All fashion points % the Empire
craze; but woe betide the woman not
built for this trying mode. In fact,
but one out of every hundred, at the
lowest estimate, has the figure to
stand the lines and curves that this
style demands. 1t is calculated to
throw out all the "humpiness" of the
woman inclined to embonpoint, and
this is surely the day Of the "fat lady"
for In cold estimate, out of a row of
ten seats at a theatre, Seven women
are fat! Yes, It is an actual fact, fat
ladies predominant. Diet, exercise and
denials of all kinds are practiced only
to witness the solid flesh Increasing.
The women who has reached the
age of forty and maintains her slender,
graceful figure. IN tn be: envied. Each
year sees determined and distinctive
change In the styie. It Il absolutely
necessary for the success of business
that there should be a diversity Of
styles and many radical changes.
The Empire fad will be of short dur
ation, owing to the above reasons, but
while 1t continues one sickens of the
everlasting one piece frock poked at
you in all materials, whether suitable
or otherwise.
