Today’s Lastex Corset Resembles Only Slightly Early Dress Accessory Wife of French President Receives as Gift Garment Made With Yarn Instead of Wood or Steel Once Used. BY HELEN LINDSAY RECENTLY, while visiting St. Etienne, Madame Albert Lebrun, wife of the president of France, received as a gift a Lastex corset. It was a presentation of the Association of Elastic Web Manufacturers, and was regarded by the French people as a most appropriate gift, for the history of France is said to be closely allied with the history of the corset. Corsets were first recognized as important in woman's dress in France. Though vague accounts of them are mentioned in the time of Cleopatra, as early as 69 B. C., the corset did not gain historical imi>ortance until

the fourteenth century, when France began experimenting vith it. By the fifteenth century. French stylists had accepted the corset as a necessity for feminine dress, and decreed that it be made of wood. With the coming of the sixteenth' century, the corset was made of metal. The metal corset was introduced by Catherine de Medici, who prescribed thirteen inches as the maximum measurement for a woman’s waist. The corset of that day. in addition to compressing the feminine waist to meet the requirements of the vain queen, held the body in a rigid position. Women wore these devices and because of them the death rate jumped to such a figure that King Henry IV issued an imperial decree, forbidding injurious fashion. Stays wore then "bootlegged” and were worn in the sides of women’s dresses. Following the death of Henry IV, corsets came into common

use again, with thin metal slats in the form of lattice work taking the place of metal. a a a a a a Whalebone En joyed Long Reign NOT until the eighteenth century was the whalebone corset introduced. For years it was the accepted type of foundation garment used by woman, in one style or another. Then came the corsetless era in women’s fashions, which lasted until the return of fitted styles. Thg newest development in the history of the corset is exemplified in the garments made of Lastex. the elastic yarn which can be kitted or woven, and which stretches both horizontally and vertically. The Lastex corset presented to Madame Lebrun is the “last word” in corsets. While it has been designed to hold the figure in accordance with the present day silhouette, the elasticity of the fabric allows freedom of movement. In comparison with the wooden and metal contraptions worn by early French women, it demonstrates improvements of a modern age over an early one. a a a a a a Elizabeth Arden Puppets Booked by Ayres A PUPPET show, which will be of interest to women, will be on view in one of the windows of the L. S. Ayres store next week. Puppets from the Elizabeth Arden salon, Fifth avenue, New York, will appear Monday at the store. Miniature reproductions of the blond and brunette “ladies of fashion,” these tiny animated figures will perform the beauty rites which are taught in the Arden salon. This will be their first appearance in Indianapolis. With them will be Miss Jane Renfrew, personal representative of Miss Arden. She will conduct a beauty school throughout the week at the Ayres store, with two classes each day. Registration for classes may be made through the store’s toiletry department.
