constitute line that runs across him, il
does not run far enough to do any harm
to the whole, and it contributes an artifi-
cial break which the collar fails TO do and
deceives you into thinking he has a neck.
Ills waistcoat should be cut low at the top
and V shaped at the bottom; a soft shirt
and not too highly buttoIed coat will give
him an air or being fairly normal, if not
slender OF course, you see, it is all fol-
lowing out the optical illusion exemplifed
in diagram No. 2 that the more the lines
slant down in space the narrower it
looks If nature hasn't given you good
lines you must set up other lines that are
good, and emphasize them so that the eye
will take pleasure in dwelling on them.
Last Summer ! saw a woman who must
have weighed over 200 pounds so skillfully
dressed that | have never forgotten her.
Her dress was OF soft blue material and
where it was faced with creamy white the
lines were all running in double sets Of
V-shaped angles; at the end of her rather
full sleeves the lines came to a point well
down on the back of her hands; at the
throat was an inverted V, and the delicate
lines that ran down the skirt terminated
again in VS.. | could not but think how
perfectly the maker had carried out the
rules of an optical illusion that is fairly
we'll known, and is shown in diagram No
3. Here V opening outward at the ends
Of line makes that line appear longer
than one Of the same length that has VS.

in the light and dark or dull in the
shadow. This increases the bulk, because
the light and dark sides are thrown in
strong relief. AS the mathematician says,
il shows the third dimension"-it gives
depth.
This is especially true Of red. Can you
imagine a fat man dressed in red! He
would look more like a barrel than ever.
Just the reverse is true Of blue. OF all
bright colors the shadow side Of blue is
lighter and the light side darker than any
other color. To a certain extent the round
ness Of an object is destroyed by painting
it blue. Hence your fat man will look
thinner in blue than in any other color.
Black has a similar effect. With the very
fat or the very thin it should be the aim
to conceal as much as possible the lines
of the figure, not just the outline. but
those lines that go in between or over
the figure which give ii, its third dimen-
sion.
Amy line like that of a belt helps
to establish the size OF course, a fat
man hasn't any real waist line, but he
only makes himself worse by trying to
have one, he must never let anything cut
him in two. In this case a half belt is
better than a whole one.
With madam it is the same. Diagr m
No. l explains why this is true. Lines that
run up and down give slenderness to the
figure. Lines that go across give the ap-
pearance of width. In No the upper end
OF this figure seems wider than the lower
Then. again, it is very dangerous for a
stout woman to wear any dress material
that shines, like glossy satin or hard
taffetas, for the strong contrast that the
light and dark areas make show the thick
ness by calling attention to it. The very
thin may wear a material of that char
acter to great advantage, for every sur
face that catches the light makes her
seem plumper. Heavy satins and bro
cades and silver and gold weaVes are only
for the very slender of figures. and. we
may add the full of purse.
A fat man must never wear plaids: most
OF them know it, but few seem to know
that in wearing a small round derby hat
they are simply assisting nature to make
them look ridiculous. soft hat is less
likely 10 call attention to his lack Of figure.
while a silk hat, with its breadth and
shiny surface, is the very best sort Of
camoufage for his short stature, for il

the rest Of the figure. | can explain this
by using the butterfly as an example. On
butterfy's wing there are some start
lingly conspicuous spots; deep black ones
perhaps, surrounded with circles The eye
simply cannot miss these spots. and that
is precisely why they are there Invol-
unfairly your vision seizes on them, and
you do not see the outline of the butter
hy's wing, natures protection against its
natural enemies. A high hat will have the
same effect in a lesser degree
The same, OF course. is true for the

and for long time in the French theatre
camoufage has meant makeup"
1t is from the point of view Of make
up" in it's broadcast sense that / propose to
deal. The. makeup" of the man and
woman in daily life mainly is the express
sion Of theE outer habit, though much
is to be said on the camouhaging Of our
emotions, too.
We Americans are often accused Of bluff
fng, but much of this isn't camoulage it
is just the desire to put the right foot for
ward all the time.
It's certainly the right kind of camou-
1age that made our homesick doughboys
sing Pack up your troubles in your old
kit bag and smile, smile, smile" 1t came
to be as much a part of the game "over
there" to seem to be brave as to be brave.
We recognize that we do this to our emo
lions, but the fact is we more often camou-
fage our outward selves from the eyes of
others. Some of us take great pains with
il and would do it better if we could. It
comes Of a desire to look well in most
cases. The fat man would give anything
t. look like slender sylph, and the very
thin would do the same to seem less thin
The truth is, much can be done in both
directions OF course, there is a limit to
what we can do, but by the proper ar
rangement of spots, lines and colors some
OF the faults given us by nature may be
corrected.
Things are not what they SEEM" said
a great poet, and nothing could be truer-
our eyes are unquestionably fooling US
most of the time. Som times its more
than our eyes. If you draw two circles
exGctly the same size and place one in a
sharp pointed V the one thus placed looks
considerably larger than the one without
the triangle. Now, if you have the same
forms raised slightly and put them under
the fingers Of a blind man he will tell you
the same thing the inside one seems the
larger.
If you will take the trouble TO learn a
few of the tricks of the trade" you will be
surprised to learn how useful they will be
in the ordinary walks of life. If the aver
age man were asked if he used CamOufiage
he would probably admit he did. But he
would have in mind only the figurative
and humorous sense in which the word is
used-meaning that we fool people or that
we bluff them or cover up our tracks. But
when It comes to the straight purpose Of
camOufiage, deceiVing the eye, doubt if he
realizes how often he uses it. and, still less,
how of.eH he could use it TO advantage.
To begin with, color has more to do
with size than you think. Some colors

Assistant Professor of Fine Arts, Teachers
College, Columbia University.
TN 1909 an American artist, Mr. Abbott
Thayer, and his brother, naturalist,
= published a book on "Concealing Color
alton" which dealt with the laws of light,
color and pattern as applied by nature to
birds and animals, so that they become
partly or completely invisible. This book
is, so far as l know, the first one on the
science Of protective celebration.
In observations in woods and fields Mr.
Thayer learned that in certain lights birds
and animals appear to lose their solidity
end become fat Further observation
proved that those creatures which had this
power were dark on top and very light IN
demeath, and that they seemed to disap-
pear most completely when the light fell
on them from above. Mr.. Thayer took
photographs Of sphere darkened at
point on top where the most powerful light
falls and shaded to white where the
shadow is deepest. He found that this
sphere also lost its third dimension and
became fat when placed before a neutral
background This treatment of solids the
discoverer called counter shading" prin-
ciple which forms the basis Of that science
of protective celebration which we call
"camouflage"
Mr.. Thayer also points out that nature
has used not only counter shading to con-
ceal her brood from alien eyes, but has
even gone further than this in using imita-
tive color and initiative pattern. A deer
counter shaded and colored, standing mo-
tionIess before his natural background Of
gray and tan, is difficult to see; even more
so is the grouse, who adds to this counter
shading and color imitation a marvellous
initiative pattern Of the spots Of light and
dark of its own background made by the
leaves and twigs of its surroundings. The
rattlesnake is also marVelOusly disguised
in pale yellow and brown, the diamond
shaped spots being exactly those Of the
dead leaves over which IT crawls. These
cases are but three Of the countless eX-
amples nature has given us.
There seems to be much confusion con-
corning the origin Of the word "camou-
fage." There are rumors afoat that 1t
was the product of the underworld OF
Paris and came to its present position Of
secure responsibility through ways both
devious and obscure. There is also cur
rent an opinion that it was used to denote

If you want to appreciate
what lights and shadows con

There are little hollows under your cheek

the hat intended to
camouflage stoutness
should be fairly high

irregular in shape, but
never wide and, as
stated above, if the
stout lady is going to
wear anything that
shines it should be in
the head dress.
But with all slim
persons, as with the
house, if you extend
the caves the house
seems lower. The
hat can hardly be too
wide, particularly the
fiat and droopy va
riety; only care must
be exercised not to
make the face appear
too small by contrast.
The usual method is
TO so place ribbons or
flowers so as to carry
the light tones Of the
face up into the dark
of the hat.

Sarah Bernhard was a master of all the
arts and illusions of CamOU1age. No one
who has ever seen her will forget the i'm
preston of youth she gave. II is char
acteTistic of her that with the loss of the
fine long lines of youth about the neck
and shoulders she began to extend the
collars themselves, sometimes well above
the ears, and thus carry the lines I'D and
keep them youthful During the last years
OF her life on the stage she was never
seen with a neckdress Of this descrip-
ton.
There are some stage people who are
very particular about whom they are seen
with. A leading man never plays with a
woman taller than he, and so it goes. We
are all at it, from the maid who arrange
a short supply Of fruit on the table centre
to look like enough, to the great general
who disposes his troops in such a way
as to deceive his enemy.
