STAY SLIM AS YOU ARE.

Slim people who will not succumb to the control of even a mild smootli-me-down except for special occasions takewarning ! (writes an observer on ladies’ fashions). Going without corsets now may mean middle-aged mps, long before vou’re ready for them. Like so many, many other misguided young women, vou may take your figure, like your looks, for granted, only to find by the time vou have reached forty you have neither. It is all veiy well to protest, “But T don’t need corsets.” We tell you candidly and emphatically this—though you he a rentable Venus, and as slim as a wraith, you do need Porsots! The inevitable fcmale tendency is to spread and spread. Occupations that keep you sitting at a desk all day encourage it. But even it you’re an outdoor girl, you must wear corsets constantly, if vou would keep your figure slim and nrettv as it is. And another thing. No matter how clever you are, the new frool.s you plan to make are going to look ever so much smarter if you’re: properly corseted. Oliic in 1936 depends upon the smoothness of line. The human form positively is not smooth —it has the subtlest undulation's, that dressmakers call bulges. Frocks must fit and slinky dresses somehow look vulgar over-obv'oilsnruses. There’s not a single human figure that does not look letter in the new clothes with some suggestion of a foundation beneath to smooth the line. So, apart'fafrom keeping your figure young and beautiful and slim, smartness decrees “wear a corset, and have it fitted, or vo.i’U never have it correct for your figure type. Ihe marvellous new stretching satin g;rd es ■and woven lastex pan tees or girdles smooth the slimness into trimness with ease and utter freedom. And they positively won’t cramp your style at tennis golf or anything else. They re born for sport—and they improve a girl’s line out of all recognition.
