the glance around the figure like
stripes on top. Avoid high round
necklines and over-abundance OF

Skirts with controlled fullness
that give slim, straight lines are
better than flares. Contrast color
is best used sparingly to highlight
a neckline or waist, but avoid it at
the waistline Vertical tucking is
one device used by dressmakers TO
give a long slim look, and this
trick is ornamental and attractive

termine the situation in which
you find yourself. Any num-
Der of people go all through
life not knowing whether they
love the man of their choice.
Then some, later in life find
that they did not love the
man (or woman) they married
and finally end in the divorce
court. Love sets upon pedes-
tai an ideal and this ideal is
formulated in your very own
mind, making you blind to
everyone else except that one
person. Nc one else looks or
acts the same as he. When he
slips from that pedestal on
which only you placed him,
you find yourself making ex-
cuses for him and loving him
just as much or maybe more,
if possible. only when you
set him up again, you lower the
pedestal on winch you placed
him at first.
You are working within your
own mind and no one knows
to what extent y$r anxiety
and tears will flow, as long as

pect unhappiness. Don't wear
