GRACEFUL MODERN GIRLS
WOMAN'S RULES FOR KEEPING
THE NEW FIGURE.
How busy women can keep themselves healthy and beautiful was explained by Mrs Kathleen M. Bennett, addressing the Soroptimist Club in London recently,
In walking the toes abould point straight in front.
When sitting, a person should never hunch the shoulders, and the body should rest on the bones and not on the internal organs. "Our Queen gives us a perfect example of how a woman should stand,

PARIS, March 22nd. There can be only one delight grester than that offered to the athletic by winter. The following were the simple rules girça sports, and that is the joy offered to by Mrs. Bennett: Sit well, stand well, athletic and aesthetic alike of preparing walk well, and breathe well. Very few the wardrobe they will take with them people knew how to stand correctly, she when they set forth on a winter holiday.said, and if they did they would save The joy is enhanced when St. Moritz is themselves much pain, energy, and nerves." the chosen spot and the couturiers of When standing a person should keep the Paris the wizards who have prepared nobody erect, should never bend the knees, and should keep the chest slightly over many charming sports outfits for one to

There was a time, not so very long ago. when only English houses thought of de- signing models that were exclusively in tended for sports wear. But, since the war came to upset this old world and most of its ideas, Paris has taken to treat- ing models pour le sport, at firstand it," said Mrs. Bennett. She has the becalise an English clientèle deruanded a French clientèle them, then because demanded them in order to follow in the wake of their English cousins and then, finally, for the whole world for, by this time, Paris had improved en the fluffy, im- practicability of its first efforts and learnt how to turn out models that were every bit as practical as those of designers across the Channel, and infinitely smarter. To begin with, the French rarely favour the long trousers caught in with purces for ski-ing that figure in many an English suit. Instead, they give neat-cut knee breeches, to all their sports suits, whether for ski-ing, Ingeing, skating or curling, add thick woollen stockings, a second pair to roll down over the tops of the boots, and thus prevent the snow from working down into them, a cosy sweater, a scarf, cap and gloves, all of wool. and a heavy coat to cover the lot.
With such restricted gamut of elementals to play on, there was only one way of introducing a varying note of in. dividuality into models, and this was by means of colour. Winter sports suits, therefore, differ very little as far as cut nad detail is concerned, but when it comes to colour, there is as much difference between one sports suit and another, as there is between a négligé and an even ổng gown..!

I think the modern girl is perfectly beautiful, with her slim, straight figure, and none of these capital B's we used to baye in the old days, Mrs. Bennett con- cluded. It is delightful to watch her."
Dr. Rolleston, County Medical Officer of Peterborough, in his annual report says change in the female form, which formerly

For skating, there is very little differ- ence in the costume prescribed, except that it is considered necessary by the best to add skirt over the breeches. This secins to be de rigeur, and, as Mrs. Grundy is so very complaisant in the mat ter of ski-ing costumes, and further, and perhaps more important, as a skirt is far more becoming to a skater this rule of fashion is universally obeyed. Bit, it is such a short skirt that is added. It never reaches as far as the knees and, at its most ample expression can only be com pared to the pleated kilt of the high- Pander. It is generally fitted with deep box pleats, when it is not pleated all round, else much fulling, is introduced into the front by means of shirring, or One idea is to contrast, colours of 2 again. of pleats, so that a straight line is more or leas violent tone.

A well-known leader of fashion, set forth for Grindwald with a bright orange suit in her trunk, only to find that- she was not the only one who had chosen. this joyous colour, as a foil to the intense white of the snow.

Another idea, more favoured by those who prefer the complicated in life, is to. concoct a suit that is a mase of stripes, checks and geometrical lines generally, Many of the products of this regime are enough to make a cubist feel that his most strenuous effort is after all but a feeble break away from ancient traditions of line and colour. Others make their wear- ers look like so many fantastic figers sprung from their jungle home. And, as to the way in which all these patterned materials and accessories are, allied, to plain ones, the way in which one colour is contrasted with azother or one colour motif repeated half a dozen times over in each garment of the outft so na to
Some designers, particularly among the French, and a skirt to all their ski-in costumes, and, here again, pleats anil much concealed fullness is the order of the day. The susceptibilities of some are satished merely by the addition of four panels that hang down back, front and sides, covering up the too-masculine breeches except when the wearer makes an extra rigorous stride.
