FIGURE CONTROL IS MOST IMPORTANT

"T have never seen anywbere such uice wholesome capable girls as the New Zealanders," says a notable London stylist, while on a visit to New Zealand. "I am very taken with their freshness, which is such a change to one so long accustomed to the jaded artificiality or sophistication of the European and American girls. But there is one thing I do notice, a most glaring fault — what on earth do they do to their figures? At least I think it is a case of what they don't do — they dOn't wear corsets." And so it appears, to gain that finished appearance that is so very noticeable among the English girls, we must lirst attend to our figures. Thore seems to be too much of tho idca that Ihe girdle is the acme of control. If you are of Ihe sporting sturdy type, and most New Zealand girls are, then a scant girdle has not sufficient strength to control those curves. Among our own smart set, there are very few girls who realise the importance of a foundation garment. A plinky evening frock over an , obviously uncorseted — or just as bad, obviously corseted figure will spoil the entire silhouette. So that cuts out wearing your sport or even afternoon garment under close fitting frocks. And no>v for a few hints in a beautiful bosom. Very few New Zealand girls realise that the line from the net- 1; to ihe waist is one of the most importaivc lines of a woman's Jiguve. A.11 the kadmg stores stoek tlie most advaneed uplh'ts, but only onc girl in ten wears tlie exact and eorreet bi'assiere. An uplift brassiere if fit-ted correctly not only give firm beautifnlly sculptured lines but it is also most beneficial to to health. The «Ne\v Zealand corsnts and brassieres are equal to anything that c'an be bouglit in Lodon or Paris— so there is no excuse why you sliouldn't havo just as perfeet a figure as a London manneqUin. Select a, good store — malce friends A'ilh the corset specialist, ehat your problems over, and above all rospect her advice, she understands your figure problem much bctler than you do»
