WASP WAIST CONTESTS.

Curious Course Of Training In Old
Time Girls Schools.
A letter recently unearthed from a
trunk shows that in the sixties of the
last century principals Of girls schools
thought they were fitting the girls for
society by urging them to retain small
waists Accordingly they offered
prizes 10 the girls having the smallest
waists. The girls were put through a
course of training for reducing their
waist measure. The conditions Of the
contest were that the corset should
not be removed on retiring at night
and that each pupil must be inspected
every morning to make sure she had
not loosensd Der corset One Of the
persons who engaged In the contest
afterward wrote OF If:
Some Of Us tried hard to b per
mttted TO retire from the contest, but
we were rebuked for Stultifying our
selves and accused Of making fools o.
our principals. On the follow1nE
morning the undergoverness, with he
maid. came as usual 10 supertntenC
the toilets. and after satisfying her
self that each lace was drawn IN u
the utmost she fastened it in q kno
at the top and, passing the end!
through a piece Of card, placed he
own seal on them so that any attemp
to loosen the corset during the nigh
might be infaIhbly detected In tn
