dissatisfaction. Nothing about his own
personality or make up contents him.
He is essentially a being of observation.
II he has n friend who is short and fat,
while he himself is tall and thin, he
forms the idea that he, too, would like
to be stumpy and adipoSe.
"A tailor can do little for him, but we
can. Liberal but discriminating padding
will make him ~corpulent, and if his make
up is expertly perfected il will give him
the appearance Of being considerably
shorter than when in his normal state.
His friends will remark how well he is
looking. ask how he has grown so fleshy,
and the artful deceiver will launch into
such a dissertation of astronomy that
the horse hair appliances in his artificial

knot with surprise.
These forms are not limited entirely
to the trunk Of the subject. The calves,
hips and knees all come in for its benefit.
You know that the knee of a mans
trousers in less than a month after they
are made become ''baggy." This neces-
States any amount of running 10 the

the construction of the member is the
principal reason of such a state of things.

forms below and above the cap. and the
trousers will tit like n glove and won't

the lining Of the garment makes it still
and prevents the cloth struiuing. You
may have noticed that the cloih never
stretches at the knee cap, but above and
below it. \ little dressing about the too
large calf and a little doctoring at this
member itself is n valuable aid 10 the fit

Fats are made of a variety Of ma

Chest and spinal articles are made like q
