and there are many strong or booy
who have no Ills. who never feel their

and of the actual number Of pounds that
their skirts weigh. This is due to the
indented waist line of the badly cut cor

The maker OF this delusion has not
known enough about anatomy to allow
room for one woman inside of one cor

There are, fortunately. some makers who
now have undertaken to lessen the hip
and abdomen, which pressure is not
harmful, but upholds the organs: and
they have made room by the slope Of
the cores for the enlarged waist meas

in such way that the waist appears
no larger, because the whole lower
