Advert for Le Gant corsets for the larger women 1936

\'Le Gant\' \'of youthlastic stretches allways\'. For the larger women. Yes! \'Le Gant\' does give the woman of larger proportions perfect figure control and . . . . with supreme comfort - that degree of comfort which banishes corset consciousness. Women with bust measurements up to 46 inches tell us that \'Le Gant\' is marvellous, it gives such a firm back with complete abdominal control, and takes inches off hips - really there is nothing quite like \'Le Gant\'. Try a \'Le Gant\' - you can fit them, and forget you are wearing corsets.1936

Ride of the Kings

Traditional Ride of the Kings is performed on May 26, 2019, in Vlcnov (300 km east of Prague). Every year, on the last Sunday in May, this call can be heard in the South Moravian village of Vlcnov. The Ride of Kings, a message for joy, happiness and beauty. In the 19th century, the practice of this custom could be evidenced in nearly all of Moravia. Today, its annual tradition is further developed only in Vlcnov. The ride or parade consists of a group of horse riders centered around a king carried on a white horse. The king is a juvenile boy dressed up in an old-fashioned woman's folk costume, his hands proudly placed on his hips and his lips pressed together to firmly hold a rose and thus symbolize taciturnity. At his sides, two adjutants (pageboys) are on horseback and protect the king by holding unsheathed sabers in their hands. Riding horses decorated with ribbons, the boys go around the town and chant witty verses to celebrate their king and ask for gifts on his behalf. The parade is led by an announcer calling out the words of an ancient message. (CTK Photo/Dalibor Gluck)
