A CLOTHES HORSE! It was a Medici who invented the no- cursed corset and she invented it in iran, too, that clamped the hapless breast and waist as id a vice. Thenceforth it came to stay (there is no pun intended), save for a brief period in the early nineteenth century, when women returned to the girdle.

The point in all this is very simple-, Is woman merely a clothes-horse? If not, say, and be done with the bedecking and bedraping which has disfigured (in the literal sense generation after generation. In the eighteenth century in particular, which was easily the worst next to the mid-Vic.orian epoch, clothes got away from the woman and affronted the femala for diving,

The Empire fashions resumed the best points of the cfd Greek garments, They revived the girdle and abolished the corset of the Medici. They ceased breaking and push. ing in the floating ribs; they recognised that the waist is immaterial, and that the proper and most beautiful lines fal from the busom downwards,
Occasionally in later timer there were laudable attempts to revert to this Empire ideal in the princess gown; but that, alas, has been referred long since to the forgot ten limbox.
Yet the excesses of the Empire betrayed it and brought it in ruins. "Les Merveil- leuses boasted that the clothes they wore would pass through a ring, and they did not mind if it was a wedding one." *They walked abroad with skirts simbed open from the waist, and they probably died of paeumonia. Bo perished not only they, but the fashions,
