The Spirella Co., Inc, the largest manu-
facturers of tailor-made corsets, is organizing
Washington so as to give the same professional

great international expositions for the past three
years. She has the distinction of being awarded
The Royal Appointment to the Queen and Royal
Court of Spain.

the blue Riband' of the medical world. This is
the first time this honor has been bestowed on any
corset.

and advancement. The women selected must be
refined and educated. They will be thoroughly
trained.
