In days of old the clinging vine
Was highest type Of femme.
And she who was the winning maid
Was, she who was demurely staid.
Today though styles have changed
apace
Anent the fair sex Of the race
Yet still the highest court is paid
To her who is correctly stayed"
New York, Oct 10.-The newest cor
sets spell woe to the lady Of generous
embonpoint. Her nearest approach to
a fashionable figure will be swell
one. The new models are so low of
bust as to come scarcely above the
waist line. The fewest possible bones
are used and the material of the cor
set is thin and pliable To be sure
they look as though what has been cut
off above the waist line has been tack
ed on below so far down past the
hips do they come, but fortunately in.
sets of elastic in the sides and back
make it possible for the wearer to as
sumo sitting posture and saves her
the embarrassment of being forced to
take her meal off the mantle piece. The
front laced corset is being shown in
many models and is great favorite
not only besause it is easier to adjust
and more comfortable to wear but be-
cause it actually tends to reduce too
generously chubby "tummy."
Tricot is the ideal fabric for the
flexible corset Of 1918 especially for
evening wear Indeed the smart woman
whose purse is as well filled as her
26 stays has different corsets adopted
for different needs. One or silk tricot
lightly boned serves her beautifully for
dress and evening wear while q heavier
silk broche boned trifle more strong
ly offers her ample support for street
wear.
Certainly the new stay ought to be
here to stay for it is boon from n
hygienic standpoint. The days when
we squeezed up our waists like q Chin
esewoman did her feet are relegated to
barbarous past.
But while Iona clasps the new stays
to her beagre bosom with unbounded
bliss Fatima can but mourn for alas
Fashions mandate has gone forth that
she may not even have brassiere to
sustain her.
