There Is a furore now among sirls'
American girls especially, 10 LOOK ,a'''
Even the French woman, who mas
hitherto been content TO look chic IL
anxious to look higher than she Is.
This opens up new field for the
artistic woman: and | fell into II I'M

. make n womna look a great deal taller
than she really Is. In some cases TINS
Is very difllcult: In others II Is very

There are women who naturally
look short. They are tall enough, out
they are so fat that they look litue'
There Is no making them look any
think but dumpy The only thing IN
their case is to reduce the weight
Until they thin there Is no such thing
as increasing their height have a
dozen OF these a day. They are rat
and dumpy looking. and they come 10
me clamoying TO look tall and stylish.
"Reduce your weight Is about all
can say to them. But ! manage TO
do so IN n very diplomatic way. so that
they depart thinking they are very
nearly perfection Just as they are.
The girl who Is too short must get
thin. Thin people always look taller
than they really are. As rule the
slender girl longs TO be fat But the
minute she Is fat she will look shorter.
So she better keep thin and tall look
ing.
But there are girls who are so
short that they look little In spite OF
being thin. No matter how slender.
they still look little. To these girls
there are words OF good advice.
Don't. II you are short. wear tight
fitting clothing. The little short thin
woman who puts on skin-tight dresses
will look weazen. She will look
sirivled up. She will look old. For
she will have that curiously dried up
appearance which belongs TO the aged,
Dress your shoulders broad II you
are little. II adds somehow to your
height. No one can tell why II is. but
the broad shouldered girl always looks
taller than she really Is. That Is the
secret OF the wonderful figure OF the
Gibson girl. She Is broad shouldered,
and Il adds a foot to ner height.
Shoulder puffs. fat sleeves and all
sorts OF devices for increasing the
breadth OF the shoulders. were invent
ed, not for the fat girl. but for the
short girl They are becoming and the
modistes cling TO them.
The short girl can also make her
self look taller by wearing long skirts.
These Increase the apparent height
and make the short girl graceful. They
may not be hygienic but they are I'M
mensely becoming. Put short girl
IN a trained gown and she will imme'
dlately take on height and dignity.
''The short girl may wear stripea
running lcngthwlsc and she may wear
the princess dress. and she can, II she
so desires. get herself up In trimmings
and stulfs that run from head 10 ioot
All OF these will make her look little
taller. But she should not overdo the
mntter. The short girl should never
be conspicuous In dress nor should
she wear many frills. They make her
look old and fussy.
but there are other things beside
dress to make the short girl look hii
And one OF these Is her coineur. The
short woman should dress her hair as
high as possible. and. II necessary
add a tall comb to make II still higher
OF course she will avoid being gro
tesoue. but she will carry the mar
dressing rs far as possible without
going to extremes.
There is a certain short girl In so

plaided. The girls hair Is always
coiffed high. And on top Of the high
celf she wears hat well fitted ut one
side and trimmed with a rather high
plume. No one suspects her OF being
