SiM MO (MS
The garter has become a thing of
leauly, but it remains a hygienic abomi
nation, according to the doctors. This
refers to the round garter, which com
rcssts tho muscles, retards the circula
tion, ami niiiiilis (he nerves.
And it is this in-trumciit uf toriure
upon which the inanulactiirers have
iivished their attention, until it has be
come su jiretty an all'air, with its filagree
buckles and its ribbou bows, that only
Spartan women can resist it.
I'ASTKNKU ABOVE THE KNEE.
The round garter, fastened abovo the
knee, is uot considered by physicians
tiite so deadly as the tightly-drawn
corset. There are no ribs in the leg to
be compressed, and the vital organs of
the body are not located in the neighbor
hood of the knee. Hut, next to the
injurious compression of the waist, bust,
aud abdomen by stays, the hvgienisls
place the compression of the leg by elastic
inters. The india-rubber bands which
cueircic the flesh just abuve the knee are
dangeruus, because of their effect upon
the muscles and u)ou the circulation.
Tho veins are cenlracted, and the blood
of necessity is retarded iu its flow. The
result is not merely local iniury, but
harm to the whole system, which is
affected by the sluggishness of the circu
lation.
Hut the danger does not merely lie in
an impaired circulation, but is also mus
cular. In walking, the muscles just
above and below the knee are brought
mure intu play than any others. The
compression uf the muscles at this point
is therefore, something to be avoided, for
it means additional effort at every step
and consequent weariness. Often this
fatigue produces muscular rhcuinatisi
and doctor's bills are the direct result of
the frivolous bit of silk elastic ribbon
and silver which sbojikcepcrs call a gar
ter.
If the exigencies of tidiness absolutely
demand the round garter it is much
letter that it should bo wurn beluw the
knee than above.
