But the frock entirely of figured material is not &0 “slim” as the frock that combines plain material with the figured. The model shown in the sketch is cleverly contrived to minimize the effect of a too ample fig- ure. It is of figured chiffon with solid black chiffon To admonish the woman with heavy arms not to wear short sleeves seems like advice too simple to repeat. Yet plenty of women need it. This season there is authority for either sort of sleeves and the too fat arm gains nothing by heing shown. There is less choice in the matter of skirts—for long skirts still seer dowdy. How- ever, rometh:n can be gained by an uneven hem line, and for evening wear | the woman with too solid ankles should wear one of the new draped frocks that help greatly to minimi the effect of this defect.
