LINEN
Linen Lore
25 am important item in every home and deserves the most careful treatment if it is to have is long and useful life. This especially true just now owing to the rising, cost of new material.
When buying new linen hold it up to the light so that any undesirable knots or broken threads will be readily seen.
Note also that the trends in first quality linen criss-cross evenly and run straight neross from one side to the other,
Another test for good linen is to give it a sharp tug in alternate direc- tions without fearing it.
Good union cloth which is linen mixed with hemp is splendid for sheets owing to its wearing qualities, To test its quality, fold it over and then run the finger-nail along the crease which will appear quite faint when the fabric is again opened out If the material is a good one.
SLIM STYLES
TUE fact that you are obliged to
discriminate in your choice of styles if you are "not-so-silm" is to Rome extent an advantage, for this necessity for careful consideration is a very great help ih acquiring the clothes-sense that puts you la the
runks of the well-dressed.
If you have so ample a figure that you wisely refrain from certain ex- treme fushions, do not allow your- self to be unduly timid or conserva- tive, There
good styles are many that can be so cleverly modified that they are quite as well suited to the stout woman as to her slender sister.
Nothing Shiny
Nover buy shiny materials for your frocks or sults. If you are aiming at slimmer effect, Dull-surfaced fabric, in black or neutral shade, will prevent your figure being too dearly outlined. For the name object of camouflage, give your preference to plain materials rather than to those bearing
Stripes, large patterns, however, are a good choice, especially il you see that they are narrow, and that their direction is up and down, or diagonal. The effect
of stripes strategically used is so definitely slim- ming that you will wear your striped suit or summer frock with, a Bring condence hitherto unknown.
Skirt-liems,_we_are_warned, are to. be worn higher, but use your dis- crimination, and, ignoring the deeree et aliortness, wear your skirt at the length that seems to look right for you, and thai will not be extremely brief,
11 you are decidedly round In face, be wise and pass by the very tiny, brimless hat. If you are tall in pro- -portion- to your Inches, choose a no- del that is wide rather than high. and should you be both plump and short you will find that a hut with some height puts you in love with your looks.
Nothing Tight
An easy fit is essential if you are wear your clothes with grace as well as comfort. An appearance of being squeezed into frock, coat, shoes, or gloves, fur from disguising plump- ness, only draws attention to it.
In the case of evening frocks, you may score over your slender sisters by having neck and arms Just nicely rounded, But, supposing that you have exceeded this degree of plump- ness, be discreet and have long sleeves to your frack, or wear one of those becoming sleeved contees,
Choose your clothes cleverly, and you need never suffer from the over- stout complex. Let the dress and style help you to be slim.,
