BACK TO NATURE.
SMART SET DROPPING CORSETS
. Dealers in corsets are not pleased with the latest fad of the Weshington (U.S.) smart set.
On. excellent authority it is said that, to strictly swagger nowadays a woman mst discard the engirdling stays—a thing not impossible with the present style of empire girdled frock. The younger set proihoted the “back-ro-nature” idea. There have hen many smart dances this winter, and one after another the youthful damsels have .cast aside the artificial. form.
The first girl to. appear at a dance uncorseted created a mild sensation. But so materially did her innovation affect her career as a belle that the subsequent dances were remarkable for the number of girls who had suddenly taken up the dress reform she started.
