Energetic debutantes and suffering ma

I'VE just had 10 do II" said ID. II. Fan
ming. Of the Royal Worcester Manufactur-
ing Company. yesterday afternoon at the
new corset salon. No. 50 West cath street
"The women found they simply couldn
tango at all in the old corsets, which were
so stim and tight. or course. the best
tango corset is no corset at all, but most
women look better with something OF
the sort on. YOU know. so we set TO work

nothing-only better. We have had the
models demonstrated at our workrooms
and we know that they are perfectly com

The tango isn't TO blame really for the
increased size Of the new cOrsets, though
OF course. to dance these new dances a
woman must wear looser garments than
she used 10. IL is the fashion makers who
have decreed that madame's figure shall
be straight as a barrel and have brought
about the horrifying circumstances that
the average waist measure is now %

problem. How TO be slim, though fat.
The average woman to-day looks much
thinner than she did a year or two ago.
said Mr.. Tanning. We just remind her
of that when she objects To wearing a
corset three sizes larger than she used
to"
Mr. Tanning has been making corsets
for ffty-four years. and the 1914 figure,
he says, is the most graceful and beauti-
ful he has ever known That is because
it more nearly approaches the lines Of
nature. one of the new models indeed
is called the mature pOise.' Other in
ventions of the season are the invisible
buckle, designed not to mar the beauty
Of the most diaphanous tango frock' and
the thigh diminishing strap All these
and many other marvels were on eXhibi-
ton yesterday afternoon at the corset
congress, which is being held in the new
Salon du Bon Ton.

ANTS LIKE NERO,
SAYS MRS. GAIT
They Fiddle in Face OF Burning
Question of Day-"General"
Jones's Laurels Disputed.
fBy Telegraph to The Tribunsl

Albany. Jan. 20.-After replying 70 the
most potent arguments OF the ai.ti-suhra-
gists Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait, at
crowded mass meeting in the Assembly
Chamber tonight, said that the efforts OF
the "antis" 10 deprive their sisters OF the
vote reminded her OF Nero fiddling while
Rome burnt.
Every step forward that has been made
in the betterment Of the condition OF
women" she said, has met Just such
opposition. 10 is actuated by ignorance,
prejudice and superstition. and now
pray that the Hight Of reason be needed
when voting on the woman suffrage
amendment 10 the Constitution in 1915.
The question 10 be decided then is not
merely whether New York State is going
TO give women the vote. but whether
this state is going to keep abreast Of the
rest Of the world
Mrs. Gait said she demanded the vote
I'm the name Of eight million women, and
added.
Women may not make a better gov
eminent than the men. but they VIII
make a juster government for the wom-
en- and children for we know them bet
ter"
The meeting was part OF the statewide
campaign Of education being conducted
under the direction Of Mrs. Gait in the in
terest Of the vote on the woman suffrage
amendment in 1915. The meetings, which
began I'm this city yesterday, are under
the auspices Of the Albany Equal Suf-
frage Union.
II is a mooted question tonight whether
the band Of suffragists who walked here
from New York recently or some one else
should have credit for sympathy among
legislators for bill providing for women
watchers at the polls that was introduced
in the Senate to-day by Senator Foley.
The Foley bill Is practically OF the sort
that General Resale Jones and her
band OF ten wanted TO impress on legisla-
tors and the Governor was needed, and
they walked here to do it. But Mrs. Har-
riot Stanton Batch and other members
Of the Women's Political Union and Wom-
ems Watchers Committee, who did not
march announced that the general" and
her followers had nothing to do with 1t.
