When we proudly boast of our American type ft ty you we are holding up for the jadmiration of the world And you who are built over those Unes can find clothes to fit you in every ehop, for in the modern clothes it is \eo much the shoulder line that guides ‘the fit. Once you have perfection there, you have established perfection for the rest of the costume. You need not wonder whether the lines will hang, tight. They do that quite automati- cally for you But lest you acquire a swelled head after all this talk about your own per- fection, right here you muat noti @ome pitfalls which lie in walt for you in case you take too much for granted After all, just as is true with any other type, you are subject to certain restric- tions, You can't have everything. And like many more of us you are ap: fo want to wear the clothes that suit you least well. ‘here is something perverse #bout the human animal fehich makes it long to wear clothes that were really meant for some other berson When dered, &¢ a rl is of that equare-shout!- fetl trong build, she looks or very best in athletic clothes. On Aprseback she is wonderful. In a golf @uit she attains the height of he perfection a in knickers she is ir- resistible. | But, now, coming down to ordinary, avery: affairs which confront all ff us whether broad or narrow of houlders, what shall she wear as a teady thing? Well, let her carry into @veryday life as far as she can that {deal of the sports woman, ‘The. top eoat in the picture is one fine ex- mple. That girl looks well dressed r any daytime occasion, and since tho coat suits her type so splendidly he can carry it into many another , occasion for which it might not have been destined. ‘Tae girl who is in business will find > Miter emis sort of coat a real boon to her The feel of it is good to and she sends forth a radiance of her knowledge of her own we'll- ed appearance.

This coat is only a suggestion of the type of street clothes that best suit the girl with square shoulders. The sport suit—one of those faseinating tweeds--is her natural element. She car it off splendidly and she makes ev one who sees her long for one exactly like it. She is the American who fits these ideal American clothes, so chic in line and so well tailored in appearance Let her not neglect the colorful wool scarfs that twine so becomingtly about the throat, that add to the ce of her womanliness, that ada @ touch of color to make her eyes glow and her skin shine. At the Horse Show there was the smartest girl leaning over the fence intent upon the performance. She was dressed tn typical sport suit of delicate blue plaid heather mixture, and she wore With that a pinkish woo! scarf woven. with one of those real open meshes. Since the plaid in the suit was a dull pink, the pink scarf was beautiful with it, And then she wore the dear- est little gray blue felt hat pulled down over her ears. She was one of the brightest spots seen at the show, and everything about her costume was done in the simplest possible manner. But she was the type to do this sort of dressing well, and she was wise enough to stick to it re- gardless of the fact that many of the other women there were dressed in afternoon clothes of silks and satins, to say nothing of the monkey, fur. A-girl of this type is lovely in those mannish silk tailored shirt waists, which are, after all, the only type of waist that can adequately accompany the sport clothes, But she and her own particular clothes are not rele- gated to the open country any more. No, indeed, they are just as popular on Fifth Avenue as ever they were in sporting centres. ‘The fact 1s she has been so good looking in her own. olothes that she has brought the fashion from the country to the city, and there it looks as though It is going to stay. For the present, at any rate, let her make the most’ of the fashion. Sweaters are good for this type of , and in all the beautiful colors they come in.
