AMERICAN WOMAN NOT PIoUANT

This pose may be piquante and anus
ing when the little French manikin at
tempts 1t with her coquettish grace, but
the average American woman is not it,
tie nor piquante: she Is built on far
broader and mere generous lines, and her
attempts are nothing short of grotesque.
1t is true that comparatively few wom-
en- after years OF bondage in the corset
can hold themselves erect without a little
persuasion from an outer force. but this
slight reminder will be found in the cor
set OF tricot which does not detract in
the least from the uncorseted effect, but
does prevent the body from slouching in
an ugly forward curve. Certain coutu-
riers are helping the corsets BY adding
high belts OF gros grain. over this belt
the blouse may hang i'm loose, supple
folds. and though the effect is soft and
pretty and graceful the droop of the body

cause the college girl has no time for the

Nor does the tunic show any wiring. but
it does contain two pockets, cherished
possessions Tor the college girl. No more
appropriate trimming than soutache braid
could be found. A generous arm size is
outlined by the braid; two rows form the
cuff into which the sleeve is gathered.

in the front by a twist of cord run
through crocheted rings. The tiny white
guimpe gives a pleasing and neat effect
