FEWER CORSETS

THE WOMEN PRESSURE OF BRITAIN

MR. OLIVER LYTTELTON, President of the Board of Trade, has made a new order cutting down supplies of goods classed as luxuries, which will call for more sacrifices from women and children than from men.

For women there will be only half the supplies of corsets stocked in retail shops a year ago, a third of the gloves, a quarter of the household goods made of lace, and a quarter of the fur-lined clothes.

Women are also primarily in- terested in these cuts:-

A quarter of the mattresses containing metal springs.

Two thirds of the down quilts

and siceping bags.

A third of the rugs containing wool.

Half the pottery.
