Are You Well COrseted?

Miss Walker has her own shop in
which corsets are handled exclu-
sively Her specially. however. is
making hospital fittings. She makes
a daily trip to the various hospitals
Of the city whore she visits conva-
lescent patients and fits them cor
rectly.
"No matter how slender the
woman. she should never lace her
corsets with less than two laces.
One should extend from the top to
about an inch below the waist line.
A second lace should be used over
the hips.
VERY stout women would be wise
to use three laces. Tho top one
should extend TO about two inches
above the waist line. Another should
extend from the bottom 20 about two
inches below the waist line and a
third should be right at the waist
Thus a corset can be comfortably
adjusted.
The corset" says Miss Walker
should be pulled we'll down IN place
before It is adjusted and should b,
readjusted every day for even yer,

zone OF the greatest mistakes OF
the slender woman Is that she be
