BEING FAT is REAL TRAGEDY
To Modern Woman 1t Is a Worry That
Frequently Leads to Ruined
Health and Insanity.

A fat man is usually jolly sort OF
an individual who accepts the world
as the same sort Of joke as the
world considers him. Girth, says the
New York Sun, may worry man oc-
casionally because it is an annoyance,
but with the modern woman 1t verges
upon tragedy. AS physicians-if they
would talk freely-can tell you, 1t is
a worry to them that frequently leads
to ruined health, insanity or the
grave.
1t is possible for man to grow
fat gracefully. At least he can sub
due his habits, stop running for
trains, give up his golf and spend
most of his time in ponderous poses.
His tailor can easily arrange his
clothing into well-known and accept
ed lines.
The case of the woman is different.
Fashion binds her as with a chain.
There are no stylish frocks for stout
women. The fashion Of today calls
for slim figures and trim ankles.
Waists and hips are taboo. There are
no sleeves capable of concealing over
f1eshed arms. Man can. adapt his
clothes to his figure, but woman must
adapt he" figure to the clothes, or else
shamelessly admit that she cannot
wear what is fashionable.
It was not always so. In another
generation the stout woman had well
defined place-the "dOwager type" 1t
was sometimes called. The woman
who made the best biscuits and
cooked the most savOry chicken was
always a rotund sort Of person who
never minded it when people came
unexpectedly around dinner time she
was the one children iocked to for
sympathy and the one who seemed
to make the world brighter wherever
she went.

peels off the outer veil of surface skin,
but so gently, gradually, there's no dis

not in patches, but evenly, in tiny par

one of captivating loveliness. One ounce
