Any drpssmalter can make gowns for
the slender woman. It is the fat lady
who drives her to distraction Pat
terms have way of being deceptive.
Sometimes they appear to make the
figure look thin i'll the picture, but In
reality they cnricnture ii out of all

for the fat lady lies in not trusting
the dressmaktr, but in using her own

Indeed. madame the dressmhker is ii

soul to prove that q certain design of
dress which ii takes yards and yards
of goods to carry out is bound to be
ever so much more becoming than a
simple style In which there Is not SO
much profit
Alas for the pertidS of human ma
ture! One dressmaker that | know
even had mirror especially for fat
ladies'. She never fitted them before
any other. and this tricky piece Of
looking glass was of the sort that
lengthens out the figure. When the
customer had paid her bin and the
dress was sent home she usually had
good deal of shock and felt like
consulting an Vculist.
As rule, It takes a long time for
the average woman to reHlize that she
is getting stout. She Keeps on buy
