For the Short. Stout Woman.

1t goes without saying that the stout
woman always admires the styles
created for her taller and more slender
sisters. That's all right, but worship
at a distance. Don't pass the suitable
long coat and purchase the short jack
ct, which is bound by the laws of dress
to make you look infinitely shorter.
Trim your gowns, both waists and
skirts. in perpendicular effects. Avoid
anything in the way of frilly or
pouched effects that add breadth. You
may affect all pointed and N-shaped
arrangements with good results. In
blouses. bodices or coats the more OBJ
scure the waist-line the more height is
given. Yokes are not intended for the
bodice of the short. stout woman, but
rather an unbroken line from waist to
shoulders, which gives length.-Wom-
