A paper is going the rounds about a girl dying from tight-lacing. An editor, commenting on the fact, says : — " These corsets should be done away with, and if the girla cau't live without being squeezed, we suppose men can be found who would sacrifice -themselves. As old as we are, we would rather devote three hours a day, without a farthing of pay, as a brevet corset, than see these girls dying off in that manner. Office hours almost any time."
