It is during this cru- cial period that flesh is usually put on and youthful lines are often lost before it is realized they are gone. At no period is ex- pert advice in the selecting of a corset more important, Front Laced The new spring MODART models provide several new designs espe- cially constructed to overcome the loss of youthful lines. No corset will ever be made to prevent its wearer from putting on flesh, but in these new MODARTS special provision has been made for the distribution of added flesh where it will be least apparent. These models are a testimonial to the skill of MODART designing, and are accomplishing most unbelievable results. We particularly recommend them to the attention of women who have to contend with the above difficulty, and we suggest a trial © fitting so that we can demonstrate the results of these new MODART Corsets.
