The “fat” or ‘big woman or the little fufty ruffles, baby type of } woman? ° pf) When it comes to holding down a }, wood fat job, rising to the head of your profession or being proprietor of an enterprising business, which woman has the advantage, the big woman or the littie woman? “The ‘fat’ woman or the tall woman every time,” says Mrs. Elizabeth Bears, President of the New York League of Business and Professional Women and Director of the Women's Activities Exhibit at the Commodore Hotel last week. “It really is sur- prising what the big, portly, all-pow- erful woman can ‘put over.’ “There is something about a big woman which commands attention at once. Her very physical stability “The big woman improperly dressed becomes a laughing stock.” Tends force acter, She | and dignity, a people, ing of them and people and strength to her char- & more nutural poise better to understand- approach usually a better seem to have confidence in h er size—but she must Wear the right clothes.”’ “Why? “Because the big woman at- tracts attention to herself the mo- ment she enters a room or an of - fice, and if she is well groomed and appropriately gowned she holds that attention, but if she is shabby or dressed in the clothes Intended for a small woman she loses the attention and the power that her size command: We were standing in the centre of the great ballroom at the Commodore where the Women's Activities Exhib- {t was at its helght. Clever business women were established in booths all about us displaying their success as both business and professional women. Mrs. Sears swept her arm about the room us she sald, “Look for yourself; do you notice that most of these women are large, capable- Jooking women? Are they the timid, smiling, little meek women? No, they are women who are all at least over five feet, and while I wouldn't dare call any of them fat, they are all a yather plump, well-fed group.” “Then is it a matter of brains or size that accounts for success?’ I asked. “I told you that we big women can get away with a great many things,"" know yourself that world they are handicapped beginuings. in A large, good looking he much easiew’ Men seem to have con- fidence in a big fellow. i hor personality. “A tall secretary meets people with much more grace and poise than a little, fluffy type of girl, “A good-sized woman at the bar er tn any profession makes a bet- ter impression than a little baby woman who looke ae if she needed a chair to stand upon, And the woman who is conduoting her own fusinceg in any line who is big ‘and prosperous looking certainly laughed Mrs. Sears, thus avoiding the necessity of committing herself.

One particular case stapds out distinctly in my mind. A splendid opening for a saleswoman and buyer was vacant and one of the executives of the firm Suggested a small woman who was exceedingly capable and bright. But the other tives all shook their heads with a ‘She's’ tod small; my word, man, we want a full sized woman.

And that is where they make the mistake of their lives. They bring out all the awkward features of their size and because they know their clothes are not fitted for them or to them they are self-conscious and love their magnetic force and pos tiveness.
