Clothes the Fat Woman Shouldn't Wear

black dress, usually considered so safe
by fat women, will make her look as
big as an elephant. A white dress will
make her look like an iceberg. but a
dress Of some quiet shade OF gray vii!
reduce her size wonderfully. She may
wear a touch of some brilliant shade IL
she desires to wear a color.
A certain stout woman voiced the
sentiments OF her sisters by moaning
at the neCkwear counter Of a smart
shop. There's not piece OF frilly
neCllwear for the fat woman; there's
nothing good looking for her!"
Well. things are not so desperate as
described, but the becoming neck
ruches of tulle and lace that soften the
face and take the age wrinkles out OF
the back of the neck are not for milady

but could anything be funnier than
some of the tiny creations one sees
perched above the full moon faces Of

THE present styles do not acknowl-
edge avoirdupois, and the s'fat wo-
man" sartoriaNy is non est, but there
are, however, members OF the fair sex
who do admit that they stand in need
of few reduction stunts. Now. there
are some styles that the woman of
cite is not slim perhaps would be a
more acceptable way Of putting it,
should consider taboo.
The most glaring OF these "fmpOSsi-
bles" is the checked skirt worn with n
coat of plain material. One does see a
lamentable number o: stout women
arrayed in this modish combination. 1t
seems strange that their glasses do not
tell them that their height is appar-
emily reduced about . foot by the cos
tune. and at least ten pounds of weight
are added. When the outfit includes a
blouse cut low at the neck and feet
shod in suede boots that always make
| a fat foot look pudgy the result is n
| thing to make the angels weep. OF
| course il goes without saying the skirt
| is a trousers affair.
| Another style for the stout woman to
cast into the discard is the cutaway eff
feet, either in coat or froCk. This alb
rupt curve in the front of the coat aC-
Centuates the wCarer's size and makes
her appear AS round as n tub" The
long panel effects and the continental
coat tails which so many of the one
piece frocks have this season are both
for the woman who is unfashionably
stout.
The large woman who has beer
clever enough to subordinate her size
and wear dull. quiet Colors has solved
one of the most difficult problems Of
dress. She will make people forget mel
size if she wears dull tan or gray. A
