THE STOUT WOMAN.
Two Essential Rules 20 Follow In
Selecting Her Gowns.

Two Essential Rules 20 Follow In
Selecting Her Gowns.
The late NJ. Worth, the great French
dressmaker, always insisted on long
and flowing lines for his stout clients
and, quite regardless Of prevailing
fashions, absolutely refused to trim
their gowns with horizontal effects.
The stout woman, therefore, will be
wise If she accepts as cardinal points
in the study of her wardrobe these two
essentials won from a worldwide ex-
perience.
All gowns should be made of some
soft material that can be put on very
full over a closely fitted lining Of silk.
This lining clings to the figure and
adds nothing to its bulk, while the
voluminous skirt draped upon it is
too soft to take up space over the
hips and yet is full enough to give
broad, sweeping lines TO the bottom.
Many stout women are appalled, at
the suggestion of a full skirt. but If
they will try on a skirt that lies snug
ly round the waist and hips and flares
well out from the hips down they will
see how slender the waist will appear
in contrast to the full effect Of the
skirt.
The fullness should appear to spring
from the belt, and the outline of the
hips should never be accentuated by
having the skirt fitted TO them. The
fitted yoke with a gauged or fitted
skirt springing from the yoke is also
an error of judgment.
The top Of the skirt should have the
fullness laid in plaits OF tucks, just as
one pleases. OF course the extensive
ly Gauged skirts should never be worr

by them with discretion.
In the matter Of trimming great care
should be taken. Long panels some
times appear to reduce the size Of the
figure, but the horizontal trimmings,
whether put on in wavy lines or seal
lops, always reduce the height and ap-
pear to increase the breadth of the wo-
man who wears them.
The stout woman who dresses to her
figure rather than to fashionable mod
els is always more smartly gowned
than she who wears what is fashion
able in itself rather than what is suit
able.-London Express.

stump speaking is primarily and

public questions"
True. The masses do not read the

at least, do not care TO read long edi-
toItals on great public questions. Their
chief source OF instruction along these
lines is the political stump-speaker.

but too often positive misrepresenta-
ZION and falsehood. This has been
notably true Of many Republican
speakers, and some Democrats. too, in
this county and district. They have not
hesitated, in order to gain temporary
advantage and make vote, to make
statements and charges which they
knew TO be absolutely false and Sian
derous, and thereby lower the tone of
political discussion, and mislead and
misinfOrm the people. So long as this
state of things exist we can never have
an intelligent impartial or honest cleo
torate.
TEL the truth, cut who it may, but
by all means be sure to tell the truth -
wsuld seem to be a good motto for
political stumpers.
This will be hard task for certain
Republican stump speakess in Vir-
ginia to adopt. They have been deal
