By Margery Wells. Conaright. 1021, by tbe Prem Publishing Co. Pre ET hie ‘Now York vening World.) HE girl with shoulders that droop stands out most particu- lagly as an individual type $n this modern day. If sho has any thought of making her clothes look as though they re- motely belonged to her, then she has before her the task of studying dili- gently that line along her neck and shoulder, Because her type diverges from the usually accepted figure of the day, she is eminently more inter- esting as an individual, But In order to make her personality effective she has to spend valuable moments of at- tention upon that shoulder line. It is from the shoulder that all tha frocks take thelr cue to hang ‘prop erly. All of the modern dresses are those which swing from that point, the waistline being a. mera detail on the downward path. Now look at the shoulder subject for a moment. If a square shouldered frock is placed upon a sloping shouldered girl the result is something fiendish to con- template. The lines that should fall horizontally without any compromise then droop with a sort of inward curve toward the centre of the frock. This is anything but beautiful—any- thing twit what it was meant to be, and if the designer of that gown should meet it walking abroad posed upon sloping shoulders, she would be Hable to a fainting fit at once. Noth- ing can so wreck the art of her original intentions 9s this attempted union of straight nes and sloping lines. . Many times the matter of adjust'n> @ equare-shouldered dress to shoul- ders of te opposite inclination is ply accomplished. The taking in of a seam often does the trick impercept- Sbly well. ready-made clothes when looks But there are times with this much like an On tho tailored the changing of = shoulder lir nts a problem a'~ most unsolvable, for immediately upow the changing of the shoulder line the sleeve is thrown out of gear and the whole coat must practically be torn to pieces in order to make one seain harmon‘ze with the next one. Ona softer dress with less conspicuous seamings the adjustrent is not 8» Alfficult. Beware—you of the sloping shoul- ders—of the saleswoman who pats your shoulders lovingly and assures you that the fit is perfect. She knows What the alteration charges would be nd how the alteration “hand” would Aerate her for wishing the job in that ‘direction, So, she has an inborn fac- ulty for overlooking a wrong hang in that particular and she tries instinc~ tively to draw your attention to other and less harassing matters. The trimming of the gleeves offers an easy side track or the fit of the girdle in the back. ‘But you, having made up your mind to notice the evils growing out of that drooping shoulder of yours, will blast ail her hopes of seliing the wrong thing to the wrong person when you polnt knowingly to those inward slanting wrinkles which Were not meant to be there. You will have an easier time with your dressing if you have your dresses and your su'ts made to order. Perhaps they will be a little more ex- pensive, and certainly you will be put to a lot of extra trouble, but it will pay you In the long run. You will ever have that poor, uncared-for feeling that psychically results from the wrongly ‘iting shoulder line. There is nothing under the sun which can give you a more forlorn feeling and there are many girls who just naturally have this feeling without mowing they have !t, und especially without. knowing that it is just a badly fitting shoulder line that gives it to them. ‘This sounds like a wild statement and many would wcoff at it—expe- cially men. As though a simple thing like a shoulder seam could make all that difference in a life! But just for fun look at any man who has un- wittingly placed a coat with square ghoulders on his own sloping ones, and if you have ever seen a more ~pitiful object then I should like to Brow about it Hla whole nature weems to droop along witb that illy fitting line The drooping shoulder is never more picturesqueiy clad than when wrapped about with a cape, ince this ia a season of cap you are right in the swing: cape in the picture. ‘grace is a thing that is notice- but it would not bo nearly $0 lovely on any moro athletically square shoulders.

It is most beautiful when decked in soft fichus and fall- ing frills about the neck and throat. These things are its own tri char- acter: For evening the sloping shoul- dered girl can wear those frocks which have a tendency to fall off the shoulders, showing that lovely droop- ing curve most advantageously. These dresses are called “trying,” but not for her. They offer her a golden op- portunity to shine where others fall.

As Peggy glanced at Tom Minton she thought Marion ought to flatter her a bit for asking her to go out with this tall, lanky youth with eed hair, Bill Carver was biond and rather imposing but Peggy knew that, of course, Tom would be wished upon her since he was Marion's cousin and cousins are not in the habit of pairing off. “Bill and I are from Chicago,” vol- unteered Tom as they started to walk from 8ist Street, Washington Heights, down to the theatre they were to see a semi. and picture performance. “We're here for a business firm, and, take it from me, New York is a great town.” For several blocks he raved about New York and its wonders, from the Woolworth Building to the Hall of Fame, which he had just visited. Pegsy tripped along beside him and watched Marion and Bill Carver with Tom Minton was the type of man she despised. He was awkward, ego- tistical and slangy. Bill Carver was a good dresser, polished and cour- teous. In the theatre Bill Carver arranged it so that he sat between Marion and Peggy. Several of the latter's keen remarks attracted his attention, and presently Peggy and Bill did all the whispering and the laughing, while the two cousins sat alone and de- jected, “We ought to be ashamed of our- selves," whispered Bill. “You jolly old Tom along for a few seconds ant I'll cheer up Marion.’ But presently their heads were to- gether again and all the fun of the evening seemed to be centred about them. Going home they stopped in an ice cream parlor, and there, over maple nut sundaes, Peggy and Bill abandoned, all efforts to entertain Marion and Tom Minton and made their fun and repartee a tete-a-tete affair, Peasy was half surprised at her- self, but every time she looked at Tom Minton she felt reassured that after all she was justified in paying attention to young Carver. “If Marion Minton thinks she can wish her great, lumbering cousin upon me for a who!e evening while she enjoys the company of a good-looking, jolly young man, I'll show her a thing or two,” thought Pegey. “After all, that old saying about ‘All's fair in love and war’ is true.” At the thought of love Peggy's heart beat just a trifle faster. This wasn't love. Of course she didn't care for this Bill Carver. What would Harrison Townley or Billy Bracton think of her ‘f they could see her In her gay ved hat laughing and cutting up with this out-of-town man?

Peggy nodded assent. “If you hadn't wora your monkey fur hat perhaps you wouldn't have been quite so silly," whispered Marion. “T told you to look out for me," laughed Marion as she disappeared in tho hall way of her apartinent (To-Morrow—A Ride on the Bus.)

N reviewing a past love affair, a woman wonders, with a shiver, “How | could I ever have cared for him?" A man reflects, with a smirk, “Well, she certainly was crazy about me!” A young man dreams of melting some female iceberg with the lava of his love, but as he grows older he realizes that a lot of time may be saved it no melting is necessary. We hear less than formerly about self-determination, but, judging by the number of anti-fat contests, the cause of sylph-determination has plenty of devoted adherents, Home Is a yastly overestimated spot—the supplies are forever giving out, the service is Ukewise, and mother's pocketbook !s ditto. What most of us mean by “forgiveness” is merely the suspended sentence.
