WHAT THE CORSET REALLY IS

Any woman would laugh at you If
you asked her the simple question.
What is a corset?" and yet there
are many who do not realize it's wide
field.
1t is interesting to note that the
first corset was garment of health,
being a girdle, worn by the woman
of ancient Greece 5000 years ago for
support in exertion and exercise. This
girdle was gradually changed as
fashions in outer dress changed. and
first stiffened, was soon extended
above and below the waist line until
it attained somewhat the shape of
the corset as we know 1t. AS time
went on the waist line became the
principle feature of the corset, and
preston of the waist, until the ex-
IRENE was reached In a measurement
of thirteen inches by the court ladies
of Catherine de Medici. There are
pictures of these Instruments of tor
ture, and others even worse, made en-
tirely of iron or steel, and then later
on there are corsets to be seen made
of the most costly velvet and satin.
and with the front steels of gold and
silver, elegantly engraved with
poems. and set with jewels. When
these were used the corset was worn
outside the dress, and even as late
as the end of the eighteenth century
in our own land, we read of the
ladies of the colonies wearing the
corset of velvet or silk outside the
dress.
All this goes to show that the cor
set has followed the demands of the
woman of the times, and has been
graceful and healthful in tho begin
ming, when the classic draperies we
still see and admire in statues and
other works of art were the ideal, and
deteriorated into a mere instrument
of compression when woman's dress
became exaggerated and inartistic.
The corset came to stay, from the
first moment that its wearer discov-
cred that it improved her appearance,
and the corset of today is as typical
of the woman who wears it as it was
in the beginning, and in its best and

women, and fit with ideal ease and
comfort.
The first supple Poise" corsets
made we're all of plant material,
and were soon found to yield too
much to be practical for the majority
of figures, which require at least a
gentle support over the abdomen, and
in the back Paris tells US it is "the
thing" to look so extremely I'M
corseted that the figure is unwoman-
ly in its curves, but the women OF
America have unhesitatingly turned
down this decree. and demanded firm
lines, though they have retained the
supple and unboned effect To meet
this dual call there are corsets made
with the front and back sections in
the regular boned construction, but
with a wide side section of seamless,
unboned material that allows perfect
pliancy and freedom and gives the
''uncorseted effect in a practical and
reliable corset.
Outside of the Supple Poise corsets
there are many new effects to be es-
pecially noted in the insert" models.
These are regular corsets. in the va
rious desired shapes and styles. which
have inserted pieces of wide strong
elastic made in with the corset, CIV
ing figure control with perfect free
dom of motion
Front lace corsets are also very
much favored. and are shown in the
regular solid materials and also in
the inserted side sections spoken of.
Outside of the regular known cor
set models which are designed TO
give better figure to the wearer,
there are also some of the most
interesting and important models of
all in the surgical and dress-surgical
styles. Doctors are everywhere grow
ing to indorse the use of a correctly
made and fitted corset instead Of the
old-time clumsy surgical bandages
indeed. it is found to be more sat
isfactory to have the surgical belt
attached to the corset Though work
ing entirely independently of it, than
to have it separate. as in the old
style. as it is firmly anchored and
cannot shift or ride up.
One of the most important uses of
this line of models is in the possibili-
ties it affords of supporting and per-
manently curing a relaxed or over

edges. but binding of braid is to be
much used this season and is exceed
ingly handsome on cloth as on other
suitings. Made with straight front
edges and with either plain or belted
back, the coat becomes slightly more
practical, but there Is distinction
and a fascination in the cutaway
fronts that render them desirable.
The coats of the fall are really fasci-
mating. They are simple in general
effect, yet they show great many
little touches that are exceedingly
smart and even distinctive. The Sec
ond coat includes back that is cut
in two sections and these sections are
Joined to give the high waist effect.
In one view there are tab-like ex-
tensions on the side portions, and in
the other they are left plain. and
either finish is correct. The vest
makes an important feature. too. It
is found on the handsomest models of
the spring and 1t gives just the little
touch of contrasting material that is
Newark evening star and Newark advertiser. [volume] (Newark, N.J.) 1909-1916, 1913-09-20

THE newest coats give evidence of
the directore influence and
show these high rolled-over col
lars and deep cuffs. This one Is ex-
ceedingly smart and can be made with
either cutaway or straight fronts, with
either plain or belted back, but the
plain back and cutaway fronts mean
the greater distinction. Coats of this
kind will be made with skirts to
match and of contrasting material in
equal numbers. Plain cloth with
striped or checked is promised great
vogue. For the early season, coats of
silk will be worn over wool material.
The lines are the smartest possible
and the coat eminently chico while by
no means difficult to make. There are
shoulder darts In the front that give
roundness to the bust and only
shoulder and under-arm seams are
needed. The collar requires merely
an interlining of good quality canvas
to make it a success. This coat is
made Of broadcloth with only stitched

heavy abdomen. The dress surgical
corset is not only an immediate and
healthful relief to the woman who is
weak or in need of support to the
abdominal muscles, but it gives her
the womanly grace and improved fig
ure lines that are her due. and that
can be attained in no other way.
One might go on almost indefinitely
and speak of new and effective mod
els, but. after all, to speak of. one is
to speak Of all, for they all are made
from the one principle-the fitting OF
the figure to the corset that It should
have to bring out good points and cure
defects, through the improvement of
health and comfort. No one looks
well. or attains the best results in
figure lines and poise unless the cor
set fits correctly. And what can be
done through the proper model would
be a revelation to many women, for
anyone not physically deformed can
have at least good figure.

squeezed out of proportion. You
cannot reduce the figure In model
that is too small
Acting on these same principles of
the application of corset designs di-
rectly upon the figure points which
require correction or development, the
entire line of corset models of today
are each and every one made to at
tain some definite result, and there
is not anything one can think of in
figure requirements that is not to be
found in the regular corset models.
Perhaps the most talked of line of
corsets is the Supple Poise" or I'M
corseted effects, and these are really
worthy of all that can be said of
them, for they are all things to all

generous opportunity offered for the
exercise of taste and discretion.
The next figure shows a coat with
the fronts buttoned over while the
collar is turned down over the shoul-
ders.. It can also be made up in
directoire style, as shawn in the small
view underneath. The means by which
the changes can be produced are very
simple. but the two effects, neverthe-
less, are distinctly different. In the
illustration serge Is made with velvet
trimming. Goats of this kind are

could be obtained by the use Of Bull

be made from one of the Oriental en-
broideries that can be bought by the
strip and are always so beautiful. For

suggest itself Immediately, for it is
to be much worn, but there are silk

as well as the simpler materials Con-
trasts as well as entire costumes are
in vogue and the coat made of velvet
for wear over silk or wool skirt
would be handsome. Seams that ex-
tend to the shoulders give slender be-
coming lines and the sleeves are the
new ones without fullness at the
shoulders.
This short. jaunty coat is charming.

back which are to be found in the
very smartest models. The back can
be either square, round or pointed. It

would be difficult to find any prettier,
more jaunty or more satisfactory gar
ment of the kind The fronts are fit
ted with wide darts, which are novel.
and over these darts is arranged trim
ming. The slightly open cuffs make
an important feature. Such coats are
made of material to match the skirt
and also of contrasting material. and
all sorts of pretty silks. poplin and
materials of the kind are liked for
the latter use. Brocaded or broche
material worn over a plain gown
makes an exceedingly good effect.

over different materials.
The single-breasted coat, with cut
away fronts and longer back, is very
smart one. eminently attractive and
generally becoming. Here Is model
that can be made in that way or with
straight fronts and which is adapted
to all the seasonable suitings. The
model can be used for velvet to be
adapted to more dressy occasions, and
it can be used for all the handsomer

Fall Boots High

The high boot will be a favorite for
fall wear, according to the New
Haven Journal-Courier. They will
have uppers which contrast with the
gown. These shoes are all of the
twelve-button variety, and one, for
example, has the quarter and vamp
in dark russell calf, and the upper
part in a lighter shade of brown
suede. For those who favor gray
there is boot with a quarter vamp
and French heel in patent leather and
the upper in gray silk and the butt
tons of white pearl.

for the improvement of woman's
figure lines and poise. but it must be
noted that it differs from the corset
of even a few years ago in attaining
this result through the medium of
health and comfort, and that every
line of its design and every effect of
its construction is in accord with the
natural working of the body. This

What Is a Corsets
Perhaps when we think of all that
it has gone through to attain its pres

what an up-to-date corset really is,
and what 1t can do for health, beauty
and comfort.

The heelless slipper is making its
appearance for dancing, says the Chi
cago Journal. It has a round toe and
is held in place by means of ribbons
which run through eyelets that are
placed along the edges.

against nature, cramping the ribs and
lungs, and squeezing the waist.
1t is necessary to keep in mind
the fact of this accord with the natu-
raj poise and functions of the body
IL we would understand how some
women attain the easy "uncorseted
effect" which we all desire.
This effect is rather misleading in
name. for the corset has never been
so indispensable as it is in this So
called "uncorseted effect" and though
it is easy of attainment If the corset
is correctly fitted and correctly worn,
1t Is equally impossible to attain If
the rules are disregarded.
Fashion today calls for a large
waist and lines without a ridge or
the showing of superfluous flesh down
to the knee, and not only the fashion,
able. but every woman who takes
pride in her appearance realizes the
importance of the lines underneath
the present close dress, and, whether
she aspires to the extreme straight
"stovepipe" effect or merely to
shapely lines In womanly firmness,
she is interested in how to attain the
desired effect.
The first and indispensable item in
the Improvement of the figure and
the attainment of any sort of grace
or style in line or poise is the selec-
ton of a corset that is large enough.
If 1t were possible to demonstrate
this on the models of the ftting-room,
every woman would be convinced by
the actual sight of a model of the
right size reducing the figure from
two to three inches more than a
model that is too small Every line
and piece of corset is designed to
do something to the figure, and 1t
does something. If it is In the place
the designer intended it to be it will
do what he intended it to do, and if
it is not. 1t will do something that
neither he nor the wearer intends nor
wants, and will spoil the figure lines
and poise. This has always been true
of the corset. but it is especially to
be noted in the present large-waisted
models, for with the waist larger in
proportion, the hips and abdomen are
so much smaller that a corset too
tight must ride up and give an ugly
and uncomfortable effect. You can
make figure look pretty much as
you want in the proper corset, and
especially the stout figure, can be
so heightened and the flesh so even
ly disposed, and then it looks much
more slender without losing an ounce
in weight. Every inch that is added
between the waistline and the bust
in front reduces the abdomen and
the appearance of the entire figure,
and that is why a corset that is too
small sets right on top of the abb
domen and hips instead of falling
into it's natural place at the waist
line,s and gives the pushed forward
and upward abdomen, which makes
even a medium figure look fat

No More "Fat. Women.

The day has come in corseting
when the fat" woman is quite I'M

NEW YORK BANKS
 HAVE BEEN TYRAN NlCAL.
Connecticut Bankers Association De- cIines to Accept Their Clearing House Proposition.

Ever since the days of the Revo- lutionary war the everlasting tyranny that New York banks hold over their correspondents, especially in New England, has been felt to the disad- vantage of Connecticut bankers. We have thought that every time a New ' ork banker whistles we have got to sneeze and roll over.' said Meigs H. Whapies of the Connecticut Trust and Safe Deposit company at an important special meeting of the Connecticut Bankers association held at Hartford Tuesday.
 The meeting was called especially to hear the report of the inland ex- change committee on the proposition of the New York clearing house to accede to the request of Connecticut bankers to remove the New York clearing house charge of onetenth of one per cent. for the collection Of Connecticut checks and to place on a discretionary list with the New York banks the Connecticut banks which shall agree in writing to remit at par in New York funds immediately to the different New York banks the items called for.
 President c. Leslie Hopkins of this city called the meeting to order and presided. The outcome of the meeting after considerable discussion was the adoption of a resolution opposed to the New York clearing house plan.
