Figures Are Essential
To Feminine Beauty

No matter how small che is, a woman
may always have a good figure.
If she has not one to begin with, she
should economic in some other part Of
her wardrobe. and call in the services Of
a good corsetiere.
II she can not be impressive, she can
at least be neat and good to look at.
Use only straight UP and down lines
in the development of your garments.
Whatever you DO, allow nothing which
cuts the figure horizontally.
The princess model, which is so much
a part Of the present mode, should be a
cause Of rejoicing among small women.
Do not wear shirt waists and skirts Of
contrasting materials.
This cuts the figure in half, and les
sens greatly the effect Of height.
Dispense with belts. If possible. and
If not, make them as narrow as possible.
and always of the same material as the
frOck.
Coats may be amost any length but
that most usual OF all, the three-quarter.
This is usually fatal.
Straight coat seams may be trimmed,
but never the lower edge.
A trimming thare would cut the figure
In two.

For Stout People to Read
The Harmless Remedy Now In
Their Own Hands

In reproducing the recipe in full Of an
extraordinarily successful remedy for
overstout ness it was thought that many
readers would like 10 make up the pre-
scription themselves. The ingredients
can be attained at any druggists, and
are as follows: z o. Marmola, y OF.
Fluid Extract Cascara Aromatic, and
31R OF. Peppermint Water.
Shake the ingredients together in a
largish clean bottle. The dose is one
teaspOonfuI, to be taken after each meal
and at bedtime.
Obesity has always been an obstinate
complaint to deal with. and it is pleas
ing to record that the above remedy is
becoming better known every day as
the most efficaciOus Of treatments,
which does not Involve any fasting or
exercising. or other weakening auXil-
laries. The person so treated gets rap
idiy stronger as fast as the superfiuous
rat is being expelled. In severe cases
OF corpulency the reduction amounts to
many pounds a week.

no discredit to even be whipped to a

a debutante. At any rate. when she
got after the menu. she brought it into

Pictures for Borders.

Miss H. P. M.-If the pictures OF your
favorite actresses are of one size you
may make a most attractive frieze of
them by first passe partouting them
and then arrangir them side by side
around the room, one or Two deep,
though a single line is more apt to be
satisfactory. II your ceilinEs are too
high for this treatment. Passe partout
the pictures and simply cover one wall
with them hanging them in so that
the lower edge will define a straight
line. It matters not how irregular the
upper line may be. II your room is
hung in dull blue tones the passe
pertout on the pictures will be very
effective IL done in white.
I'm inferring that you know the very
simple process Of pssse partouting,
which consists Of placing the picture
between a plate of glass and a piece
of cardboard, both the exact size OF the
picture. and fastening together by past
ing a strip Of heavy paper about the
outer edges The passe partouting
