manner of a corset. And many OF the
best gowned women in Paris are discard
ing the corset and adopting this new
wrinkle, with the result that the figure
gains much in grace and freedom and at
tains a slenderness which In some cases
is positively amazing. These princess
underdresses are so carefully fitted ana
finished that it Is almost impossible TO
see where they are fastened or to real
ize how they are put on. They mold
the form lovingly and give q perfect
foundation for the princess frocks OF
lightweight fabrics. These corset un-
derdresses are much more satisfactory
than the boned princess gowns which for
some time past have been so beloved by
the Parsiennes. Personally l have never
seen corset robe which did not betray
itself On the other hand, the corset
underdress supports the figure so perfect
ly that the gown proper may be practical
ly left without whalebones in any part.
1t goes without saying that this new
corset garment takes the place Of the
petticoat, which since the introduction
Of the pantalon and sheathbocker has
had a secondary part in the underwear
line; but, leaving out of the question the
difficulty of walking. which the absence
of petticoats presents, there is positive
danger to health arising from the
scantiness of underclothing these days.
Only a little while ago doctor told
me that there were no dangers more to
be feared than cold. appendicitis and

and scanty lingerie women now wear
are no protection. Let us. my sisters.
