New York. Jan. S.-You have. Of course. your own individual dress problems. But they have their limits
 If you are thin you don't have to worry about concealing your hips and if you are stout ron need not disturb your calm by speculation as to whether your shouldefblades will wears through your frock or not.
 But what of one poor man who has to cope with every womau's problems and make eacn one look like what she isn't?
 Such an expert in human geometry is Charles Le Maire. who designs costumes for many Of the most dag zling reviews and stage productions Of the day. and who makes Venuses 10 order.
 To him 100 women arc just iGn problems in lines. angles and curves. And from him l learned the comfort ing bit of news that there arc no perfect figures-iust perfect Illusions. Some of his discoveries may help you. too.
 ''One Of the most common defects in women is uneven shoulders" he tells me. Those of exactly the same height rarely live on the same woman. To disguise that give each shoulder a different treatment Let a jab0t Of lace or a bit of embrui- dery trail over only one side. It will draw all the attention to that side and the other shoulder may be as high or as low as nature made it.
 Hide flre Hips
 '~The same rule applies tO hips. They rarely match. But a drapery or ornament on one side only keeps the situation from becoming a matter of general kncwiedge. If your hips are very wide. huge bow effect on one side will be fatfering or a slightly bounant line will prove misleading"
 II you are stout. don't pin yOuF faith to shiny black satin.
