COrsets

Speaking of stout women, Lillian
Russell says:
"A good figure may be nodded by per-
fectly fitting corset. The fat will first be
pushed aside then disappear altogether, if
the corset is worn steadily. Corsets are an
absolute necessity to womanhood. No
woman can look decent without a corset,
except an athlete. Stout women know what
a boon corsets are, yet nothing is more
distressing than a badly fitting corset or
one that is too tightly laced.
What is more unlovely to look at than
a woman VINO is so tightly harnessed up
that she is unable to lean back in a chair
or automobile?
