CroubLes Of the
Little TWonlan

T HIS is the day OF the big woman.
The little woman when she goes
shopping finds herself shut out from
many of the advantages of her larger
sisters. In bargain sales particularly
she can have no part. All the ready
made things displayed so temptingly in
the shops are In sizes termed "regu-
lar" which are far outside the small
woman's dimensions. And the average
measure for woman's stature has become
larger within the last decade. So that
the shopping troubles OF the little
woman of the future promise to be even
greater than they are today.

probably how far behind the standard
