II 12 straight front corset has coino
to stay. It will never go. This
is Ihu text of what Miss Klizu
both A. O. W hile, president of
tho liesmakcrs' Protective as
sociation of America, tried to impress on
the (100 delegates to the convention helJ in
Masonic temple, Chicago. ,-lt is hygienic,
it is healthful, it li hcaulif ill," explains
Miss White. These straight fronts," she
continued, "uro to he improvi d in cer
tain ways, lie sure, but it will be the same
straight front. All this talk In the papers
about their going out of style is wrong."
Miss White is not a little woman, iind
when she stamped her foot on the floor to
emphasize hei last word in this rcntmre
Boir.o of the ono-legged mod. lis nearby
nearly toppled over.
"Why, It Is ridiculous the way some wo
men dreys," she went c n. "Notice th it
middle-aged woman in the corner who cer
tainly hud a shape like an old-fashioned
churn.
"Now," said Miss White, seriously, "If
She would only wear a straight front cor
set with the improvement we aie recom
mending she could appear as charming a.s
that Uiuutlful young blonde by the table."
The new feature w hich is to be udd d to
tho straight front is to double line It with
rulfles u round the breast, thus making tha
lll-looklns comely and the thin plump. It
tho corset can bo laced as tightly as do
el. ed, actoidins to Mifs White, If only tho
belt lin; cf the victim be below the floating
ritw. Of course, a woman witii a conspicu
ous circumference will have to put a mili
tary extension on the upj er arm und shoul
der of her gown, thus making the propor
tions right.
Miss White told the dressmakers what a
transformation could be accomplished by
menus of Innumerable little tucks taken In
the lining of a womnn's gown. Pile p.lso
warned her flock against tho unpaidunable.
but popular error of giving a woman too
arrow a back.
"Formerly." said Miss White, wo
men cut of 1.010 had no diaphragms at n!,
r If they did no one knew It. Now fnttr
indies' difference miiit bo made in tbo lin
tng of a gown because "of the cVarg.- of
Shape. Most dressmakers look nt a wo
man's front, but thry oon't look at b r
tmefc. Likely a.s not tin y'll cut cut tho
tiaek tir.d make the s!coe fit, fird then
what happens? Why, n woman meanderj

what is the mattpr with her. Yuu think
she mtirt bo hunchbacked. stooji-Fiioj'.i'errd

A strange rule among the el.ins Is that

The children belong to tho clan cf the
mother. They not only call her mother, but
they call all her si-tors molIiT, nod II. i y
