WhyGrow Old?
By Josephine Lowmon

The history of corSets and
brassieres is fascinating. won-
der if you know that for about
four thousand years women have
been using artificial means to
restrain their figures? About
$500 B. c. women of Crete used
heavy rings for this purpose and
in Egypt the feminine sex wore
q tight narrow band under the
bust to give it support.
In the sixteenth century when
fashion demanded a l3-inch
waist, tightly laced undergar-
mentS were worn. A framework
Of light steel plates, which were
woven over these undergarments
assured q lady that no bulges
would show. BY the eighteenth
century the waist which was
considered beautiful could be
measured with two hands.
Toward the end Of the reign
of George III men and children
were laced as regularly as
women were.
In 1889 q braSSiere which was
called ''le chale" appeared. 1t

at this time that falsies first
appeared. They were dubbed
