"STYLISH STOUTS"

II would rather admit that l am
stout and be correctly fitted than fool
myself into wearing the wrong clothes
that only make me look stouter than l
really am" said one wise shopper.
1t Is a common wall going up from
stout women that the styles are all
made for the slender woman, and that
no attention Is paid to them. But there
are many things which you can do for
yourself to keep you from looking
dare say it?-fat.
Most women who are too stout make
the mistake of thinking that the tight
er they wear their clothes the better
they will appear. This Is preposter-
GUS idea, for when carried to extremes,
1t only makes them look like something
~trussed." Rather should the exces
sive flesh be disguised by soft fullness.
And having heard or read somewhere
that stripes make a person look slen-
der, they make the mistake Of choos-
ing wide stripes. The stripes should
be fine and indistlnct rather than
showing any definite color or line. The
cardinal point for every stout woman
to keep In mind Is that up-and-down
lines give slenderness, and round-and-
round lines emphasize thickness. II
ought not to be necessary to warn
her against tunIc skirts. or those with
ruffies, shrring, and excessive cross
wise trimming, and yet we see the
walking need Of such advice on the
streets every day.
Sleeves for the stout woman should
be plain. rnd while not so large as to
accentuate the width Of the figure.
should be loose enough to conceal the
super-abundant flesh. The under arm
should be close. though "easy fitting"
Cuffs that turn back serve to call at
tention to the short, fat arm.
II your neck is short and thick, you
should not wear "choker" collars Of
any kind. The v-neckline is your best
boon. and II lace or trimming Is used
It should blend In with the blouse so
that II is practically lost to the eye.
In fact, trimming must always be Of q
harmonizing rather than a contrasting
color; and on no condition must q
collar or a belt boldly attract the eye
Unbroken line from neck to hem
therein lies your salvation.
Black and all very dark colors make
q figure appear smaller. Avoid blousy,
large-ngured fabrics and big brocades.
In selecting material for garments, pay
especial attention to the sheen and I'm
ish. stiff fabrics having glossy. bril-
liant surface attract attention and
make the nrurs appear larger, while
soft, plIable fabrics in dull colors make
the figure look smaller.
