It not only gives grace, style and shapeliness to the figure, but it is so skilfully and carefully made, and in such a variety of models, that any style of figure can be fitted, without the least difficulty, promptly and satisfactorily. The straight-front Corset, which is perhaps the most comfortablecorset ever pro- duced, is still the leading model and the latest ideas in these after Léoty, Au- gustin-Magnier and Péters are shown in the new Pansy Models. The latest style of the season is the Corset laced in front (illustrated oppo- site) which has been re- ceived with so much favor in Paris, It is designed to produce a round, graceful figure, with low bust, and to confine the hips as may be desired. _ Pansy Corsets are made in Coutille, Satin, Sateen, Brocade, STRAIGHT-FRONT MODEL, I.
