FROCKS THAT MAKE YOU TALL AND SLIM
The silhouette every woman
wants won't be hard to get this season because of the new fashions' tricky lines
LARCE, SQUARE composi hon buttons trim the front of o dark green frock which was de- signed to make the figure appear slim and tall. The white wing sleeve treatment is very new, and it matches the white band used to outline the neck and surplice closing.
To look very tall and quite slim is every woman's aim this year. The new fashions. do their best to help you achieve the coveted silhouette.
Straight kits with unobtrusive pleats and delicate seaming generously give Grat place to wall-waist emphasis. They aik no part of the glory inanghign, this year) and are content in serve as an inconspicuous cult for the intricate, muchly emphasized necklines and shoulden. And by so doing they add height to the silhouette and slimness to hips and thighs, Shoulders that late padded just a little bit, epaulettes, capes and huge collars nil take a turn at broadening, shoulders to make hips look more slender,
Surplice closings, always flattering, com trasting color bindings and all manner of neck- wear detract attention from the skirt and further the emphasis above-the-waist movement.
Skirt lengths for daytime costumes are the same length as last year.

Wine, blackberry, green, brown, dark blua and eel gray are good, too.
Remember that ribbed and novelty woven. materials are more fashionable than plain ones. Have the ribs run up and down. That idea, too, adds height to the figure...
Naturally, the hats to go with these street frocks are high crowned. No use building up the greater height idea in a dress and then lor. getting about it when you select a hat.
Even shoes seem to have grown up. Ox- fords for street wear are higher than ever.. In fact, some of them almost cover the ankle.
Double-breasted closings are, as always, pretty high styled. They are slim and straight and, instead of having buttons on the front, some of them have extraordinary clips and huge buckle fastenings.
Along with the vogue for plain colored dresses, there is a rising popularity for plaids" and checks. Just as some women simply can't get along without one polka-dotted frock in- the wardrobe, others like to have one plaid, dress each season.
Many dresses have horizontal, rather than vertical, seams at the shoulders. Sometimes they extend all the way down the sleeves to the wrists...

Accessories are all-important.
Don't 'mist
the fabric gloves. They can be made of the same material as your dress or identically match your hat. Bags can do the same thing.
