CATER TO THE WOMEN "The summer girl has simply discovered summer," declared a writer several years ago, "and she is mak ing vacation ona of the Great laduatrlee with capi tals." Take the seaside and mountain resorts and- the amusementa offered; there are teanla eourts, golf links, coaching parties, dance halls. They advertise u,"i uaniing, nsning ana Bunting.

Twenty-five or thlrtv veara ago they were extensively worn by men on the contl- Officers of the famous Gustavus Adolphus were, ac cording to Dr. Doran, "the tightest laced exquisites of a suffering humanity." Tha Prince de Llgne, that fa mous beau and warrior, alwaya wor stays. Of him Dr Johnson eald: "When he rose ha was invested in bodice made of atlff canvae." - - . With, interest people will watch the eoraet vogue In London at least, If It does achieve vogue. : ". "But In this country," declared one of - th best known tailors In a big city, "never will th corset bo worn by men. Londoners, at times, get a erase, and a new fad for a short time becomes quite popular. The French may be likely to take up the corset fad. I doubt If it will attain any degree of popularity In -England. No American business man, however, would ' think of Wearing a corset" :.- t. -:,- "Wear corsets?" another tailor commented "Tee. when men wear Jnsertlon-decorated shirtwaists) Th Croposed .London style certainly Is freakish.
