DESIGNING FOR STOUT WOMEN
Large Figures May Now Be as Smart
In Appearance as Those OF
Slender Type.

Length Of line is the thing sought
by designers Of apparel for the stout
figure. Regardless Of the fact that a
casual glance at the feminine passer-
by on any smart thoroughfare would
lead one to conclude that the woman
with developed figure was decidedly
a thing of the past, 1t has been claimed
by firms specializing in clothes for
"stouts" that actual statistics prove
more than so per cent of the feminine
population belong in the "stout" class.
Time was when a woman Of larger
than normal size dared not select any
sort Of a plaid frock or even separate
skirt, when materials printed In large
designs or patterns were as carefully
avoided, and the poor unfortunate was
advised to always adhere to dark col
ors. so that she might be as inconspicu-
ous as possible.
Style designing has reached such q
ytage Of perfection that these things

IN SPORT FRoCKS.
French TWeeds Vie With British
and American Fabrics.
Navy Blue Serge, Poiret Twill or Trl
eotine Make Stronger Appeal
Than Usual.

We can find good French precedent
for the use Of sport frocks and suits
of tweed, and French tweeds Of lovely
texture have been imported to COM
pete with tweeds If British or Amer
ican production The idea of a tweed
costume all in the same material does
not appeal forcibly to the mind of the
French designer. He prefers the other
striped or checked with the same mix
ture and some contrasting tone. He
then makes skirt of the plain fabric
and jacket or cape of the check. or
he uses the check or stripe for the
skirt and the plain material for the
jacket. Often simply cut cape takes
the place Of the coat and In place of
the skirt is a chemise frock. So
among the imported French tweeds
there is almost always a plain fabric
and one of stripes or checks. A rose
and gray-checked tweed will be used
with rose mixture tweed. There are
green and tan mixtures gray and black
and blue and tan.
Navy blue In Serge, poiret twill or
