Largs Waists.

The Venus of Milo dressed In Parisian modes might pass muster now; thirty inches Is none too big now for a waist. Paris made the law and every one followed it Joyously; even the stays, pull as you may, will not give you a small waist It Is even rumored that Trench women pad the front of the figure to cause It to appear straight but the one desideratum is to keep the hips to the straight line. Catherine de Medici, when she introduced the bone corset, made thirteen Inches the right else for the waist and many a woman at court sacrificed her life to attain It There Is no necessity to have long bones to keep In the hips; coutll or brocade may be cut so as to confine the dimensions. Digestive organs are now left tall and easy play. ,
