WHAT ABOUT
YOUR FIGURE

Are you in proportion? ' If any
one should put that question to "a
number of women, probably nine out
of ten would say. "Of course I am"
with that I wonder what you mean"
expression on their faces In reality,
they are not in proportion at all
hardly any one is. for that matter.
OF course, when one has a very
small head or enormous feet, every
body notices it; they just can't help
1t. But because you are not one of
the extreme cases, it doesn't say you
remarka bly, beautiful, you know!
Beauty is d thing of lines and color.
If our lines We're right, then we'd be
wonderful to behold. even if our
coloring left much to be desired You
should study your figure so well that
in choosing your clothes, you would
know just what salts you best and
what to avoid. You should have your
defects well ~ misd and seek to
remedy them as faA as possible by
your manner of dress.
If your head IS large in proportion
to your body, then you must wear
your hair as tight possible. Choose
small hats, such as toques. turbans
and hats with close-ftting crowns.
Should your shoulders be rather
I too broad for the rest of your figure,
keep the shoulder lines well up in the
coats and blouses. Never have one
with the shoulder lines coming down
! or with magyar sleeves, unless they
are cut with very little ful1ness. If pos
sible, have your skirts made with
bunchy hips.
If your feet have grown more than
you think they should. do not make
the sad mistake of trying to crowd
them into shoes that are two or three
! sizes too small for them. That only
makes you SO miserable it shows in
/ every step you take. Get shoes that
/ are plain and either black or the very
! darkest shades of brown. Never get
! white or Eght-colored shoes. for they
] have tendency to make small feet
/ look large. Be sure they fl comfort
ably, so you can have an easy, natural
walk, tn ereby not calling attention to
your big feet by hobbling painfully
! along.
I For every fault in the lines of your
i figure, there is something that can be
done to counteract it in the. way OF
| dressing. You must first realize what
! this defect is, and then go about the
, ways and means of making it less no
| ticeable. You see, it pays to find out
what really is wrong with your figure
j if you want to look your best.

ADVICE TO THE
LOVELORN
By Beatrice Fairfax
The Secret Marriage.
,ar Miss airfay. Fnr civ =

Inc secret
Dear Miss Fairfax: For six months
have been going out with a young
man of %. four years my senior.
He now wants to be married N
court on the 20. IT,, not being in po-
sition to have a home at the present
time. He promises me that our mar
riage will be publicly announced in
two years, this at my request, which
time have given him to make good.
My parents and several of my girl
friends object to him, but I dearly
my chum and he his brother as wit
nounced no one will be the wiser.
I know it would grieve my mother
were she made aware of my con-
templated act, as she continually ad-
viseS lne to give him up, thinking I
am too good for him.
Do You think it advisable for me
to marry him? He refuses absolutely
to wait the two years to be married
publicly, saying that it will show my
true love for him if I take him now
in the face of all opposition. Alice.
wouldn't mind this whole situa-
ton so much if it weren't for your
youth. Really you aren't old enough
to so through the experience you are
planning, for yourself. Since your
mother and your friends unite in dis
liking this young man there must be
something pretty evidently wrong
about him. There is nothing radically
wrong about the secrecy of this idea,
but don't like the way he is forcing
your hand nory ct the lack of self
control he shows in refusing to wait
and win over those you love SO that
your marriage won't start so heavily
handicapped.
