IF YOU ARE TALL

RECOGNISE THE FACT. AND DRESS ACCORDINGLY'. I That little coat you arc having made I to match your new afternoon dress, see l that it conies well below the hips and cuts your figure at the right place. It may be the mode to have a long evening dress reaching below your ankles, but you’ll be much more satisfied with the reflection in the mirror on the night if you choose an uneven hemline. Nobody but a tall woman can wear this stylo of dress so successfully. It lends dignity- and poise, without adding length to those few extra inches. And your shoes. Whether for aftetnoou or evening wear, have them smart. Don’t resolutely push away that dainty pair you arc being shown, and ask for flat heels! They will certainly decrease your height by an inch or even two, but your carriage will be affected and you will appear all feet. Throw back your head and shoulders and carry your extra inches with pride! For You Alone. And your hats, You are lucky, for the present day fashion is for you, and you alone. How delightfully you can carry off a large hat! Well, surely your mirror tells you that! So wear them while you can, the larger the hat the shorter you’ll look. And whether we are short or tall, it is the small things in dress that matter. Know your type, and stick to it, and ; the tout cnsamble—which, after all, is I the most important thing—will always , be charming.
