WAISTS COMING BACK.
The old question of waist-lind has recurred.
Some of the loading fashion houses have just boon exhibiting models with the waist-line quite high-higher than it was last yeur, and as high as Napoleonic times. At the same time other models are shown with the waist- line in various positions. „

Thus, at the moment women of
all conceivable shapes can dress as best suit their individualitios, They can put their waist-lines| where they like. But the higher it is the more they will please the fashion propagandists (or agitators), and if they are proud of their figures they can do what women did four or five thousand years ago, and at froquent in- tervals since -- wear dresses elosoly fitting to the waist..
