The continual wearing of stays causes women, especially those of the upper classes, who are not obliged to keep themselves iu condition by work, lose, after middle age, a considerable share of their height, not by stooping as men do, but by actual collapse, sinking down. This is caused by the perishing of the muscles that sup port the frame In consequence of the constant press- ure of stays. Mb. A.
