RETRBR R | Parisienne Figure BY BETTY WAY. I have just recently returned from a trip through all the im- portant_countries of Europe. I was in Paris the fore part of July and again the last of August. The fall and winter styles had been created. The forerunners of these il styles were already to be seen on the street, in the cafes and theaters. The short skirt has passed, no matter how much some may re- gret it. Those who do not lower the skirt several inches will soon be entirely out of style. This is of more than passing interest to the corsetiere. It means || women who could do without corsets when wearing a short skirt. cannot do so with the || longer skirt. Furthermore, a || voung girl may get along with- out a corset for one or two sea- sons and not notice any serious ’] results thereafter in following the styles, but if she continues to so neglect herself she is sure to regret it the rest of her life. The foregoing is true of the Parisienne woman, who the past season has given herself up to the uncorseted figure and rubber corsets until she finds her petite figure of slender dimensions is gone. Something must be done at once. What? She wants to regain her former lines and still not sacrifice her comfort. To do this she is adopting a well designed garment ligl boned, which will mold the fig- 1 .ure and give poise of body. This feature is most important if she it ;g going to regain her youthful ‘' lines. Just here I would like to em- phasize the importance of the standing position and point out that the model selected should i have its purchase at the point most needed to help get proper | poise. The silhouette continues to be flat in the back, straight hip, and low bust. To accomplish the de- sired effect, models are shown \-. eliminating the front hose sup- i porters, which give the oppor- tunity of attaching them to the side-back, or directly center back. This arrangement of garters, as well as the new way of purchas. ing the garment on o |l keeps it from riding up even on figures inclined mllfim hips or swayha || Tdo not consider these mod- it ‘els extreme, but real corrective “ garments, [ The foundation lines are com- gleted by the fitting of the bras- | siere. Parisienne women have al- i i i I ready lengthened their skirts and back to corsets as de- I am pleased to say more im- portance has been placed upon the garments made for the school and college girl. I am featuring models for “each classification, the prep, the prom, freshman, sophomore, junior and senior, with great success. ker, secretary College Women's Club Opens Season Tomorrow The College Women's Club will formally open its season tomorraw afternoon at 4 o’clock, when the phy- sicians of the dlub will be the host- esses at a tea to Dr. Valerla H.
