ANNIE protests against Tight-lacing: —“Having been much interested in your correspondence on the ‘Corset question,’ I cannot refrain from expressing my surprise that Tight-lacing should have found so many advocates. Many of your correspondents seem to exult in the possession of waists of so little girth, that it seems to me incredible. I am usually considered extremely slender; indeed, my dressmaker (no mean one) assures me she does not make for any one so small. If, them, I find myself a subject of remark and accusations of Tight-lacing with a waist of eighteen and nineteen inches, you may imagine my curiosity to see those who speak of twelve or thirteen inches as the desideratum.
