A note from a fashion center of
! Europe sings a note Of comfort for
the fat woman, for the style for slim
ness is entirely passe. The slim
woman Is doomed today. Fashion has
| decreed her passing and bones are to
vanish before plumpness and bonni-
ness. Women cheerfully now own to
a waist measure OF from &c to SO
inches. In fact, the slim, slinker-
SLOUGH woman Is now considered ugly
and deformed.
The craze for slimness produced
the irritable woman, the neurotic and
nervous woman. the poseuse. To be
healthy, q woman should, as every
body knows, have an erect figure and
an uncramped waist. II the woman
adopts a slouching figure, her chest
contracts. and nothing Is worse than
that for the general health.
