr Hether Btgg,
F. r. c. s., has commenced an agitation
against fads and crazes in dress. He is an
expert who has written and lectured to q
considerable extent upon the subject of the
treatment of spinal curvature. Just at
present he is attacking these crazes famiI-
lar as the hatless and barefooted brigades
the Anti-Corset League and the patrons OF
the pneumonia blouse.
Mr. Biggs has already won a hearing with
the women of Great Britain upon the sub
1ect by declaring that corsets are not det-
rimental to health. He declares that the
women OF all dominant and civilized races
always Will wear and, with advantage, al
ways have worn some form of a corset.
He says that in those primitive and aborig-
mai races in which the women do not wear
corsets or, indeed, anything else beyond a
lew beads, there may be girls perfect in
form. but later, as they age, as a rule they
become women who are hideous objects OF
disagreement. He declares that the orig
inal corsets used by the women of Egypt
OF Greece and of Rome were of three
pieces, and these were worn ether together
or separately. as required. 1t Is from tho
conjunction of these triple bands he de-
c!ares that the modern corset has been
evolved What was originally made in
three pieces is now simply manufactured in
one.
In regard to the theorists who attack
boots and stockings. which are said to
cramp the feet and deform the toes and de-
stroy the muscular activity or the arches
and ankles. Mr.. Biggs says There are
two classes of people who do habitualIy
discard boots and stockings. One is the
usher folk round our coast, the other the
factory girls in some of the larger Scottish
cities l commend the adult feet OF both
these classes to those who draft their ch'l-
dren into the barefooted brigade The
truth is, the feet Of those who have been
unbooted till they have reached adult life
are splayed and spread large -jointed and
very generally deformed from the ideal foot
depicted by the greatest painters or mod
eled by the greatest sculptors"
