To Short, Stout wom.n.

"Who will persuade the short, stout
woman that the bolero and Elton jack
cts, with the clasping cinctures or CIR
dies which accompany them and are
now so much worn, are not for her?'
This query is asked by writer in the
New York Times, who says;
1t is pathetic the way women make
themselves unattractive by studying
other women's fashions instead of their
own. Every woman who has reached
the age of % has achieved by accident
or intention some time in her life be-
coming toilet. 1t may have been piece
meal, hat that specially suited her, a
gown that her friends spoke Of, jacket
or mantle that she knew she looked
we'll in. Let her remember the combina-
ton and forever dress on that model. 1t
must be modified and adapted to the
prevailing style, but a little care will
do this, and in these days Of infinite va
riety of fabric and garniture it is easy
to avoid monotony.

Tailor made gowns are il possible
