take the curve of the bust and give
It some support. Some of the new
models have little or no bonlng over
the hips and these are especially suit
able for slender figures. AT the top
of these models the bones are so ar
ranged as to further support the bust
without r.gidity.
Hip cOntiners are almost necessity
In these days of close fitting skirts
and gown. They are made of wide
rubber sections over the hips, which
give with the movement of the wear

The new low bust corsets are much
liked by womankind. and when sup
plemented by well made brassiere

the popularity Of these useful little
garments Is greatly increased and
rapidly growing, and in the shops one
finds as much space given to the dis
play of brassieres as to corsets them
selves.

ft is a good plan to have a regular

20 much more in this way and besides
establishes kind of intellectual habit

hour or even half an hour given regu-
