Width and Color of Belts Increase
or Decrease Apparent Waist Size

! toilet, then the color OF the belt must be
determined by the length of the waist
II woman is short-waisted, the belt
should match the waist worn, because this
will give an extra inch in waist length.
II. however, the wearer is long-waisted,
the belt should correspond to the color OF
the skirt, and thus bring the figure into
better proportions.
When the length above the waist line
Is greater in proportion than 1t is from
that point downward, a person will appear
shorter than she really is. Thig is some
thing to be avoided. because stout figure
needs every fraction OF height.
A dip to the belt In front--a style liked
by many stout women-ls now seldom seen.
Only a few are still loyal to 1t. The
rounder line is. of course, more youthful
looking, but there are some women on
whom the straight around waist line does
not look attractive. In this class are those
who are inclined to be long in the back in
proportion to the front.
There are, Of course, ways of obtaining
this without resorting toy the dip. For in
stance. when narrow belt Is to be cut an
inch or more wide. cut q strip OF paper
that will slant from center back to the
same point In front and lay the upper
edge close TO the natural waist line.
Supposlng Ethe strip has been fitted TO
the right side. remove and replace on the
left side, first turning the strip upside
down. 1t will then fit snugly into the waist
line. Before. the belt wouldAtiave given a
spread effect 70 the figure. Despite this
simple corrective hundreds of women adopt
the unbecomlnK arrangement
A belt could be cut at first TO tit I'M
wards as described. but amateurs will find
Il easier to plan according to directions
/. given. They will also have an opportun-
ity OF viewing both effects and win not fail
TO see the difference. With the spread
ing belt the waist will appear to be AT
least three inches larger than when fitted
with the belt placed in the opposite dlrec-
ton.
Another style of belt that is becoming
to all stout figures when something a
little more dressy than q narrow straight
belt is desired. Is a narrow crushed girdle.
IT Is made from a strip four to five inches
wide. according to material
II sheer goods Is used the latter width
Is shirred in center back ana sewed in
visibly TO strip OF featherbone two inches
long. Under the arms the stirring is re-
peated and sewed to boning measuring
one and oise-half inches In length. At the
front closing the belt must be shirred
again 10 one-inch strips OF bone.
The shirring on the end OF the right n
formed with beading and invisible hooks
and eyes make the closing.
This style Of belt also suggests the din.

DO you insinuate you thought I meant

You know you did,"
The first step toward bending the Boss
to her wishes, as his spouse well knew,
was to put him in the wrong. Having him
there. she hurried on to her advantage:
And whether you did or not, you ought

Now, the Boss wife, as that parsonage

character and disposition which gave her
a separate and distinct method to manage
each of his moods
Once. in burst OF conjugal confidence,
she had given a hint OF her system of
domestic management by saying:
when a husbands mulish it's time to be
meek and when he's meek it's time to be
mulish-oh. no, dear, of course not with

q stout women who wish to disguise the
fact that they are too plump for symme-
try should avoid break at the waist line
by having their gowns made in one-piece
styles.
Still such designs are not always desir-
able, for two-pioce dresses may be more
practicable for morning wear, But when
sdreasingcin separate waist and skirt cos
tune matrons who are feshy should real
ize that belts ,increaSe or decrease the ap-
parent size Of their waists, and so they
should select girdles that will make them
seem less large.
Few women need to be told that light
belt, worn, over a dark gown win appar-
enNly increase the size of the waist by
several Inches; or that wide belt should
q not be worn by . stout-waisted person,
e There are also a number OF minor points
to be remembered when choosing belt.
lSS For example. it is understood that all
.koA matrons are not fashioned on the
Same lines. There are tall stout women
and short stout ones, those who are long
6waisted and those with short waists. also
women who are stout but small in proper
'tion at the waist line, and others who may
be- unduly large at the waist line. OBJ

Under New Law Railroads May b

washington, Aug. 27.-In behalf of
the shippers it is claimed that the &C
ton of the railraoCs in making general
increases in class rates afforded in
connection with the recent railroad
rate act an opportunity to try out for
the first time the question as to what
were reasonable freight rates. The
new law contains a provision which
places upon the carriers the burden of
the proof to Justify increases in freight
rates. Representatives of the Inter
state Shippers association and the Ma
tfonal Traffic league. which organiza-
lions held a meeting in Chicago in
Nav last. claim that under this pro-
vision it will be possible for complain

exactly upon what they base their
freight rates; that is, the value of the
right of way, terminal facilities etc.
leaving to the commission the right to
eliminate watered stock, holdings in
other companies, diversion of revenue
tn certain sources. etc.
In other words an effort Will be
made to force the carriers to make
