NATIVE STYLES ARE BEST Priceless Hints on Developing Shapely Figure, 'HOW TO KEEP DOWN "FLESH Madame Wade TeJs Her Audience, Correct Position for Sleeping and - How to Develop Hour Glass Figure. CHICAGO. March 2L (Special.) Revo lution has been proclaimed by the Chicago dressmakers In congress here for their semi-annual exhibition. The thralls of slavery to Paris styles have been thrown off, and the American modiste Is de clared to be a free and independent artist, with the right to life, liberty and her customers patronage, uninfluenced by ilFrench competition. Mme. Linda Ross TVaue, vice-president of the National 'Dressmakers' Association, announced the declaration of Independence yesterday. "We sec," she said, "that the yoke of Paris has been on our necks, figuratively, speaking, altogether too long. It is time for us to break away and create National j styles of our own. At next Fail's ex- i hlbit there probably will not be one Parisian model shown. We gain nothing from them except the conviction that our workmanship Is better than theirs. "Styles made here are better adapted to the American woman's figure and tem per than the French gowns. But until we take the law Into our own hands and refuse to' import gowns Parisian gowns at great expense, we will not be Ipvent tors and artists, but copyists, I How to Look SlimrThoug i Not. I Behind locked doors, with a. strict pro- j hibltlon placed on the presence of men, i Mme. Wade lectured to a large audience of women this afternoon on the proper methods of walking, sleeping and wear ing corsets, accompanying her theories with demonstrations. Among her dicta Tvere: "Sleep flat on the face, with the limbs stretched out straight. This keeps down the abdomen and double chin. Do not curl up like a hibernating groundhog. "Walk on the toes, not on the heels. Do not scrape the feet, but step along lightly. Try to avoid attracting attention to your feet, if you want them to seem small. "Any woman can have a shapely figure if she wears the right kind of a corset and puts it on properly. If you have a bad figure, blame yourself rather than the corset. Fasten th6 bottom catch of the corset first, and then mold it to your figure. After drawing the strings tight; exercise a little before fastening, all the catches. 'Cultivate Hour-Glass Figure. "You, . must have an hour-glass figure with an 16-lnch waist," said Madame Wade. "The proper waist measure Is 26 Inches, but you must make It look IS." "Don't you have to. squeeze awful hard," piped a wide-eyed girl In a Napoleon hat, who had never been taught that she mustn't speak up In meeting. "You don't have to squeeze at all," re turned Mme. "Wade. "Xou must wear a proper corset, get into It properly, and take the simple physical culture exercises which I shall show you." Then Mme. Wade, with the aid of some ravlshlngly pretty models and some cor sets that have been adopted by the Na tional Dressmakers Association, proceed ed to do stunts that astonished and In terested her audience. In the evening Mme. Hunt, president of the association, talked on "The Uses and Abuses of Trimmings." "BBIEF TELEGRAPHIC HEWS. Professor Frank K.
