 CORsErS
 Whether you are slender CT stout, your corset should fit comfortably The aim of the fashionable corset IS to reveal good lines and conceal or correct poor ones.
 Infinitely more easy to wear are present-day low corscts tlan those with wasp-likc waists and iron-c,ad hips of by-gone days. Though tie corsets show slight curve at the waist, it will be a long time before VIC again adopt styles which will interfere with our health.
 The natural figure IS not waistlcss and lipless-the corset should curve to just the extent that the correctly formed woman is curved, and give .healthfuI support
 The waistline is normal, the back straight, the hips small, but tire new

models are trihe higher busted. Tops measuring up to five inches are noted, some with elastic gores inserted to give more room for breathing.
 Inexpensive laced-in-front models are more universally worn than heretofore. Strong, pliable materials, which need but few well-placed bones form the latest models. Suede, tricot, brocades, coutil, batiste and elastic webbing are mostly desired. Pink and lowered designs are introduced into corset fabrics
 Brassiers have become almost indis- pensable as a corset adjunct. Partiality is given to models hooking up the cen ter-front. There are soft open-work brassiers designed especially for wear with transparent waists Brassiers of lace or embroidery lined with hesh-col- ored net have the same colored net shields and embroidery Silk tricot, or linen and cluny lace brassiers, or soft, loose c1msoles, cut kimona shape and, made with an elastic band at the waist line, arc richly ornamented with lace and embroidery and included amongst the Gainty irtimacies of underdress

 For use as a niglt dress, or a neg.igee, are Egyptian crepe slips with a band of lace at the neck. The bccomingncss of the surplice IS very evident in these gowns. Wide Lorisinc ribbon is run through eyelets at the waist and fastened with bow
 In the adjustment Of the bow, all sorts of Frcnclv ideas are noticed.

 RELAXATION ROBES Neeligces represent an interesting problem. One can by means of careful planning evolve wonderful results. The woman who makes her own boudoir robes knows that q discarded silk dress with some chiffon and lace can be changed into a fascinating negligee. Tie coatecs of lace or chiffon worn over accordion pleatcd slips, are an excellent suggestion, for one little coat can dc service for several slips.
 Beautiful house dresses of embroid- cred Japanese crepe are made with pan niers and low waistlines and decorated with silk tassels and colored stone orna- ments.
 Silk, challis, albatross, quilted silk and crepe negligees are made along simple lines. and every well-groomed woman has one or more, for she pays as much attention to her indoor attire as to tn outdoor dresses.
