Also, | if men and women discarded the vain practice of wear- ing shoes much too email for their feet they would get more exercise and keep in better condition. | These are some of the interesting conclusions of Dr. | Claude L, Wheeler, associate editor of the New York Medical Journal, who told the members of the Rainy Day Club the other day that woman's dress is growing more sensible every year, and that to-day man might borrow some of the points of her costume to his own great advantage and profit. “Women have worn some form of corset from the dawn of civilization,” Dr. Wheeler told mo yesterday, “and in its present form the corset {8 abso- lutely harmless, In fact, {t may materially help some women to meet cer- tain conditions of modern life. Nature intended man to be a sort of superfor savage, to live outdoors most of the time, to hunt and fish and to be unable to travel great distances except on his own feet. But the conditions of civilization and the intentions of nature often clash, and the man or woman living in a city has to make the best possible compromise between the two. “women the peekaboo waist hag its hygi- enio advantages in summer, as it {9 healthy to expose the skin to the air.
