HINTS FOR STOUT
AND ELDERLY WOMEN

THERE is decidedly a difficult task be-
fore many generously developed
women how to look Well and yet not run
counter to current modes. Every woman
would seem to be trying to look young
and thin, but this cannot always be done.
and in trying TO appear thin women too
often add to their apparent age.
A few plain facts must be remembered.
Stout women mist first of all avoid
stripes and vivid colors. The new reds
now coming in, the vivid greens and the
brilliant combinations of color must be
avoided She must avoid patent leather
shoes and boots with white gray or other
light-toned uppers. Hats require great
consideration, and far removed from her
category are felts with hard or very high
crowns or prominent outstanding feathers.
A belt simply emphasizes the ernbonpoint
of her waist. Very narrow skirts are
quite impossible They should be cut by
a hand well accustomed to the art.
Painters are quite out of the question.
The clothes of the stout and elderly
woman need a great deal of thought. One
color should be the DISTINGUISHING TACT
of her whole toilet. One-piece gowns
with a cape are better suited to stout
women than a long coat, but they may
console themselves with the fact that
what they ought to wear is What consul
futes the elements of good dressing. III
she makes a mistake in costume. IL GER
tainly looks worse on a stout woman
than on a thin one, on whom probably lt
would pass unnoticed. Brilliant jet TRIM
mings must be worn with caution: sway
ing fringes and tassels are OF all Things
TO be avoided. The stout woman Is wise
if she chooses simple clothes and careful
combinations of colors and strictly avoids
any garishness.
