JUS ANY WOMEN with styling prob-
lams feel they cannot do Justice
to their needs with winter clothing
The short, plump woman feels that
heavy winter clothing only increases
her else and she longs for warm
weather and it* lighter garment*
because she feels these are more
suited to her.
On the other hand, tall and slender
women feel that tha mors sombre
winter colors and their heavy ma-
terials taka away color and drama
which can be achieved with cloth-
ing for other seasons.
Perhaps these complaints were
once true, but not thle lesson. Tha
new clothes cait give you all the
color you want, or supply the muted
■hades which may ba preferable.
Clothai can give the Illusion of slsn-
dernais If you're on the plump side;
or. they can auppty a certain busi-
ness with their texture, but not their
weight. If this Is what you look for
in them. '
Those with soft rounded contour*
about the face and nack will wel-
come the bared shoulder look which
Is so pleasing and flattering to them.
Those with sharper lines will be
pleased with the high necklines
which io many dresses and suits
feature.
After you've studied your Individ-
ual problems and then the available
styles, you can easily choose the
moat flattering costume* Don’t

be that the old coat needs fur added
to It to restyle properly, but this Is
not such ■ big Investment once you
think about the pleasing wear you’ll
got.
Brown, black or grey furs wlD
go well with any of the colors of
the season, and the choice of fur
depends on how each looks against
the skin. Try ell types within your
budget on before trying to make a
choice.
It Isn't necessary to pick ■ black
fur coat simply because most of
your dresses end suits ere black.
Black end brown ere ■ smart com-
bination this season.
Since grey Is neutral, It will go
with either black or brown, end
will still be good with deep red,
navy, green or orange, some of the
high fashion colors of the season.
Generally speaking, the flat furs
ar* good for those who ar* plump,
while the long-haired furs ere mor*
becoming on those who can carry
additional weight In clothing. Cere
should be taken In observing these
rules, since sometimes a flat fur
will appear too harsh, end you
may need ■ different type to give
the neeeeeary softness to the fea-
tures.
Rales In
Of §a*w Apparel
Teen-agers will be particularly
Interested In picking snow apparel
suitable to their types, especially
those who are clothes conscious.
Since few of the girls have e knowl-
edge of the basic rules which should
be applied In selecting snow suits
end heavier clothing, mother can
be of reel help.
For the girl who hai sprung like
■ weed, end has not yet filled
out, choose ■ snow suit with plain
pants en e bold plaid top. This cuts
height and makes ■ dashing cos-
tume which will pleas* her. The
plaid top has the additional
advantage of adding weight to her
figure.
For the girl who la conscious of
her plumpness as well as lack of
inches, ■ plain dark suit with no
contrast Is the order. Piping may
add ■ not* of color to collar, cuffs
end front opening, as this will In
no way cut height.
Tall girls can ehooa* bold Jackets
for casual wear and outings, but
the shorter girls would do better
to stay with cerefully fitted casual
costa which ar* not too full. If
they do lnalst on ■ Jacket, see that
It 1* choaen to go with clothea that
do not contrast too highly with It
Accessories Can Minimis*
Figure Faults
If you hav* some feature you went
to minimize, then proper accessory
choice will do the Job for you. The
woman who Is conscious of large
feet, for example, can dress them
carefully so footwear colors match
aa nearly aa possible her dreei or
suit, end In this way the feet will
pees unnoticed.
All points you went to emphasize
may be don* with accessories, too.
It you hav* neat ankles, then the
strapped shoes with sheer hose ere
for you. If you hav* lovely, ex-
pressive hands, then choose gloves
end purse that are dramatic.
