There is nothing terrible about a
rolled-down stocking-most of our

enough to dispense with corsets which

you will find rolled-down stockings de-

Women who have adopted the style
but who cannot dispense with securely
pulled-down corsets have taken TO

to this knee-band. Can you imagine
anything more uncomfortable than

elastic may be worn around the leg
and the stocking rolled over the garter,
but a tight elastic band around the
calf of the leg is almost painfully un-

Corset Preserves Figure Lines
Most doctors are in favor of corsets
nowadays, since corsets have been
scientifically constructed to support
and help the figure and are no longer
intended merely to give lines of fash
ion. The graceful girdle corset Of
today, worn with a brassiere that
holds the bust firmly, preserves the
natural beauty of the figure and gives
a trimness of effect that cannot be-
achieved when several garments are
donned over the corsetless figure. A
corset of any kind makes its wearer
remember to hold herself with more
formality and correctness; without
any corset at all most women would
sooner or later fall into the slump
ing habit and lose what lines they
had. And most figures uncorseted
would look anything bat trim and
vraceful--and smart-under modern
costume.

There are moments when she reiaxes

Modern Clothes Designed To Give
CorsaflcsS Effect

In none Of the Illustrations of in
door and outdoor costume is the corset
evident. These frocks and the sport
suit are appropriate for any age OF
fem notwithstanding to fashion now
but only very young girl, slim and
firm of muscles could wear such cos
tunes absolutely without corset sup
port. Modern clothes are built to sug-
gest natural figure lines, but the fig
ure lines must approach as near as
possible natural perfection before the
clothes are donned; and this effect in
most cases can only be achieved by
the wearing of a flexible, cleverly cut
corset of absolute suppleness and
con fort. Not forgetting the indispens-
able brassiere which holds the flesh
above the corset in firm, trim lines.
Two illustrations show the perfect
corset in standing and sitting posi-
tons. The wearer of this corset. in
her frock or tailored suit would have
perfectly natural figure lines and
would seem to be wearing no corset
at ell.

Can You Lounge In Your Corset? If Not 1t Is Not the
Right Corset for YOu-Physicans Assert Some
Support Is Best for Feminine Figure inactive
Exerci5e-Riqht Corset Never Evident

straight from neck to hips! Here is a
better way: Rest easily on your feet,
and instead of throwing back
shoulders and hips. just draw the
chest up and lift the chin little.
This naturally throws the shoulders
back and lifts the torso-keeps it
from slumping down into the corset
which always makes a heavy waist
line in time and the line of the back
will remain straight below the waist
line and not have that ugly, matronly
curve which thrown back hips always
give.
A friend meets you on the street
and exclaims: How well you look,
my dear!" Quite involuntarily you
draw UP and take the correct position,
chest lifted a bit and the muscles
around the waist supporting the torso.
See to it that you keep that position
grow in the habit of holding it-and
do not slump back into your corset
the moment your friend has passed
on. The naturally perfect figure that
has less need of corsets has these
strong, supple waist muscles. In youth
they are almost always firm and sup
pie, but in later years woman allows
her corset to do the work of holding
up, and more and more she slumps
down upon--or into--her corset and
the waist muscles become flabby from
want OF use. If the figure is inclined
to be fat, the fat will settle around
these useless waist muscles and the
waistline will grow gradually heavier
and more ungainly.
Exercise VIII Aid A Good Corset
So, no matter how beautifully your
corset fits, keep your waistline trim
and strong with simple exercises and
by that much will you ward off the
appearance of advancing years.
The first exercise is the exercise of
