these words OF warning to the growing

mother. At a recent meeting OF the
American Medical Society DR. Craw-
fcrd discussed hygiene for the young
girl, and yesterday I found her full OF
information on that important topic.
please tell me first why . girl
shoaidn't wear corsets7" I requested
Because they hamper her growth
responded the doctor. During the
period between twelve and twenty a
girls whole body Is developing and
changing Its shape. and all possible
freedom should be given to the process.
Should Avoid Tight Clothing.
Not only should no Girl OF this age
wear corsets. bu. she should avoid tight
clothing OF every description. Her
dresses should be the little one-piece
frocks that hang from the shoulders, or.
IL she wears a waist and skirt the lat
ter should lave n roomy belt and the
blouse should be loose and full.
Very Few young girls know how to
put on a corset properly. Personally.
] don't think corsets do anybody any
good. except q few invalids. But there
Is . right way and a wrong way o.
wearing them. In the first place. the
cheap 81 or $50 corset is an abomina-
ton and should never be worn BY any
body. Its lines are all wrong and II
doesn't ht n shape. 1t Is stiff and
unyielding and the carer. must adapt
herself to 1t instead OF adapting II to
her.
"A good corset Is made by people
who know something about the lines OF
the human figure. and " follows them
to . fair degree. It should be low
busted. giving plenty OF room for the
expansion OF tho torso when a fun
breath Is AIKEN. II should come well
down over tho abdomen. though. Of
course. knee-length corsets are ridlcu
lous.
" II should be hooked from the bottom
upward. and the lacings should be re-
adjusted each time the corset is put on.
How to Lace a Corset.
There should DO two lacings, one
going up from the bottom. the other
down from the top, the two meeting at
the waist. where they may be crossed

be left rather loose.
"A young girl wearing a corset sees
another with a wasp waist and tries to
make her own like II. She Is likely to
make herself a lifelong invalid at the
same time.
The young girl should wear shoes
that ft without plnching or rubbing.
Her heels may be either high or low;
some people have their centre OF grav-
ity so adjusted that high heels are
more comfortable for them. French
heels are very bad. High boots should
always be worn In the winter. and they
are better for all the year round for
persons with much walking to do. Hats
should not be so large and heavy a. to
overweight the head.

too tight-ntting, are all sensible
