FIGURE

HIS is for those who want to slim or improve their figures without taking exercise. One way or another there seems to be an effortless way of doing every- thing.

To connect your figure faults all you have to do in to go to almont any store and ask for the corsetting department. You can go in looking like the fat lady and come out if not a Joan Crawford, at least a really good figure of a womon.

But first let us get straight what is wrong. Do not judge your figure by weight alone. Proportions matter.

The figure which is large around the chest and hips can only be controlled if the bust is held up in its natural position. If bound down it spoils the waist-line and encourages a roll of fat, gives a thickened silhouette. → Some of the "foundation" garments I saw for bigger women are truly exercises in themselves. They hold the figure to its rightful shape, and in doing so not only improve the look, of you, they give your inside a better chance of health.

Great achievement of these things is that they are not boned. Light and washable,, they are designed to put you into shape and they do. Some of them look quite flip, and guy in flowered voiles. I prefer the plain bobycoloured ongs in faille and elasticity.

In this department the meaning of mass production has changed. It now defers to individual idiosyncrasies in a big way. Of the garments I've been talking about alone there are something like five hundred · differeșt combinations of measurements.

The way they discover what is good for you is fascinating. To me incomprehensible (but then it in mathematical, and I am still unable to do long division).

You give your hip, bust, and waist measurements, and the sales giri dials them on a cardboard chart and gets through to the number that will fit you. It never fails.

You may be top-heavy or four inches larger round the hips; they will straighten you up.

That is the beginning.... If you want to do well by yourself you must plan with equal care your general style of dressing, There la not room here to go into that, but remember always that ornamentation calls attention to, does not detract from, an over-full outline."

Over-dressing is responsible for more, spoiled figures than over-eating.
