For Very Plump Women.
Many notifications are suited IN the
woman who Is little too plump. The
sides Of the bolero are cut up and the
fronts dip in a pair Of pointed tabs. There
is a split up the back or q slight pointing
down. The frst Of the Jackets i'm The next

center of its back corresponded to the
Side slaSheS. 1t was Of the same material

or white plque holding the slaSheS To
help the same defect of figure a bolero
may be cut with very wide armholes One
made In this way Of black lace or all-over
ana worn with a light dress adds nothing
To the bulk, and by its color suggests
tenderness, while its curves are grace
fully fashionable. BOleros Of stenciled
black taffeta are lined with white taffcta
and made reversible. Then width of
shoulder may be emphasized by bolero
with yoke finish at the top, giving a
pointed opening down the front This is
one Of those very rare mediums whose
ornamental value Is 50 great as to COM
pletely disguise its essential expediency.
The list of such is long

ot taste and purse. Another example in
The same general class appears in this IL
lustration I'm a bolero of black and white
silk lace. For the rest, this dress was
faWn cclo.ed grenadine over violet silk,
with collar Of the latter and sash garni-

BOleru fronts are often added to a gown

There may be sleeves or not. Deep points
