| We'll, If the small waist is ugly, why
did women ever have tt?' she inquired
again.
1T was the Victorian era that did IT.
Before that during the empire, the women
wore no corsets But you know the pru-
dishness of the Victorian period; they
simply could not stand anything that ioohsd
natural so they bundled and tied them
selves UP in all kinds of shapes. just to be
different from their real outlines"
And what DR.. Sargent says about square

''Oh, they're not square,"
But they must be; ne says So

the style L was thinking Of. The sIoping
shoulder effect we get by the long lines

which women indulge in make the shouI-

So fashion and common sense go hand in
hand in modelling the feminine figure and
the feminine wardrobe. It is wise to guard
against dyspepsia on the one hand; on the
other It is artistic to have waist like
that OF Venus This seemed to be the con-
olusion OF the matter. The highest au-
thority backed up both sides and woman
was seen in her true light, smiling alike
on fashion and sense. Then a disturbing
element crept into the peaceful scene
Would the balance of power always remain

''If some woman of sufficient prominence
