A corset for every gOWn-tlhS 10 -
extravagant dictum of fashion when ohly
q comparatively few of her satelltes VIII
heed. But II is a fact that instead oil TWO
nsirs Of corsets-one for daytime and the
other for evening-the well dressed woman
of to-day requires at least fVe or SIN uil-
ferent kinds. She must have PAIR loi

and a sixth to wear when she Is reVeliils

a conservative estimate; TO many wei
dressed women il would seem meagre.

buiIt from a firmer material than the
others. probably from coutil or brocaded
fabric. And Il will be more heavily boned,
though boning in all corsets has been ie-
duced 10 a minimum. Few women, at
any rate the large Amazon-like American
women. can wear corsets without any
homes under their suit Jackets TO be
sure the street coats of to-day are loose
and baggy, more like blouses than outer
garments, but there are traces or talioie cd
lines. A tailored jacket demands trlm'
trie figure. and few indeed are the women
who possess bodies sufficiently well built
and with firm enough flesh 10 discard en-

The bust line is likely to be cut a httle
higher in this than in the other corsets'
though few corsets extend more than four
inches above the waist line. while the
majority rise scarcely higher than two.
The corset worn with the afternoon
frocks will probably be fashioned from

There is very little difference between
this corset and the corset worn uhde'
