future corset fashions, this was
his answer:
"As far as any one can tell, the
same long, slender designs of
corsets that we have now will be
built for next Autumn and Win

longer and more slender. Women
will be as near hipless as it is
possible to make them!"

otherwise be utterly depleted by the one
crop system now in, vogue.

mittee to the provision in regard to the
fixing of definite grades of grain, so that
