Willing Victim. — 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 girls can't lire 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 pay, as a brevet corset, than see these girls dying off in that manner. Office hours almost any time.' The ' girl of the period' in Arkansas is described as thirteen years old, shoeless bonnetless, stockinglesa, with the sheriff after her for stealing a horse.
