About Small Waists.
Mrs. Haweis, of London, has writ
ten a letter in dejence of small waists.
She says : The "long and short of it
is, a small waist is only pretty when
it is natural for it is then, and only
then, aichitecturally in proportion.

and pinched waist are excessively

arms, across the back equals fifteen
inches, the width of the waist ought
not to be less than seven and a halt
inphes. Or say the circumferenoe of
the shoulders be thirty-eight inches,
the circumferenoe of the waist should
not bo less than twenty 'eight inches.
Lastly, as to Bafe pressure. A waist
which is naturally only twenty-two
inches mav be enclosed in stays of
twenty inches without danger ot dis
comfort. Indeed, it would be dimcult
to feel any support with a looser
corset. In snob a case the height
must not exceed nve feet two inches.
But ;a waist - which is thirty inohee,
measured honestly, without tbe stays,
and forced into a belt of eighteen or
twenty inches, is not only likely to
injure the health, but is certain to
iook ugly. It is architecturally bad,
whatever tbe height of the frame; and

proportion, an a treenn a building, m
