silence about so pathetic a scene. The
very memory of such picture is a
ghost to haunt them for their political
persecution and character-assassi

Stout women who wish to disguise
| the fact that they are too plump for
symmetry should avoid break at the
waist line by having their gowns made
| III one piece styles.
/ SIN such designs are not always de
I sirable, for two piece dresses may be
more practicable for morning wear.
But when dressing in "a separate waist

| waists, and SO they should select Cir
/ dies that viii make them seem less

Few women need to be told that a
| light belt worn over u dark gown will
apparently increase the size OF the
waist by several inches. or that q wide
belt should not be worn by n stout
wasted person.
There are also a number Of minor
points to be remembered when choos-
Ing belt.
For example, II is understood that all
stout matrons are not fashioned on the
same lines. There are tall stout wo-
men and short stout ones, those who
are long wasted and those with short
waists. also women who are stout but
small In proportion at the waist line,
and others who may be unduly large
at the waist line. Obviously, then, one
particular style of belt will not suit
every woman who happens to be stout.
SO this accessory must be chosen
with regard to the figure.
- bne law which will apply to all stout
women ia that the belt shall be mar

is that 1t shall match III color the dress,
of which II forms a part II the girdie
can ne of the same material so much
the better; but II IN imperative that
Ii be the same color If satisfa ctory re-
suits are desired.
When separate skirt and waist form
the toilet, then the color of the belt
must be determined by the length of
the waist. If woman Is short wasted
the belt should match the waist worn,
because this win give an extra inch in
waist length. IT, however, the wearer
