HOW TO LOOK SLIM—

WHEN YOU AREN’T PARTICULARLY Don't wear clothes which are conspicuous. For you are the well-cut quieter modes. Don’t cram yourself into a too-tight corset or a too-small brassiere. This gives a matronly effect, and it is better to look a rather plump girl than a stout matron. Don’t wear too-fancy or strap shoes. Court shoes that give a long, graceful line to the whole leg are best. Don’t go in for large designs or too large expanses of plain materials. The small patterns are right for you. Don’t wear too loose things; they add apparent size. Have your things more or less shaped, but not too tighJt. Don’t wear beads, bands, or necklaces tight round your throat; these will make your neck seem squat, while a longer string will lengthen the neckline. Don’t wear your skirts too short, however nice your legs, or you will look top-heavy. Remember the newest uneven hem-line is a friend indeed ! Don’t wear too light-coloured stockings with black or dark shoes; keep shoes and stockings much the same shade, for that gives another graceful, unbroken line. Don’t forget your daily dozen—or the weighing-machine!
