COLORS THAT MAKE ONE
SEEM SLIM.
T
A girl who fears that she Is too
plump for the fashionable Ideal
of beauty should ponder well be
fore choosing the color of her
clothes.
Many colors add to their wear
er’s apparent size, while others
have a kindly way of diminish
ing It.
Thus black—alas that It should
be so In a gray world!—has the
power of making any one look
her slimmest, and the stout find
it a friend. Yet Its effect Is so de
pressing that one forgives those
who Ignore this quality.
Subdued shades of blue, helio
trope and olive green have also
this happy and much coveted ef
fect of lessening the appearance
of bulk, but wedgwood blue, pale
gray and almost all tones of red
have the opposite power.
White can be worn by all,
though only the blond should
choose clear or dead white.
The wise brunette should select
creamy tones.
Mauve and certain shades of
green If worn near the neck and
shoulders are helpful In lessen
ing any appearance of overstout
ness.
Oddly enough, these colors usu
ally suit a certain type of blond
that Is apt to become stout after
very early girlhood Is past.
