It isn't short for anything. 'Elsie' is a complete and unshortened name, and has fallen from popularity. rarely heard these days. When I was young I there were several elder female family-friends and relatives who had the name. I only know of one female currently with the name, and she would be around 75 years old.
Probably one of the most famous Elsies would have been Pat Phoenix who played Elsie Tanner in Coronation Street.

It's a diminutive of Eilzabeth, Alison or Alice, according to Chambers Dictionary, but has long been used as a name in its own right
