his bosom, and mako us all mindful

which is acceptable in Thy sight. and

THE FIRST LADY OF THE LAND
Puts ban on Corsets--Venus Forms
Will Probably be the Style.

Oyster Bay, n. Y, July 22.---Mrs.
Theodore Roosevelt has essayed the
role Of reformer. 1t Is not the rail-
roads, the corporations nor the ma
ture fakes that have fallen under the
ban Of the first lady of the land. Ac-
cording to an intimate friend the
Presidents wife has decided to dis
card her corsets. All of the female
instruments of torture in her ward.
robe will be thrown into the sarbage
heap, and she will hereafter wage
unceasing warfare against them. II
Mrs. Roosevelt is suacssstnl in her
crusade the corset will be relegated
to the limbo of antiquity, along with
the hoopskirt and the hustle. AS
result the wasp-like waist bids fair
to go out of fashion, and the Venus
form, so long, admired but seldom
emulated, is to have it's inning.
Mrs Roosevelt's action as a sarto-
rial reformer Is not without prece-
dent. When Mrs. Cleveland was
Americas first LADY she placed an

the ban Of official displeasure on that
hideous deformity. At that time the
hustle had grown to erormous size
and caused the American women to
assume a resemblance to the hump
backed ship of the desert. Mrs.
Cleveland's example was speedily fol-
lowed by the nations femininity and
| the hustle became back number.
The opposition of Mrs. Roosevelt
to the corset Is based OH hygienic
facts not unrelated to the subject of
! race suicide. She believes that the
compressing Of vital organs by means
of stays has become positive men
ace and crime against future gene
rations. Such a crusade will not be
without its effect in the financial
world, since millions of dollars are
Invested In corset manufacture in this
country, and any attempt to bring
these articles Of feminine attire into
disrepute will not be accomplished
without a determined effort on the
part of the vested-or "corseted"-.
interests of Il e natio,. ....
