Two things are neces-. sary—first, select a model, in dividually designed for the figure in question; second, adjusting the corset properly to that figure. Even at $3.50 Madame Lyra Corsets come in a wide range of models of varying proportions for all types of figures—in a wide range of materials—beautiful brocades, coutils,'bat istes, etc. Other models, $5.00, $6.50, $7.50 and up.
