THE old cry, "Why don't you de-
 sign dresses for fat women
 A like myself" is the voice of six out of every twelve women. Al most the last thing I should care to be is the "fat frumps friend."e She always reminds me of the ostrich that buries it's head in the sand-by putting a silly little hat on or wear ing a tight gown that looks as though 1t were spread" on her like butter. My experience of the fat woman is that she loves to sit at home. eat the best of everything, and then rely on an expensive quack medicine and her dressmaker to make her thin. My advice to her is very old-exercise, dancing, for in stance-and I should like to see large electric signs outside of all dancing palaces, 'Fat-Reducing Pleasure" and jet the medicine, and, most of all, the dressmaker, be the last resort.
 Anyway, as the last resort, let me expound-and this is where the ostrich comes in Dear lady, you are fat anyhow. so the best way to disguise it is not to wear a tightly swathed gown that marks every curve" or else high collars that heap out chin after chin My advice Is go easy, and, if your hips are large, wear one of the new wired-out skirts and make them twice as large; for, whereas is a tight skirt you show just exactly how big you are, in fuii, sticky-out one, your friends have just to guess how much IS you and how much is dress, while with the new long-pointed tight bodice, the fattest of women can generally produce possible waist, and there you are.
 Now there is type of big women who would look ridiculous in these dresses-that is, the amazon and her only hope is the thin dress Long, clinging, hanging drapery are hers, even if she is fat all drapery beginning as high up as possible to emphasize her height and size. much in the same way that a short lady exaggerates her width by the full skirt. Her height can also be exag- gerated by headdress that stands straight up.

posed of bands to match with two upstanding black feathers. Note how all the draperies fall from the shoulders and above the waistline and think how ridiculous she would look in the same dress if she were short and fat instead of tall and stout.
 Now for Mrs. Short and Plump" in the lower right-hand corner:
 She has a fiat dress" Her dress is of black tulle with jet embroidery, and her greatest enemy could never say that she filed the entire width of that skirt, while her tight waist only helps the illusion. Look at the modest little black lace tucker, con- tradicted Immediately by the dia- mond shoulder straps. It is really to my mind a cunning gown. and think how ridiculous she would look in the same frock if she vert really tall and stout. So, stout ladies, de- sign your own gowns, or, rather, let me design them, but you choose the right ones for yourself. As a last resort. don't rely on me to make" you thin. I'm not fat, and I didn't make" myself thin. I kept myself slim, but I always work hard and play hard, too, for that matter.
 Now, I will give you a couple of dresses for walking. I mean good walking, for exercise. The top left hand covert coating is tight and practical. It is light in weight, has a full, short, easy skirt and nicely fit ting coat with large pockets. The stripe leather belt is rather high and the close-fltting sleeves match the collar with their black and white stripe facing. Shoes, hat and stick are of black and white to match. A little stripe tussore answers the pur- pose better for the afternoon wear.

 The hair should be dressed very close to the head in either case, as nothing to my mind is more frowsy than a loosely dressed head which looks as though it had been coiffured with a knife and fork rather than a comb. Long earrings often make a good line, while umbrellas or sun shades should be as long and slim looking as possible. In the case of double chins, necklaces are, of course, entirely tabooed, unless it is a string of pearls, in which case they must reach well below the waist and be loosely knotted. Low shoes are preferable to high, light top boots, and the most important of all Is, however stout, an erect carriage and good business-like step when walking.
