-sketched in q washington shop.

How to make the most of figure
deficiencies and age limitations
with the right clothes was graphically
demonstrated last week by a clever
stylist in one Of our shops, who let q
group Of club women in on the Sc
crets of looking smart.
The "half-Size" woman was promi-
nently featured. First, she appeared
in gray fitted coat with French velour
hat also in gray, and when she removed
her coat she received lot of applause
on her lovely gray knitted two-piece
frock with bell sleeves and nicely de-
tailed neck and front closing For the
short woman inclined toward the
stout, with titan hair, this was an
| excellent selection. Her black acces-
sories could be worn with other outfits.
For the larger woman was shown q
fitted coat in brown nubby material
with large beaver collar crossed low
at the front and worn with a rust We
lour hat and rust-colored knitted
| dress. Much emphasis was placed on
the fact that although black is always
smart for the woman, she should not
eliminate colors entirely, for they often
give her a much younger appearance,
and usually her family prefer to see
her in colors than In too much somber
| black.
READED trims are among fashions
favorites and are excellent for the
woman. A black crepe afternoon frock
with its separate overblouse trimmed In
bands of black jet was well-liked in the
little fashion review mentioned above.
as was Chinese red beaded blouse
worn with a dinner length black skirt.
Velvet and lame we're received with
much applause. For the large woman,
plain black velvet formal gown with
v decolletage front and back is most
nattering. With deep red rose at
the point Of the V-line 1t is stunning,
A silver lame tunic over q floor length
black skirt made the woman with the
titan hair feel that the dress was Just
made for her, and her friends had the
same thought. This frock is shown in
the sketch above on an idealized figure.
The dinner dress at the right is Of
coronation blue with rhinestone
studded clips on either side of Q
shirred neckline and matching clips
| fastening the narrow belt below q high
waistline. This is the sort Of dress
the woman chooses who Is o Junior
size. 1t, is conservative and most
wearable for all sorts of occasions, and
yet not too youthful. The sleeves have
appliques Of blue velvet to match the
| neck binding and belt, and the back
Ii slashed deeply. With 1t Is shown .
short black velvet wrap, style that
is very becoming to the youthful size
and type Of woman.
A charming cocktail frock was shown
In green and silver lame, with its own
jacket over . metallic blouse. BY way
Of q surprise, there was shown . red,
white and blue formal gown for the
perfect figure which was patriotic and
dashing at the same time. Something
to remember for the inaugural festiv-
tiles later on. The gown was Of sap
phire blue satin with banding Of
fuchsia red across the top Of the
straight decollete and Q deep band Of
the same red at the hem. Rhinestone
straps over the shoulders furnished
the third color note, and the lovely
blond model was given . rousing ova-
tion.
