clothes for your type is not always
easy. Style is more than just what
you see in the stores-style includes
you appearance in the clothes. A dress
that may be high fashion on Mrs. Tall
and Lovely is dowdy looking on Mrs.
Short and Squat. I saw an outstanding
eample of this no long ago.
A certain prominent woman in Min
neapolis was wearing a stunning two
piece silk suit This woman was petite,
and her figure beautifully curved.
Being one of the city's fashion leaders,
her clothes are often copied by other
women. The particular costume I
speak of-was The woman who copied
it was about four inches taller and had
straight line figure somewhat on the
scrawny side of things. The suit that
looked chic and Partisan on the little
curved figure hung like Shapeless sack
on the taller thin woman and had no
style value whatsoever.
Women should study their type and
not buy a frock simply because it is
| in fashion, or because it looks well on
some friend.
The woman who is not very tall
should always emphasize straight up
and down lines, being sure that they
are soft and draped rather than
starched and jutting. She should not
wear hats with huge brims. Her belts
should be narrow and of Self-material
rather than wide and of contrasting
color. Dark colors will make her look
taller. If she goes in for prints, the
designs should be small.
The very tall woman should not
worry about her height, but take adj
vantage of the beauty and grace of long
slender lines Flared, circular or dirnd
skirts are lovely on the tall slender
woman So, too, are tailored suits anc
capeS. If the tall woman does want tt
seemingly cut her height, she SHOULD
wear two-piece frocks and dresses with
a broken silhouette that uses eros!
; lines to break the straight look. Thi!
woman can wear big hats and wids
belts, as well as costumes of contrast
ing color
The woman who wears glasses shoult
remember not to wear faddish clothes
not turbans nor hats that turn sharpl.
. off -the-face. This woman should wea
her hair softly around her face, choos,
brimmed hats and apply her makeup
with gentle hand.
There seems quite a possibility tina
: this summer we will need more rail-
protection for our clothes than in tn,
past several years From Amelia I'm
nitz, fashion director of NBC, come
this letter on rainy day toys and ruff
fled petticoats.
Sudden showers can be disastrous t,
summer clothes but NBC radio star
never let a little thing like the weathe
interfere with a smart appearance
. Peg La Contra, NBC singer, has tn
situation completely in hand! He
three-cornered, oiled silk kerchief TO
head or hat covering, goes into littl
square, oiled silk bag along with he
sliker and oiled silk gloves! Let tn

rain toys, even to gloves, in tiny pac

and very transparent SO that the brigh
colors of her prettieSt summer dresse
may shine through. Her sandal rub
bers are snapped into another case n
bigger than a vanity. 81 wear tn
oiled silk kerchief when I go sailing
too" said she, ito keep my hair from
getting wet with spray" AS for tn,
newest trick of all, the gloves, they'r
worn right over her white o. coloret
ones.
Even though she's beautiful, success
full and very young, Jean Dickinson
MICS soprano of the American Album
of Familiar Music" hasn't had he
head turned. She loves to shop ant
usually has some one else in her mind
The other day Jean found a gadget TO,
her father. It's Whisk-er comb. Tht
comb itself of tortoise shell folds up tt
half its length and slips inside a trim
black MORE case which has efficienr
little briStleS at one end for the pur
pose of brushing ones clothes. Incon
