Women are not any thinner than they used to be. They merely look thinner and do not fill out the hol lows in their figures as they did in days when it was fashionable to be well-roundtd.
 Such is the conclusion of The Eve ming Standard, which refuses to be alarmed over the statement of Sir Bruce Porter, the Well-kno"n sur 'geon. that girls are less solidly built than their grandmothers.
 Tt is probable" says The Evening Standard, that girls are on the whole better built than their mothers were, though not nearly so well built as their mothers seemed. When the Gibson girl craze was on al the end of the last century it was easy for a weedy girl to give the impression of possessing lovely curves, but the present fashion allows no Illusions. '
