In the costume- collections in the museums in Paris you may still see those steel corsets that pressed the st into the circumference of an orange. But in the shops of Paris—of this country, for that matter—you would have trouble to find a corset that compressed the walstline at all. No one seems to be a bit interested in pressing in the walstline—because every woman knows that when the waist like an orange means hips like and below the waist bulges out. A aist like an orange means hips like & pumpkin—and no one wants pump- kin hips nowadays. Brassieres are much lighter than they were a few years ago—in fact, the old type of brassiere that really constricted is chosen now only by the woman who is honestly too stout. ‘Whatever lacing is done is done about the hips—for fashion does not t up in her insistence that hips must be as lithe as is comfortably possible. If you have been accustomed to cor- sets in your youth the chances are ithat you really ought to go on wear- ing some sort of modified corset or girdle all your life, but if you are ‘young and slender enough you may The Daily Cross-Word Puzzle (Copyright. 1027.)

(Copyrigh MILADY B BY LOIS The Summer Diet. Every Summer more people learn to appreciate the value of fresh and vegetables in the liet. B seekers especially find that a la vegetarian diet will keep their c plexions clear and their digestive tract in good order. Overweights also have | discovered that if two of their three meals consist entirely of fruit and vegetables, they will lose weight with- out going on a starvation diet. All the essential food values are found in vegetables and fruit, but one must eat large quantities of them to obtain enough of the different ele- ments. Meat is a more concentrated food, so that a small amount of it will go a long way. Most of us eat too much meat because it satisfies the ap- petite quickly. One should not, how- ever, swing to the opposite extreme by failing to include sufficient meat or meat substitute in one's diet. By “meat substitute” is meant food other than meat that is high in pro tein. Foods of this kind include legumes (peas, heans, lentils), cheese, milk, eggs, nuts, gluten of wheat, fish and fowl.
