Anti-Corset Legislation Advocated —Society Incorporated. By hlldora Field “.... shall not be manfactured, sold or transported into the State of Indiana; and every person who sliall knowingly manufacture, sell or transport ... .shall for each offense be fined upon conviction not more than fine hundred dollars ($500) or imprisoned not more than one year.” No, this is not an excerpt from the Volstead act, and it doesn't refer to the transporting of liquor. It's passage from the anti-corset bill which Mrs. Anna 11. Lee, 539 Massachusetts Ave., founder of the AntiCorset Society, will attempt to introduce into the Legislature at the next session. Mrs. Lee, an advocate of freedom in women’s dress, is 65 years old. A picture of her wearing an oldfashioned corset, with long skirt, and a picture taken the same day, with modern feminine dress, illustrate the difference in appearance.

What a Difference "And, oh, what a difference in health and spirits,” she commented. Mrs. Lee began her "anti-corset'' fight which later grew into an antilong skirt and anti-long hair crusade. in 1909. In 1917. she took the matter to Congress, but learning Federal action could not l>e taken without amendment, of the Constitution, she submitted her bill to the Indiana Legislature. The bill did not pass, but Mrs. Ix>e was not discouraged. She incorpo rated her society to further dress emancipation of women. "Now that women are dressing in such an unrestricted manner what more is there to do In this direction?" Mrs. Lee was asked. The little woman was quick with an answer. "Now is the time for alertness because there is on foot a nation-wide crusade to take woman's freedom from her in the matter of clothes,” she said, and hinted that corset manufacturers are behind the movement, working through socially and politically prominent women. Sent Out I letters Mrs. Lee sent out 2,000 letters to physicians, asking their advocacy

of her “anti-corset” bill. She has received hundreds of replies, about equally divided as to sentiment on the matter. Mrs. Lee, the grandmother of seven, wears the peppiest of costumes—skirts just below the knees, hose rolled and her gray hair bobbed and curled. “The men also have room for reform in dress.
