M Whether we be fat and short or tall and lean; mm we'll strive for the sinuous curves. Though we I fif measure. 28, 30, 40, or 50 around the waist, the I ml .I ephemeral line will be our ambition. I Jinl Perhaps we'll make the line and perhaps we W won't. But one thing is sure if Dame Fashion wSnl decrees a smaller wajst line we're going to make WM strenuous efforts to have it, even at the sacrilicp M$ 1 of health for some of us. Jjfi Too bad more of us aren't endowed with that jy SI; blessed sixth sense the sense of a happy medi- js : um. Then ever' man would agree on the woman I' j voting problem. And we wouldn't furnish so much fun for stage and jokestcrs generally. We wouldn't wear outlandishly high heeled shoes or tji nigh knee skirts and open necks in zero time. , .flp And we would be in no danger whatever from lull' m 1 1r, this latest edict of the ruling lady. hjj! We would buy a corset along the new lines jj if we wanted to. But we would buy it large 'ffiSli; enough so that no compression of chest or lungs Ial' or abdomen results. And when we adjusted it. !i on us we would not pull the springs so tight as to 51'1 ' interfere with our breathing apparatus. II ; We don't have to interpret this new corset edict as a return to the "sad old days" when hos- 3 JJf ' pitals were filled with women patients with bad- ffij ly functioning organs as the result of the hour iij glass waist line. ! There is the happy medium which may be ap- i phed either by wearing a corset just curved ; enough to lit comfortably into the figure or by having your dresses draped and built out so as ! to give the slender waist line effect. I Please, whatever else you do, don't be foolish enough to try to cram a twenty-eight inch waist ! into an eighteen-inch waist line. Besides the in- j jurious effect on your internal organs it is a dis- : trcssing looking picture.

It jM ;' is a ridiculously silly sense of vanity 5fc Ijjj1 that will influence a woman to ask for Cjj II : a 22 corset when her waist measures I ' 30- Vanity being a very large percentage of all of - 1 15 ' , us, we cannot afford to be hard on the rest of us. II i BuL we can agree that vanity, should not be en- '; couraged to the point of health discomfort. Let jjjjJl V usj therefore, not be guilty of silly vanity about Sjjf. corset buying. ffl. First have your corset comfortable. If you ii buy one that is tight around the waist line and In' thighs, you restrict your circulation and, inci- ffli dentally, shorten the life of the corset. In a H short time it will be out of shape. A pretty good rule to follow in buying a cor- II, ' feCtJs to get it three inches smaller than your I II" waist measure if your hips are slender. If your IS ps arc large get your corset tw,o inches smaller Si' than your waist measure. II By the constriction of the lower part of the If thorax the action of the diaphragm is greatly II impaired. This not only interferes with its II respiratory function but with digestion as 'well, II sincc by the active contraction of the diaphragm III in inspiration it presses down the liver and other II abdominal contents and produces a powerful U massage of the organs which aid in the digestion of food and in the unloading of the bowels, and jB at the same time the pelvic circulation is inter-H inter-H fered with and pelvic congestion is favored.
