IF YOU ARE SHORT

Don’t cut your figure by wearing a wide, coloured belt.' Don’t wear a long jumper of one material with an abbreviated skirt of another. Don’t choose an elaborate picture frock because the stylo suits your tall friend. It will only make you look overloaded and feel uncomfortable. Don’t wear a giant bunch of flowers on tho shoulder or waistline of your frock. It will draw attention to your height and will look out of proportion with the rest’ of your clothes. If you want to wear something frivolous, buy a single real gardenia or carnation, or wear one of the new choker necklaces of disc beads. Don’t wear.a coat with a largo collar of long-haired fur which will envelop your face. Imitation beaver or dyed squirrel are more becoming and are smarter on the now tweeds. Don’t indulge in picture hats x with much and elaborate trimming. If you must have a brim, let it be just a mere suspicion at tho front and back, with a measurement 'of atyout one and a half inches at the’ sides. Eemember that small hats are very much smarter on small people. Don’t wear figured materials unless you are a sylph. And if you are ono, choose small and dainty flower patterns or polka dots. Don’t buy elaborate shoes with largo buckles or jewelled heels unless you can wear a size three. Don’t choose anything which isn’t in proportion to your size, and you’ll have no cause to envy your • more stately sister.
