Don't use a lot of fuss and detail
In your dress In the hope that it
will muke people forget you're tall.
That's the consensus from ex
perts to the tall girl. The girl with
height can wear clothes beautifully
and look elegunt. When properly
groomed, she can bo the envy of
her shorter sisters.
Contrasting colors and horizontal
lines are recommended for tall
girls, but If this sume girl has a
lovely slender figure, she Is told
to emphasize her lines by repeat

vice because whatever the asset
It should bo brought out with
proper wearing apparel.
However, If the tall girl has a
thin angular face and figure she
should use horizontal lines to play
down the poor points. For example,
don't expose the forehead with a
tall hot that sits on the back of the
hcud. Select a wide-brimmed hat
which covers tho forehead and at
the same time gives a horizontal
line.
Never repeat angularity with ver
tical, straight or droopy lines.
They’ll only succeed In making you
look ungainly.

If You are Tall
The long torso blouse Is perfect
for the tall girl. The brief sweater
or the tuck-ln, high waist skirts
should be avoided.
It you are angular, wear the

new blouses. If you are slim and
tall, wear the large bows. If you
are tall and heavy, wear the slim

Round-shouldered girls should not

stoop. Keep the neckline flat in
the back and
ear a bolero when

,
Tall girls should not wear the
tight narrow skirts. They simply
emphasize height. The droopy look,
too, Is to be avoided. Use draped
skirts, snappy pleated ones o’r those
with the peg pockets that give a
suggestive horizontal line.
Tall slim girls would do well to
choose swim suits with shirring
and a voluminous skirt to hide their
bony areas.
Another good selection In a swim
suit is the soft dressmaker type
with the shirred or gathered top.

You’ll want to choose the ultra-

Masculine clothes are too angular

Wide belts help materially In

Thousands, even millions of wom

change or excitement ahead on the

now and then.
For instance, a telephone call

the Union Station at noon? I can't
talk now, but it’s important. Pack
a bag for me, and notify the m ilk

Or even—for we are humans and
not supermen, after all—an agi

"Sally, the Brown's place is on
