May Heaven preserve us from seeing the day when women universally adopt the dress reform of abandoning the corset. A few young. girls may look all right without it, but women of anything like mature years would beconia. mere shapeless, masses devoid of grace or beauty' in shape. That this would be so in proved by the hideous figures of the women of those countries where corsets;' and most other niticles of clothing, are unknown.
