TYPE A REAL PROBLEM

We know that there are many types of women who must assimilate each new modo in an individual way, There are tall, slender women and tall, full-figured women, and so on

down through the list to tiny women who can buy to good advantage in the junior section. But fashion has fact into not always taken this consideration, for many years set- ting a single style for everybody, regardless of type.

Such a method of procedure was prohibitive in more ways than one, for lack of variety made individ uality impossible the while it result- ed in many sartorial tragedies, for the lines a slender woman found becoming were impossible for the larger woman, yet she had to make the best of them, and there were times when there was no best. All this has changed. We are поз almost overwhelmed with the variety that was, hitherto, wholly absent.

For the problem has become a question of knowing what not to woar, instead of finding a way to make the most of a limited choice. Dressing one's self becomingly means a process of elimination when the

impossible has been discarded, one may choose the best of what is left. And this can be done in every field sports, formal or Informal day- time clothes, or the picturesque and interesting evening mode.

General examples can be given, but individual rules must be formed. for each and every one of us. The blonde, the brunette, the woman with mouse-hued hair all are types, and there are types within each type. Figures vary far more generally than weight, and each Individual has some good point that she would stress and some bad point that she would hide. She herself must learn how these things can be done.
