IF YOU WOULD HAVE A
COMFORTABLE CORSET

EVERYBODY knows that the uncor-
seted figure is the most fashion,
able figure Of the day. The woman
who dares has already appeared at
public functions without the restraint
Of steel and bone. The woman who
can thus mock at the contrivance OF
science is indeed fortunate. Long may
she glory in her possession!
Comparatively few mondaines are so
blessed, and the great majority must
therefore turn to that blessed substi-
tute, the corset, which will most nearly
reproduce the human figure and lend
the effect Of the uncorseted figure. The
material that has proved itself most
available for this purpose is tricot, a
sort Of knitted cotton. When this ma
terial was first used for corsets the
stays were very expensive Today they
are within the reach Of most purses,
selling for from 50 up.
This tricot Is q remarkably firm fab
ric, yet possessing sufficient elasticity
to give with every bend of the body.
That 1t is comfortable goes without
further explanation.
There are various styles of these
corsets-some have the low busts, 9TH
ers the medium. To get the perfect
uncorseted effect It is best to adopt
the low bust corset and to wear with
IT brassiere. The brassiere, by the
way, is often made of the tricot. This
gives nothing above the waist but the
very slight extension Of the corset,
practically only girdle. Below the
waist the flesh Is firmly restrained as
far as the knees, II so desired. One Of
the newest models this year has the
extension Of the tricot to the knees.
No danger with this corset Of showing
any break in the line Of the corset at
the bottom, which often ruins the eff
feet Of q snug fitting dress. As this
material clings snugly to the figure
there Is none Of the tightly corseted
feeling often 50 uncomfortable in the
long stays which have been the joke Of
the papers.
The comfort Of these tricot corsets Is
they have practically no bones. One Of
the most popular models has only
bones IN the front, the necessary stays
to hold the fastenings and two or three
In the back. over the hips there isl
only the tricot, stretched like the skin
from the front to the back. Some wp-
men prefer boning over the hips. 1t is
really only matter Of personal choice.
When the tricot corsets were first
made they were thought to be entirely
INADEQUATE to the needs of the stout
woman, but today the tricot corset is
successfully worn in all sizes.
For those who cannot rely upon ma
tlre to carry out the Partisan verdict
Of no corsets the tricot affair can be
relied upon to give the effect of the
uncorseted figure. In pretty pinks and
blues it takes on a decidedly bridelike
appearance, the bones, the few used. |

FRENCH FASHION
NOTES FROM EL0iSE

PARIS, Dec 5.-The tearooms OF
Paris are the signboards of the times;
their emptiness or fullnesS determines
by whom the city is peopled. The
orcheStras play exquisite music while
groups of lovely women glide in and
out again to visit another tearoom,
where mare smart acquaintance are
chatting over their teacups.
One of this seasons debutantes
wore a most unusual frock of black
cashmere at the Ritz tearoom yester-
day. The waist line was rather high
and defined by a band of satin ar
ranged in a flat bow at the back.
When she entered the trained skirt
was Topped up into a drapery. which
she undid, allowing it to fall free.
Whether caught up or trailing, the
gown was equally becoming. A felt
beaver hat, with white aigrettes point
ing in opposite directions, and
broad stole of ermine completed this
costume.
Another smart toilette noticed was
fashioned of deep violet charmeuse
simply drapPd and with a black waist
belt winch hung in two flat ends at
the side. A hat of violet velvet with
black aigrettes and a collar of rare
old lace trimmed with fur were worn.
Black suede gloves stitched with
violet, and black suede shoes with
violet buttons, made this costume very

THE IDEAL FIGURE

| The surprising fact has been pro-
| claimed to the modern woman that
her figure more closely resembles the
I classical ideal than has been the case
for many generations past and that
she has tn corset maker to thank for
the fact And she is amazed at the
audacity of the corset maker for she
knows he only does as he is bid, and
he is now hidden to retain her perfect
figure and not make it.
Where is the perfect rigure to be
, found, after all?
Is it the ideal of the sculptor as
shown by the Venus Of Milo? Is it the
plump ladies found in Rubehs' paint
! ings? Did GainsbOrough or Reynolds
discover it, or is it possessed by the
modern women pictured by Shannon
or Sargent? Or is it, again, the ideal
figure from the doctors point of view,
perfectly healthy, we'll set up, the
shoulders held well back, the back

this last is the perfect figure of to-
day. The ideal of the sculptor is a
