At that time they invented corsets

drawn and tightly tied together.
These corsets often reached from the
shoulders down to the thighs. We
therefore see how near they came
to the modern corset.

TT was for long time held that
the corset originated at the
courts OF Italian princes. but as
a matter of fact stays had al
ready been known in antiquity. The
Russian historian of civilization,
Nine. Syebinoff. adduces in the
Moskwa Trudi some interesting evil
dence to this effect.
Alciphron. the Greek epistologra-
pher. who lived in the second CEN
tsry A. D.. in his satirical hetaerae
letters, ridcules the fashionable
ladies who had themselves by night
so tightly swathed in wet clothes
that they could hardly breathe.
By day the ladies wore linen belts
that were strained around the hips,
in order to produce a wasplike waist.
The physician, Galen (about 100
A. d.. had in Pergamum frequent
of lacing; even distortions Of the
spine and bone fractures he could
ascribe to such pressure of the hips.
They all now fain would be SLIM"
laments Terence (born about ls5
b. c. in one of his comedies; "and
neither hips nor breasts have the
women. for they are wrapt up in
linen from head to heel Three
grapes and glass of water is all
really happens to come along lusty
female figure then the chorus OF
women will Immediately shrek: 'Lo.
the huge woman; she looks like an
athlete. And body she has as an
elephant calf. She'll one day wrestle
in the arena. the fat bug"
In imperial Rome lacing became a
