THE QUESTION OF coRsETs.
Shape Becoming Alike to the Too
Thin and the Too Stout Women.

There are no radical departures this
autumn in the shapes of corsets. The
straight line in the front is still with
us, but not, of course, to the exag.
gerated degree it had at first. At the
sides and at either side of the center
line the corsets are shaped in, pinch
ed in, as it is termed, to produce as
far as possible the small-waisted eff
feet without lacing.
Nearly all corsets are long below
the waist line over the hips. This
shape is good for all. 1t outlines and
preserves the slight curve there of
the too thin woman and modifies and
restraints the too great development Of
the stout woman.
The length below the waist line in
the front and the height at the bust
vary widely. In order to be properly
fitted, one should sit in corsets, and If
they prove comfortable below the
waist when seated, and do not push
up or show at the top. that part of
the fitting is accomplished.
A lot of nonsense has been pub
lished about the extremely small waist
