ARTISTS writes— “I was very glad to see the announcement in your January number that the ‘Corset Book’ would be out soon after Christmas. I am sorry that it is not ready yet. I do hope that we shall not be kept waiting for it much longer. I can assure you that I and many of my friends are expecting it most anxiously. I have seen one advertisement in the Morning Post which I suppose refers to it, but as it gives no information beyond what is I suppose the title, The Corset and the Crinoline, we are still in the dark as to where the book is to be obtained when ready. Please supply this information. I was very much interested in the letter in your January number from the lady who did not begin tight-lacing till she was married. It shows how much may be done, even after the figure is set, by anyone who is determined possessing a slender waist.“
