Some provision Is made for the short and
slender, some fashions are modified for the
use Of the medium-weight woman, but the
styles are wholly at variance with the re-
quirements Of the stout. A woman must be
"a daughter Of the gods, divfnely tall and
most divinely fair" II she attempts the
style of the moment, otherwise the effect Is
somewhat ludicrous, and such a result is al
ways to be avoided. The gowns continue

acter means an outlay of money which Is
almost appalling to those who feel that

The new lines are somewhat severe,

tendency to fat in the regions Of the hips

the abnormal double curve Is corrected
and outline preserved more effectually and

girls, however. the curved fronts are pref

With the coming in Of these closely fit
